i'm just curious, is your name like Les Misanthrope, like les is short for leslie or something? because if you're trying to be french about it, les is the article for plural nouns and you would actually want to be LeMisanthrope, i think.
sign me not necessarily postmodern, just pedantic
I'm curious, since you keep up with media etc. is post-modernist a specific reference, such as SJW (with a stereotype)
Or going by the true definition someone who's thoughts must be related to future ways (after modern)
Same with SJW, social justice warrior, without the stereotype and just pure definition, is someone who wants what is best for social situations. But I think you are basing it off of popular stereotypes, in which case it is hard to find an argument for me

It's supposed to be a play on words. Le Misanthrope and Les Miserables are my favourite plays. Over the head and below the knees I suppose.
I'm finding out what post modernism is. Apparently it's criticizing modern values, one example is that our reality is an objective one that exists independently of any person, and is really actually real.
Post-modernists may argue that that is an assumption based off our eyes and it is a concept.
I think I know what post modernism is now, people who think mandella effect is real.
I'm on board with you then bro

But besides the constant gibberish, the irresponsible relativism, and the fickle need for self aggrandizement, postmodernism has advocated mistrust in the very methods with which we understand and change the world for the better.
More recently, Walter Truett Anderson described postmodernism as belonging to one of four typological world views, which he identifies as either (a) Postmodern-ironist, which sees truth as socially constructed, (b) Scientific-rational, in which truth is found through methodical, disciplined inquiry, (c) Social-traditional, in which truth is found in the heritage of American and Western civilization, or (d) Neo-Romantic, in which truth is found through attaining harmony with nature and/or spiritual exploration of the inner self.[12]

Copper conducts electricity. Is that a true statement?
