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.

Postdac

WORD roots: POST* + DAC**
* = Post on social media
** = A dacian (a person who lived in Dacia, modern day Romania: the ancestors of romanians, besides romans and slavs)

Similar to Postac.

DEFINITION:
A person that posts frequently on social media about all sorts of political regurgitated propaganda and pretends to be an expert in anything and everything, but also pretends to be the ultimate nationalist / patriot and lives by his ancestors roots.

Example:
Ce POSTDAC e Marcel! Ieri a postat că el nu se vaccinează niciodată și că tunelurile dacice ne vor apăra de atacuri nucleare. Apoi a postat propagandă politică din alte țări, plângându-se de țara noastră.

Joh is such a POSTDAC.
He posted recently that he doesn't trust vaccines and the dacian tunnels extend to Rusia.

Postal Two

Postal 2. Weird FPS where you deliver packages to a bunch of weirdos in a small town.

Or something to that effect.

"Wow! This new game, 'Postal two', is really weird, funny, and fun to play. And I don't usually like weird games!"

or:

"Hey, the weather's been really rainy lately, why don't I play my good ol' copy of 'Postal two' for the thousandth time to take my mind off it."
