Although postmodernism isn’t as strictly defined as other philosophical movements, one can still clearly say what it doesn’t represent. Postmodern philosophy is typically associated on the internet as feminism/multiculturalism/Cultural Marxism, although it is none of that at all. It may have some loose ties by influencing some feminists and critical theorists through some scholars such as Foucault and Deleuze, but you can’t really mash all of them into a same philosophical movement.

- friendlybus 7y agoThe premise of that video is wrong when applied to Peterson. It misrepresents Peterson in the first minute by taking Peterson's discussion about pomo neomarxism to be his proclaimed understanding of postmodernists. He isn't talking about postmodernists in the video, he is talking about a group of people that apply both neomarxist and postmodern ideas at the same time. Cuck philosophy forwarding Judith butler in the video description as a credible source is damaging to his reputation. Other of his videos have been debunked before.
- EGreg 7y agoSome of my FB friends are climate change denialists invoking postmodernism whenever they need to disagree with scientific consensus. People on the right also invoke postmodern ideas when they don’t want to have evolution being taught in their schools and so on.
