Topic: Post-modernists are evil
Post-modernists assert that there is no truth, and any assertion for a truth is a power play or attempt to dominate another culture. It is a highly prevalent position, infesting the academia and public life in areas related to English, History, Political Science, and Art. Post-modernism is first of all false, and also it is a power play for those who use it.
The theory is wrong because it is a self-contradiction. If there is no truth, then lets ask is this true? If you say yes it is true that there is no truth, then at least something is true and you have disproved it. This argument is an overriding argument used by many prominent intellectuals, and derives from Plato's dialogues against the Sophists. There are other arguments that disprove post-modernism, but this argument is more than sufficient.
My second point is that post-modernism is itself a power play. Truth is not a power play, but the agent speaking it may be motivated by power like a politician using a truth to play on people's fears. Likewise, falsehood can also be motivated by power with lies or half-truths. In the case of post-modernists, this is the case. Their very belief system is a power play because they assert that all claims of truth are power plays. In doing so, they are giving a claim of truth, and by their own logic it is a power-play they're pulling off. In fact, every post-modernist I met was doing that exact same thing, often by trying to give themselves immunity from criticism and enabling them to push their positions through.
And there's my rant against post-modernism. They are the scum of the earth.
