Post-modernisms refutation of objective truth/fact is to reject thousands of years of painful development of human thought and the basis of science. I can reject the theory of gravity, but it wont stop a 1000m fall killing me.

You can believe every single element of current scientific consensus without calling it “objective truth.” I mean, that’s kind of the idea behind scientific theories anyway. They’re just the most fitting narratives.

How? This is the irrationality of PC theory. Nature , reality the universe, whatever you want to call it, doesn't care if you think something is unfair! The philosophy literally teaches its adherents how not to think.

By recognizing that our scientific understanding of the world is as close to objective as we can currently manage, but no matters in science are ever settled. “PC theory(?)” has 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 to do with postmodernism. And why should I care what nature “thinks” about fairness?

PC culture, SJW behavior and intersectionality are all derived from Post-modernism, itself, derived from Marxism, which claimed to be a scientific political philosophy but abhors the fundamental tenets of science, when I am wrong, I change my mind.

You say that, but how? How are any of those first three things related to Postmodernism in anyway? None of them have anything to do with skepticism or recognizing narrative constructs. Especially not “SJW behavior,” which I would think is *extremely* narrative-driven.

So where does the SJW narrative come from? Intersectionality is an outcome of the internal contradictions of post-modernism.

Depends what you mean by “SJW.” Intersectionality is the natural progression of feminism and its synthesis with anti-racist and pro-LGBTQ thought. It also comes largely from political Critical Theory, which is derived DIRECTLY from Marxism— no need for postmodernist middlemen.

1. I will take your word on that. No doubt you are right. But isn't this based on a low opinion of humanity? You don't strike me as wanting to dominate anyone. So why do you think everyone else is so different?

I don’t want to dominate anybody, and I don’t want to be dominated by anybody. I believe the powerful do what they can to hold onto their power mainly because they unconsciously condition each other to do so, not because they’re necessarily malicious or unusually greedy.

I never doubted it, but some do want to dominate. They need to be constrained by law, culture and religion. None of these forces function in a socialist or communist state if that person obtains power. That is reason enough to abandon this doctrine.

How is capitalism more amenable to law, culture or religion functioning? And nobody should ever have power over an entire nation. Sort of a technicality, but “communist state” is an oxymoron. Capital-C Communists run states. But communism describes a stateless mode of society.
