Postmodernists are intellectuals who are so jealous of the success of real scientists, that they pretend that scientists’ accomplishments are nothing special. They are the sort of people who authoritatively state, “There is no truth,” or “‘Truth’ is a social construction.

Otherwise,it is a continuation of many Marxist ideas, such as atheism, socialism, punctuated evolution, oppression and marginalization of classes and other minorities,and the socially constructed self.

If you think this is fake, try reading Jurgen Habermas. I kid you not, boilerplate is more transparent. And it makes this stuff sound like it actually makes sense.

Part of the problem, admittedly, is that Habermas was translated from German, which often translates turgidly. But I also suspect that there is an element of utter gibberish in this stuff, whether because the language itself becomes inadequate to the task or because the concepts are just too esoteric to be relevant (or because it's just a bunch of hoohaw) I don't know ...
