Reply #16: Yes, the word is terribly abused [View All]

I'm a libertarian leftist and i am sold out as language has betrayed me.

If i say libertarian on this board, i get a thousand knee jerk comments
that actually are complaints about "liberals", and when we use "liberal"
people think it means libertarian... probably because the first 5 letters
are the same.

But who is educated enough to know the difference, and that small few
persons is just "an opinion" as bush frames it, misinterpreting the
postmodern to betray the country to be permanently modern (which is the
same as permanently classic liberal).

And postmodernism, the evolution that is inseparable from culture and
life, is being stamped out by ignorance, and is left in a few temples
in and out the country, fewer and fewer in, back to modernism for
another crusade... a society of great myths == metanarratives.

If postmodernism is the death of the metanarrative, then it has happened
only in theory.
