Western and liberal media are the only trustworthy and never would do that, you must be wrong tankie
One of my favorite recent tropes is liberals lashing out when you link them mainstream lib media like NYT or WSJ explaining that the war is lost.
Even for such short-sighted people, this must be massive cognitive dissonance. On the other hand, these contradictions may be not enough to make them to some reflection, since postmodernist universities teach people that there is "no objective t uth" and "each opinion is equally true" 🤦🏽
I always see reactionaries saying that last sentence, and I'm not calling you one, I'm just pointing out that I've never ever seen any educational institution say that there is no objective truth or that all opinions are equally valid.
Maybe I went too far: I meant that present universities have postmodernist mindset (based e.g. on my experience with philosophy graduates), they criticise communism almost equally with fascism as "totalitarianism" and from the tragedy of ww2 they deduce that modernism does not work, so we can not rely on rationalism etc. at least this is my impression
Nice to share, but without elaborating further, your post contributes nothing
Hot take: Postmodernism does have some good takes — correctly does call out the subjectivity in the stuff libs call “objective” that are in fact open to other (even better) interpretations. Not saying some takes aren’t more wrong than others or anything though.
I think nobody denies that some notions are subjective, but postmodernists essentially claim that all truths are subjective
indeed
