A place to discuss Post Modernism and its deleterious effects on Western Culture. Unlike the PM movement Hate isn't tolerated here however, disagreement always is.

Quick test:
You may be a post modernist if:

You believe that all ideas are equal and no hierarchy of truth can exist - except yours.

You expect others to not merely accept all available ideas and philosophies and lifestyles but to embrace them as co-equal with the person?s.

You believe that a speaker who mentions anything regarding homosexuality, women, minorities etc must include a tone and preferably verbiage to indicate the speaker?s approval of said subjects to ensure that no one hearing might think that somehow there could be anything negative in the proffered speech.

You excoriate anyone who fails to accept your idea of truth as the only real truth ostracizing calling names and using hate to coerce submission to your thinking.

You excoriate anyone who dares to voice thought that disagrees with your own.

You believe that it is right and just to replace historical fact with propaganda.

You are utterly dogmatic about dogmatism and absolute in your opposition to absolutism

You believe that if a person is against racially based admissions policies, she is racist.

You believe that if a person holds to religious convictions concerning homosexuality, he is homophobic.

You believe Western civilization is the cause of all evil in the world.

You believe that multiculturalism is better than racial identity unless the identity is one of a recognized minority in which event you believe it is superior to others and must be preserved.

You believe that persons who express politically incorrect thoughts are intolerant, fanatics, bigots, racist, prejudiced, hate mongers, phobic, etc., and you don?t see how that makes you a fascist.

You brand anyone who dares to stand for objective truth and absolute standards as an intolerant bigot who has no right to speak, a fanatic who must be silenced in order that progress might continue.

You excoriate people who prefer to avoid homosexuality in their lives as evil bigoted and phobic.

You think that a crucifix suspended in a jar of urine is art but would rage at the notion of an artist suspending a Kwanza candle, a feminist or gay symbol in a jar of urine.

You think parental rights are entirely subordinate to your desire to re-educate other people?s children to your way of thinking.

You attack the Judiciary for enforcing the law preferring to impose your noisy howling idea of what is good for everyone.

You are willing to
(i) sacrifice achievement for self-esteem.
(ii) sacrifice substance for style.
(iii) sacrifice history for propaganda.
(iv) sacrificing fact for fiction.
(v) sacrificing freedom for ?political correctness?.
(vi) sacrificing parental rights for government authority.
(vii) sacrifice the good of the many for the good of the one.

You believe that deconstructionist revisionism should not apply to:
(i) Karl Marx
(ii) Foucault
(iii) Lacan
(iv) Derrida
(v) Barthes
(vi) Malcolm X
(vii) Martin Luther King
(viii) women.

You believe that a person is somehow ?less than? and patently inferior unless they are identified as:
(i) pro-feminist,
(ii) pro-gay rights,
(iii) pro-minority,
(iv) pro-preferential treatment for the above
(v) mistrustful of tradition,
(vi) scornful of historically important white European males
(vii) skeptical toward the idea of a "masterpiece,"


You think Elisabeth Burgos-Debray effectively speaks for all the Indians of the American continent in her fictional work where she posits a main character a Guatemalan woman who hated capitalism, rejected marriage and motherhood, became a feminist, a socialist, and finally a Marxist, then went to Paris to argue politics with fellow communists. This makes sense to you?


You think it makes sense that a University should require courses in ethnic studies without any requirement for even a single course in Western civilization.



You fail to understand that insisting on the above makes you an Orwellian neo-Fascist.
