Postmodernism

A way to philosophize yourself into a lunatic asylum

postmodernism

Postmodernism is a philosophy that holds that there are no such things as truth, facts, or objective reality, and such concepts are oppressive tools of the white male power structure. A common postmodernist refrain is "Perception is reality". Rather than there being an objective reality that everyone is perceiving through lenses that can and do contain distortions, postmodernism teaches that reality is different for every person, and there is no such thing as a false narrative. An old expression says that "There are three sides to every story: yours, mine, and the cold, hard truth". Postmodernism gets rid of that third side. Everybody's worldview, right down to the mentally disturbed person screaming on the subway about the end times, is equally valid. Young-earth creationists, flat-earthers, anti-vaxxers, and Q-Anon cultists are taken seriously, and have followings, because of postmodernism. Before postmodernism, these people would have been roundly dismissed as idiots, and rational minds would set the record straight.

We went from there being three news channels that admittedly told a slanted narrative, to one where there are millions of "news sources" to choose from to fit your own personal narrative. And we went from one stifling, oppressive (usually religiously-driven) set of moral standards, to NO moral standards whatsoever, and complete moral relativism. Because no answers is better than one answer, and you must NEVER tell a person that they're wrong.
When I was a kid I was foolishly taught that the sky was blue, but now, thanks to postmodernism, I know that the sky is whatever color a person believes it to be.

The blanket assertion that any claim associated with "postmodernism" is automatically false, confused, or dangerous. The fallacy lies in treating a diverse, complex intellectual tradition as a monolithic error, and in using the label as a refutation rather than engaging specific ideas. "That's just postmodernism" becomes a conversation-ender, as if naming the tradition does the work of critique. But postmodernism includes many thinkers with different views; some may be right, some wrong, most complex. The label isn't the argument.
Postmodernism Equals False Fallacy "I mentioned that knowledge might be socially constructed. Response: 'That's just postmodern nonsense!' That's Postmodernism Equals False Fallacy—using the label as a dismissal. But the social construction of knowledge is a serious claim with evidence behind it. Whether it's 'postmodern' or not doesn't determine its truth. The label isn't the logic."

Postmodernista Es Fallacy

A fallacy where someone dismisses all arguments of a person by labeling them a "postmodernist." The label functions as a dismissal: if you're postmodernist, your arguments are automatically confused, relativist, or nihilistic. The fallacy lies in treating the label as refutation, ignoring that postmodernism is a diverse tradition with serious thinkers and that labeling someone doesn't engage their actual claims. It's intellectual dismissal by category association.
"I mentioned that knowledge might be socially constructed. Response: 'Oh, you're one of those postmodernists.' That's Postmodernista Es Fallacy—using the label to dismiss, not engaging the claim. Social construction of knowledge is a serious position; calling it 'postmodernist' doesn't refute it. It just shows you'd rather name-call than think."
