I didn't think a center-left site would be open to criticism of post-modernism, but here we are.
Why would rationalists be against criticizing postmodernism?
You've got a point there.
It would actually be nice if the right was actually anti-post-modern, rather than embracing their own version of it.
Isn't that everyone though? By and large, people are the labels they embrace, right up to the point where it stops being convenient for them and no further.
To an extent, yes, but it seems much worse now.
Which ones?
Are you asking about what conservatives I'm talking about? I wish there was a more down to earth form of conservatism. Trumpians and other conservatives are post-modern in the sense they promote "alternative facts" and use recycled post-modern arguments to deny climate science and the like.
Just kind of unsure because the right is a really broad term.
Trumpism isn't postmodernism, it's just a personality cult centered around a strongman who doesn't take any actual positions outside of national revanchism. It's basically Boulangism but with bone spurs. They aren't using postmodernist arguments against climate change, just using pseudoscience to deny it ("it's cold outside").
Trumpism rejects objective truth as well, which is what makes it at least similar to post-modernism. I'm not the one who coined the term post-modern conservative, but I agree that for many conservatives, it is a pretty accurate description. They effectivly deny objective truth and basically push for a subjective reality; we see that with the inauguration crowd size debate.
Also, https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Postmodernism#Enabling_pseudoscience Basically rejects objective truth.
https://thephilosophicalsalon.com/post-modern-conservatism/ I partially agree with this.
I can't find what I read that claimed similarity to climate change denial unfortunately.
Modernism/Postmodernism was a mistake.
Gotta go back, back to the past...
Edit: Also urls don't work here do they.
Only nationstates.net urls work here.
Well dang, I was trying to make a Samurai Jack reference.
As for the other part of your post, I don't know if Modernism was a mistake. My knowledge on it is limited, but I can say that while the technology is great, I don't think I like the current state of society.
I already did, it's why I'm a Marxist. :P
