There is so much wrong with this, I hardly know where to start — or if to start at all! Here are a few thoughts:

  1. Post modernism is starting to be redefined by the left. I suspect that this is because it is failing miserably. Things are actually getting worse in those spheres in which postmodernism holds sway. Academia, for example.
  2. Post modernism is a phase that we must go through. Feminism is similar. Like feminism, it is not, and SHOULD not be an end goal. Post modernism was a push back against positivism. Mission accomplished. It is time to move on. The challenge is that “meta modernism” is already wrong on the face of it. It ultimately depends on sharing power in the spirit of plurality, and the people and groups who hold power will never let that happen. It is an ideal — a pipe dream. A pleasant one, but definitely naive.
  3. Using philosophy to bash Trump is childish. This is the sort of thing that frustrates thinking people. Good, serviceable ideas too often get presented by people who are not yet complex enough to understand the nuances. And so the message gets lost in poor, ham handed, or snarky delivery. This just looks like liberal partisanship disguised as a good idea. But it IS a good idea. Stop this. Please. Read some more and do not post for a while.
