PostModernism: assault on Western Civilization
Key Principles
- All cultures equal
- Rejects all western culture accomplishments, progress is a form of dominance and control
- World is battleground of competing power hierarchies
- Oppressor versus Oppressed is key driver, replaces class warfare, power is all that matters
- Western culture is source of all evil in world
- Enlightenment is white nationalism, supremacy and racism
- All other cultures are good, innocent
- Everything is subjective narrative, no objective truth
- There are as many truths as there are narratives
- All knowledge is ethnic, racial and gender based
- Reason is male based tool of oppression
- Science is another way of dominating people
- Claims of scientific evidence is owner based, open to question
- Group Identity is all,individual identity suppressed

- People vulnerable, we must avoid words or acts of difficult topics that "trigger" any past trauma which could be managed by others,
- The strong need to defer to the weak
Subset: Microaggression theory:
- Racism, sexism and genderism have gone underground, embedded in our society
- We must uncover hidden race, sex and gender bias, reject same
