    It is ironic how chuds are against Postmodernism when that’s the foundation of their ideology. Marxism is a modernist philosophy: it has concrete definitions and focuses on the scientific method. Postmodernism rejects not only Modernism, it rejects the concept of rules and definitions altogether.

    So when a Marxist uses a word, they mean a specific definition with a history of understanding behind its meaning. Postmodernists, on the other hand, make up random ass shit word salad like “high agency males,” where the listener is free to infer whatever they want.

      Postmodernity, Baudrillard said, is the condition in which the domain of reality has become so heavily mediated by signs as to become inaccessible in itself, leaving us entirely in the domain of the simulacra, images that bear no relation to anything outside of themselves. This hyperreality is presented as the terminal stage of simulation, where signs and images become entirely self-referential.
