Kat MCP(NT4) MCSE(Win2K)@witchescauldron you seem very certain! x
I can doubt this, which bit do you won't me to doubt ;) happy to have a look agen.
@witchescauldron I don't think you understand post modernity. Though I am sure I don't!
But the lack of doubt you have in thinking it's a "thing" to "debate" seems to me a clear flag that you don't understand it.
Anyway.,. it't not super important what I think. What I think is important is if you are finding it useful having a "debate".
@kat what I do understand is that #postmodernism is built of sand. Thus it has no foundations so is little worth "understanding".
I studied at university at the hight of the #pomo mess. Empirical expirence over 20 years is that people who "worship" #promo are useless for social change/challenge.
It's a useless idolatry ;)
@witchescauldron I guess that shuts the conversation down.
@kat ok there is "religion" echoing from you. The is way to much intolerance in the contemporary world for us to survive as a culture in the era of #climatechoas ideas to step away from this mess?
@witchescauldron I don't think an understanding and affinity to the use value, and power of postmodernist/poststructuralist analysis is antagonistic to building movements that are in response to climate chaos.
Furthermore, I would say without such analyses your survival/revolutionary movement will likely fail by reproducing power structures and systems that are antithetical to it's stated aims.
Anyway, I look forward to reading your further discourse on this. Thanks for sharing.

@kat my expirence being at the hart of 30 years of affective grassroots social challenge/change movements, is that people who push #postmodernist agenders are both useless to the movements and oftern directly distructive to the movements.
It's well past time to try other world views.
@witchescauldron What do you mean by a postmodernist agenda?
@kat now that is a question that you likely find answers to if you are interested in reading back on the blog http://Hamishcampbell.com
@witchescauldron that sounds like a lot of work for me though. I was wondering if you could .. like .. point me to something more specific. To help me.
