All the "structures" that humans created in history are socially constructed and have no objective value or meaning, so they can all be deconstructed, criticized, and replaced arbitrarily. It is quite literally cultural Marxism and Frankfurt school bullshit using critical theory

Postmodern = communist subversion

So you'd say it is some sort of "newspeak" in therms of philosophy, where you can't criticize anything because facts are subjective?

Yes, religion, patriarchy, gender norms, culture, race, and western civilization itself can all be criticized and reconstructed because none of it is objectively rationalized in their eyes

Add to this, postmodernism has two untenable presuppositions. Social constructions are alway false and the fact that multiple explanations exist for phenomena means that are all just as good.

Antibiotics are socially constructed. They would not exist if there were no people. They are real and work.

Postmodernism postulates that the achievements of "the West" (as the most obvious example) such as architecture, science, medicine, nuclear energy, etc, are of no more or less value than a 65-IQ negro making staues of tribal demons from cow dung. It's cultural relativity, usally applied to the art world. It's hated here because it does not appeal to applied reason, but to raw emotion, and a need to denigrate what is clearly beautiful and superior..

Well, anything can and should be criticized, on that I have no problem with them. However, it should be on the basis of fact, not a matter of subjectivity that in the long run makes things confusing(which led me to create this thread)

Also get the impression that they don't like objective standards that can actually measure truth, thus we lose standards in both morals, art and societal order among a lot of other things

A question to anyone in this thread, do you believe postmodernism is confusing on purpouse?

I've heard a post modern anthropologist go do far as to say that when one claims science offers better explanations than shamanism you are just saying "stupid savage" these people even care more about the "feelings" of the tribals than mitigating their pain and suffering through modernization

Postmodernism and feminisms are social constructs too and hence arbitrary and meaningless. They are also a product of the patriarchy/modernity, they share their perceived prejudices and flaws.
There you go, dismounting all their bullshit using their own contradictory ""logic"".

to put it very simply it means nothing matter, like nihilism but focused more on culture/race/ect.
postmodernism is stupid becuase if i say "postmodernism isnt real" its anti-postmodernist to argue the point.
