What the hell is being "exposed" here? Nothing approaching an accurate understanding of postmodernism is advanced ANYWHERE. if you wan to critique postmodernists – which is all cool man – why not actually refer to their work or own sayings? Peterson especially confused about deconstruction, which is PURELY TEXT-BASED. stop throwing your RW culture-war paranoia on to things you don't even attempt to understand properly. no wonder the world is falling apart when this passes as a rigorous pursuit of knowledge. hilarious
(9:41) Chomsky sitting like that is cute!
…and ceterum autem
censeo Post Structuralism esse delendam.
Is there anything in the world more degrading that listening to the confused rambling of the French?
What a sad, silly, stupid human being Foucault is: and he will be the one to destroy the West, because other sad, silly, stupid human beings need someone to organize their sadness, silliness and stupidity into a dangerous racial ideology.
These people deserve no free speech. We need a time out on free speech and the value of a human life until the Marxists, postmodernists, faruto-existentialists and general leftists are machine gunned by the tens of thousands. They used free speech to destroy other's free speech: fuck them. Time to kill them.
We can get back to democratic norms and the value of human life after the list of, say, 250,000 journalists, intellectuals, key teachers and politicians are killed. Sometimes democracy must be watered by the blood of tyrants, intersectionals and fucking marxians.
We can call it "Kristalltag", the opposite of Kristallnacht.
Who’s funding the radicals and oppressed? It costs money to form a movement.
Why are the post modernists always so effeminate?
The music adds nothing to the content.
I always thought that Derrida was really just "having a piss" as the British would say. Just making fun of intellectuals, and getting paid to write sarcastic crap. He used to go to the U.S. And other non French speaking countries and give lectures entirety in French, respond to questions in French, laugh and then leave.
Spengler should be required reading, a good idea of the philosophy of the history of Culture is paramount to understanding human nature.
5:17 "Wait a minute..is that what I'm doing?"
What I got from this is that French egotism terminally poisoned western civilization.
Why would you step over the voice in French with music?! There are some of us who can understand French, you know.
Putting Noam Chomsky and Jordan Peterson in the same video is insulting towards Chomsky.
BTW, Chomsky starts at 6:57
I never read any post-modernists, never read much at all, don’t know anything about post-modernism, but Jorden Peterson calls them Marxists all the time so post-modernists are the devil. You people are pathetic.
Postmodernism is a religion and Jaques Derrida is its prophet.
Form over substance – PM in a nutshell.
"those who know they are profound (…)"
this statement isn't striving for clarity
The postmodernists and socialists etc. just don't seem to get it. Despite overwhelming real life experience they continue to advocate social systems that do not work and have devastating impacts on the human populations affected. This happens because they approach it as an academic exercise and do not human nature into account, how people actually behave. People seek "power" simply because it allows them to influence and control their environment. This motive is related to the need for security because they are better able to optimize life for themselves and their family. Unfortunately, too much power is often misused for personal gain. This is one reason that so many third world nations are unable to get their shit together. Political corruption has become institutionalized and the system just doesn't work for most.
We are all composed of 100 trillion borders called cells and within that are more borders containing mitochondria, a nucleus and genes. Borders are meant to keep disease out and allow nutrients in.
