True for You but Not for Me | 5 Minute Video

[@CCoburn3]

Lincoln once asked, "If we say a dog's tail is a leg, how many legs does a dog have?" Some answered that in that case, a dog has five legs. "No," said Lincoln, "A dog still has four legs. Saying a tail is a leg doesn't make it a leg." A whole generation is being raised to reject just that kind of common sense.

Chalk it up to postmodernism; the ideal that "all truth is subjective". Not surprisingly, postmodernism was created by Marxists (communists, socialists). By the 1970s the failings of Marxist doctrine had become obvious. To hide the failings of Marxist doctrine a group of rich French intellectuals created postmodernist thinking. In the 1990s Judith Butler of UC Berkely applied postmodernism to identity politics, which has been ruining colleges ever since.

Thus, they abandoned the working class and instead turned their focus to "minorities", cultivating their *feeling* of opression and reenforcing it. -So the left espoused the idea of open borders, which help no one (often not even the immigrants) and only serve as a way to import new voters.= There is no logical reason to support this policies, but it *feels* right. -They claim to be the advocates for both muslims and homosexuals, even though those are mutually exclusive. -But arguably the clearest manifestation of this "insanity" is their support for "trans-rights", they are celebrating a deviation, that is harmful to the affected and the society alike.

They ignore opposing ideas, even if that idea is better than their own. For example: A liberal proposes a new housing plan for Detroit (absurd, but bare with me for the sake of the example). The plan would be expensive, it would take a very long time to finish, and perhaps there's no plan for potential roadblocks. Now say a conservative provides an alternative plan. Say this plan is much more affordable, can be done quickly and safely, and has contingency plans. The conservative's idea is arguably better on all fronts, but because it's not the liberal's idea and because it's a conservative planning it, he doesn't like it and actively protests it.

I don't feel I'm arguing semantics at all. Words have meaning - another inconvenience of postmodern thought. The fact is that even philosophically, the debate wasn't really 'does truth exist' - but rather how is it defined. Beginning with Aristotle and the correspondence theory through coherence, pragmatism, and all the way up to deflationism in the 1970's, there has always been someone trying to shoot holes in the definition of truth. If you want to accuse someone of arguing semantics you can read up on that....ha. Nothing to do with science. As a matter of fact, if truth is subjective, then science is dead!
