Science is a social construct

Why is this shit inherently 'leftist' though?

Why do you consider liberals "Pro capitalist" a leftist arm ?

...

it isn't. the people taking "me studies" are literally just oversocialized rich liberal kids.

It's funny, conservative media will whip up hysteria over what a few "leftists", who are mostly just the aforementioned oversocialized liberal idiots, are doing, but in 4 years those same people will go join a Wall Street firm or tech company and forget all about their "opposition" to capitalism. This is the magic of idpol, by creating a diverse upper-middle class, the ruling class can divert attention from economic issues onto racism.

This. Idpol is just a smokescreen to obscure real issues while looking like you're fighting against injustice and "the man".

A good litmus test is that if an idea is ever adopted by the powers that be, then it isn't radical enough.

Science is a bourgeois. Not even joking. Just look at history and all the its bourgeois aka scientists. All scientists will be purged on the day of revolution. Pol Pot was right.

saved

Socialism is bourgeois.

They might not be your comrades but they are firmly of the left.

I'm apparently dealing in a social construct. Nice. Glad to know that those X-rays are actually being diffracted by little black people and not gaps in crystal atoms.

I think I'll 'socially construct' a thorium-laced IED and drop it off somewhere. Social science and all that.

Seems to be broadly accurate yes.

I know wiki is almost satire these days but by fuck I wish I hadn't followed these links.

K. I can accept that these are not your leftists. So who the fuck are these people, what is their over-arching theory and what the fuck do they want? The only thing I can see common across these fields is their contempt for modernism. What do they want??

Tenured professorship in a university in "Writing drivel" studies, 100k starting.

How on earth do these people imagine science and reason to be "social constructs" invented by the "white devil" as a "tool of colonialism" if the progress of science and reason were roughly identical from one civilization to the next for most of history?

I live in Hawaii (very heavily Filipino now in addition to the natives, and earlier waves of Asian immigrants from Japan/China), involved particularly in health, and the amount of "allopathic medicine is a plot by whitey to crush our authentic culture!" retardation, even among credentialed professionals, is mindboggling.

Pol Pot was right

Kill the intellectuals and well read fools

True Revolution belongs to the common man

Could be this simple. But what has happened that means such claims can go unchallenged? It's part of a bigger 'redefining reality' thing that seems to stem from leftist philosophers. Assuming they believe their Marx they see philosophy as a tool for causing change so it is fair to assume this is what they are doing.

...

It's pure reactionary nonsense. They cling to cultural flotsam like drowning men because they're unable to recognize it's the torrent of capitalism washing away their "culture."

The people who do this PoMo bs almost exclusively hate their own culture and seek to change it. Anti-rationalists are the fucking worst.

Holla Forumstier grasp of concepts everywhere even if from the "left"

Rationalism >>> PoMo 'muh feels be realz' BS.

Why do Post-Modernist 'intellectuals' reject enlightenment values again lad?

Yeah. Idpol is cancer. Transsexuals are mentally ill and their delusions should not be entertained. They are objectively and materially not the opposite sex.

...

Tbh post-colonialism is the only part of the New-Left that isn't totally shit, except when it just degenerates into nationalism.

Are they starting to try and fit in by pretending to be rationalist faggots chugging analytic cock?

Science + analytic philosophy = patriarchy

...

...

This.

How's Zizek or Lacan "pomo" again?
