Why is postmodernism the new boogeyman when postmodernism wa

Because /pol/babies are too dumb to research what postmodernism actually is and find out that their youtube guru of the month is talking complete bullshit.

Nobody cares about labels. Post modernism, post structuralism, or any other contemporary garbage - the name does not matter, philosophy has died together with Germany. I can only pity the mongoloids who take the likes of Foucault (an aids ridden degenerate who wrote utter bullshit) seriously. It is sad what we have come to.

>Nobody cares about labels

I didn't think it was possible to be so wrong in so few words

>>9598821
They struggle to even define it so I wouldn't take any of it seriously.

Hopefully you'll grow out of stupidity.

Nobody sane cares about labels. What does it matter if you say that e.g. philosopher X belongs to the tradition of philosophy Y. It is irrelevant, all that matters is what he has written.

Postmodernism isn't really dead. It has become shorthand for 'things about current society that I don't like' which sometimes conflates modernist positions. Ironically these complaints are found also in the postmodernists and their more radical surrealist predecessors. I hope with all this attention people start to appreciate postmodernism for what it is and the kind of insight it offers rather than chastising it for things it isn't.

>>9599171
What insight?

>>9599175
Writing as performance, language as a system, disconnect between signifier/signified, inadequacy of rational structures, computers are gay, blah blah

>>9599175
The NrX folks use it to explain why we should do away with democracy and establish numerous absolute Monarchists in its place.

A number of wealthy Jews use it to explain why they should be allowed to use modern """""""art"""""" as a way to launder money and get around taxes.

It acts as a catch-all phrase for "any vaguely left wing garbage I don't like for arbitrary reasons".


See? It's plenty useful!

>Writing as performance, language as a system
Can you maybe link some of the postmodern insights about this?

theory of abstract expressionism was eastablished within modernist framework, then again, it is always insanely vague spectrum of things your sort of people label as modern art

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Différance

is probably the best example of language as a system but also Wittgenstein (who isn't a postmodernist). By writing as performance I just mean engaging with that system, especially the postmodern philosophical texts that also demonstrate theory itself rather than offer a passive window onto the theory. Other writers play around with dichotomies and what have you. But I'm not really a postmodern scholar.

Basically: Derrida.

In one of her lectures she doesn't have a whiteboard to draw on, instead she draws on paper. So out of nowhere she tells to audience to draw a red arrow and flips back through like 5-6 pages of nonsense to connect it to "something".

The evil that men do lives after them; the same is true for philosophical movements.
