Flush Postmodernism Down the Toilet

It’s time to dispose of the waste

A toilet is used to dispose of human waste. Postmodern thought is human waste. We should flush it down the proverbial toilet where such “thought” belongs.

Postmodernism emerged in the 20th century, questioning grand narratives and absolute truths. It highlighted how power structures and perspectives shape communication. Thanks to “thinkers” like Jacques Derrida, language itself got sucked into the postmodern “Black Hole.”

Language deconstructionists argue that words and texts can have multiple interpretations, not just the author’s original intent.

Ludicrous!

When you introduce the idea that language itself has no intrinsic meaning and that it can be bent according to each person’s personal truth (or to the will of the dominant groups in society), you’ve thrown the gates upon to chaos and anarchy.

Without a common language and agreed-upon definitions, communication between people is impossible.

Postmodernism is poisoning society. It’s dividing us, distorting our minds, and making constructive discourse impossible. It is the most incoherent, twisted, and destructive school of “thought” ever to be concocted by humanity.
