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.

Possum boy

A guy who befriends groups of beautiful women with the hopes of “shooting their shot”. They are a sort of scavenger in a harmless way. When confronted on their intentions, they play dead.

“I planned a girl day at the beach, plus our possum boy of course!”
