"Truth is subjective" is precisely the key tenet of postmodernism. This is why I refer to it as the granddaddy of all parasitic idea pathogens.

@GadSaad @Bp4_Canada It may be the key tenet of postmodernism but this particular parasitic idea pathogen far pre-dates postmodernism. Here are the Nazis espousing the exact same thing:
Barring planet killing asteroids, and natural threats in the same league, the most dangerous thing in the world is a bad idea. Nazism, Communism, Socialism -- these are bad ideas. The idea that 'truth is subjective' ranks right up there with them. Trying to sequester an idea behind the palisade of 'truth' to make it unassailable is a ridiculous notion. Communicating about the substance of any subject is the way societies address their effects. If their effects are 'bad', then they can be dealt with. Having some 'subjective truth' be sheltered from scrutiny in some way would be akin to having a disease for which no cure could be designed, because it could not be researched. As I said, the notion is ridiculous.
@GadSaad When someone tells you that truth is subjective, ask them what falsehood they want to wish into existence and hope that you'll ignore their evasion of reality and treat their whim as fact.
@GadSaad It's all very predictable. The ones that depend the most on subjective truths(the left) are all about this ish.
@GadSaad When I first heard this I didn't really believe it. So we're just not going to have an objective reality? Give me a break. Sounds like a good way to excuse anything to me. Fuck that...
@GadSaad I’m confused — how is this a point of contention? What is the basis for objective truth, aside from physical phenomena that can be directly observed and measured? Beyond the physical, truth immediately becomes a probabilistic mix of human experience and judgement.
@GadSaad it is funny they study cultural marxism and look down on those who they believe do not understand it very smug but very wrong
@GadSaad A beautiful face that tells lies is one of the most dangerous weapons in the world.
@GadSaad Do they not believe in objective reality at all, or do they just not want you to?
