post modernism

A mating ritual involving an intricate non-melodic vocal performance. The similarity between this mating ritual and language used to communicate information is purely coincidental and has lead to much confusion.
Alan Sokal's recent attempt to communicate with post modernists had mixed results; the post modernists attempted to mate with Alan, but no offspring have yet been reported. Exactly how post modernists reproduce, and if they can breed with humans is still being researched.
"'Insert random noun' is a socialist construct" translates to "ooh baby, don't you look sexy. Do you like it post modernism style?"

modernism

It is an over theorised term used to describe a very old fashioned art movement.
I occured from around 1850 to 1950. Impressionism, cubism, fauvism, and realism are examples of modernism.
Modernism was replaced by postmodernism - Which one can not even talk about in a dictionary.
I still don't understand what exactly "modernism" means - it happened over a hundred years ago.

Postest Modernism

A movement that has been gaining popularity since the beginning of post-er modernism. So modern that it made post-er modernism not look not modern at all. It is best defined as everything is nothing and nothing is a green 2. While seeming non sensical to the untutored mind...wait, it doesn't matter.
1. If Oedipus and Jocasta didn't subscribe to the philosophy of Postest Modernism, they probably would not have gotten married.

2. Since I am a Postest Modernist, I am going to have sex with that dolphin!

I felt like a voyeur as I performed my "daily moyerism" of surfing the internet to find photos of Stephen Moyer.

post modernism is a movement rejected by the passive mainstream because it forces the audience to think too much. in essence it is created for more of an aggressive artsy crowd.

Mobergerism

A term derived from the works of Victor Moberger (particularly "Pseudoscience, Pseudoscience, and Bullshit" and "Truth about Objective Truths") describing a specific form of Objectivity Bias and Objective Hyperrealism where disagreement is managed through taxonomic dismissal rather than substantive engagement. The Mobergerite doesn't simply disagree with positions they find problematic—they categorize them as "pseudoscience," "pseudophilosophy," "bullshit," or related terms, thereby placing them outside the bounds of legitimate discourse without needing to address their actual content. It's a rhetorical strategy that uses the language of objectivity and scientific rigor to police the boundaries of acceptable thought while exempting itself from similar scrutiny. The Mobergerite occupies the position of the gatekeeper, armed with taxonomic categories that function as weapons rather than analytical tools.
Example: "He didn't engage with a single argument in the paper—he just declared it 'pseudophilosophy' and moved on. Classic Mobergerism: winning the debate by declaring the opponent wasn't really playing."
