So, you’re using logic to deconstruct an illogical belief system?

Postmodernists are “comfortable with contradiction”.

It all comes down to “I want to do whatever the hell I want to do without any consequences, including ‘judgement’ of my behavior”.

My goal - and the goal of others - should be to use this and more (that I will post later) - to decosnstruct Deconstructionism (Postmodernism).

Thus, a pillar of liberalism can be brought down - which will have an effect on liberalism itself.

How sweet can that be?

But, postmodernists do not stop their judging of others.

1.a They themslves would say that waterboarding is torture and not merely just another method of interrogation.

1.b And then turn around and say that “one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedomm fighter.” They would say that it is relative.

2.) So, one could reply, “One man’s torture method is another man’s mere interrogation method?” Relative?

They would say “no.”

They would say that 1b is relative, and 2 isn’t. They would hold fast to 1b, while attacking 2.)

Thus they relativize everything else, while claiming to be absolutely correct on what they believe.

That is the goal of Postmodernism - relativize conservatism, while claiming that liberalism is true and should be believed and adhered to.
