Why does Pynchon look so retarded in every photo?

It was the way leftists found to attack the postwar consensus that quickly became outdated once these same leftists reached power.

Moderns are asleep

It's a terrible ideology that always fails to give the people what they need.
Unlike reactionarism and national socialism, we know how good they always work and how great their end results are.

Postmodernism is a late-20th-century movement in the arts, architecture, and criticism that was a departure from modernism.[1][2] Postmodernism articulates that the world is in a state of perpetual incompleteness and permanent unresolve. Postmodernism promotes the notion of pluralism; that there are many ways of knowing, and many truths to a fact. From a postmodern perspective knowledge is articulated from local perspectives, with all its uncertainties, complexity and paradox. Thus knowledge is relational and all realities are woven on local linguistic looms.[3] Postmodernism includes skeptical interpretations of culture, literature, art, philosophy, history, economics, architecture, fiction, and literary criticism. It is often associated with deconstruction and post-structuralism because its usage as a term gained significant popularity at the same time as twentieth-century post-structural thought.

The term postmodernism has been applied to a host of movements, mainly in art, music, and literature, that reacted against tendencies in modernism, and are typically marked by revival of historical elements and techniques.[4]

an ideological movement that calls for a sarcastic criticism of modernism and advocates deconstructionalism of preconceived patterns, theories, and forms.

Postmodernism is a critique of modernism, reacting to the hyper-rationalism of the 19th century modernist movements.
It states that conditions in society are results of non-deterministic and non-objective truths. It doesn't deny the existence of
The things we consider "true" are a result of conditioning through our ideas of, as you'll hear from SJWs, gender, but also factors like power relations and social and economic classes.

All kinds of things we take for granted and as absolute truths, postmodernism deconstructs and says "these things are not inherently true, they're things we've created as societies/cultures and now we believe to be the truth.

Postmodernism begins with the realization that one no longer believes in the myth of progress.
