No. 'Wokism'. For those who don't know what this is - because they don't have a Twitter account (most people do) - this is the latest topic of ongoing right-wing outrage."

Supplementary: #MagazineAUQuilletteMattMcManus "conservatives decry postmodernism for undermining belief in traditional epistemological and moral standards. These criticisms are not especially powerful, since they are largely predicated on a nostalgic desire to hold onto those specific standards regardless of their tenability... Postmodern conservatives increasingly regard strong truth claims about knowledge and morality with active suspicion and even hostility. This is because they regard the intellectual and cultural 'elites' who produce knowledge and popularize moral norms as progressive, abstract, and unlikely to sympathize with their concerns. Rather than attempting to formulate alternative claims about knowledge and morality which might have some epistemic and meta-ethical tenability, postmodern conservatives reject even these standards. Instead, they largely appeal to identity as the locus for epistemic and moral validity. This is, in turn, used to rally political support for a given agenda designed to restore that identity to power." https://quillette.com/2018/05/17/emergence-rise-postmodern-conservatism/ #TheoryModernPostConservatism #OtheringElitesLiberalCulturalEducated

Addendum: postmodernism's focus on contingency leads you towards infinite variation i.e. the a priori of the uniquely differentiated individual (where identity is the only commonality). Paradoxically, this is in contradiction with a social-conservative position, which is simultaneously centred around the a priori individualism and the a priori of shared values albeit ones, which are fixed and necessarily unchallengeable (because of their supposed absolute certainty/truth) e.g. 'family values', 'Christian belief' etc. The problem then for social-conservatives is not postmodernism's centring on the individual but in its attacks of what is understood to be sacred/sacrosanct - in short, *tradition*.
