Grappling with Postmodernism in a Post-Trump America

A couple of rules of thumb I’ve learned to follow in the past four or five years:

• If I read it on social media, best to assume it’s bullshit.

• If the belief is not backed up by data, it’s bullshit.

• If a politician says it without supporting evidence, it’s bullshit.

• If it’s full of ‘buzzwords’ (intersectionality, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, TERF, fragility), it’s bullshit.
