Everything is nuanced, it's just that some things are more or less so, and sometimes the nuance exist but is completely irrelevant.

If everything is nuanced, then "everything is nuanced" must also be nuanced. As such, not everything is nuanced.

Take your post-modernism and shove it :P

How does that relate to post modernism? Give me some resources so I can self crit properly if I am wrong in my statement.

[โ€“] queermunist 2 points 1 year ago

Postmodernism is about subjectivism and suspicion of reason as a concept. Everything is up for interpretation, nothing is certain, objectivity is impossible, etc. It's an ideology that's hostile to the concept of any sort of totalizing truth.

As a materialist I kinda hate it.
