its hilarious that comments to this effect have been posted multiple times, when the actual content of the article specifically quotes/supports ideas by people like Terry Eagleton, a marxist (/religious) thinker who specifically oppose postmodernism


Sure, yeah. I actually studied in an advanced humanities program and have read most of the people he references. I worried a bit about the characterization. But since the labeling didn't really matter for my point I didn't sweat it too much.

I was really into stuff like this for a few years. After a while, this argumentative style just stopped landing for me.

To each his own though. I go back to the blue/gold dress. I can't explain my issues with it without just making people angry, advocates can't explain why it resonates without frustrating the other side.

So... I just want to say sorry if you thought the link was some kind of offensive misdirected attack on something you like.

If you like this stuff, go for it, knock yourself out.
