@GwenMegaro [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [10]: PSS (Postmodern Sullenness Syndrome) is running rampant in our #woke communities. Knowing that #Marxist utopia ain't never gonna happen, #leftists now succomb en masse to an infantile, pouting posture. They couldn't get what they wanted so nobody else can either. The nihilists.

@JoannPearse [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [15]: "Why is the actual working class overwhelmingly not on the Left?"
The "radical" "Left" sold them out in favor of #woke #intersectionality.
As for the liberal left, Chris Hedges lays it all out:

"...and we have to recover that we have to remember that it is not our job to take power that's not our job our job is to remain fast around moral imperatives that we do not compromise on it is our job to defend a dispossessed working class it is our job to defend sick children it is our job to defend those uh who are being uh tortured abused and killed in countries like Iraq and Afghanistan because of our rapacious and out of control War economy and we have to beginning be willing to get up and make personal sacrifices on behalf of these moral imperatives even if at first we become parias that is the only hope left anybody who's foolish enough to think that going to a ballot box at this point and voting for a Democratic candidate is going to change anything um I think is as is is living in a universe that is as non-reality based as the Christian right and if we can recover that ethic if we can understand that Rebellion or resistance is a way to safeguard our own Integrity our own individuality if we can look down the long term and say maybe not in our lifetime but we will carry this for the generations that come after then I think we can speak about Hope but if we refuse to do this if we remain passive and complacent then I think both our nation and finally the ecosystem that sustains human life is doomed" (17 October 2010).

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/ #TheoryPostmodernConservatism #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*. #TheoryPostmodernContingency #TheoryIndividualismSelfActualisation #PoliticsConservatismTraditionalist #PleaAWorldOfSimpleStableFixedOperations #NarrativeValuesFamily And: #EDUCAMcGillUniversityInternationalReviewMIR https://www.mironline.ca/what-is-post-modern-conservatism/ And? http://politicalcritique.org/world/2018/post-modern-conservatism-or-how-the-right-became-what-it-hated/
