how much of what you know about postmodernism (in politics) is from reading these guys and how much is it just listening to their critics?
When I was in college everyone called I & I a postmodernist. It was mostly about cereal box design.

Nihilism doesn't call objective reality into question, only existential meaning

Again, I'm not pulling this out if my ass. Chomsky and many other critics raise the same point, and basic neutral overviews of the philosophy say something similar. At this point I'd think the onus is on you guys to cite something backing up your pov

Nihilism by definition would deny reality since muffukkin the Matrix means that there is no objective reality beyond maybe natural laws like gravity and the conservation of mass and energy.

Not that I'm acknowledging your point as having anything to do with what I said cause it didn't but maybe it had something to do with what something someone else said.

You seem to be confusing Nihilism for phenomenology.

Lucem, you're right, it's silly to talk about what I would or wouldn't do IRL. Glad you brought it up. Maybe you should write an instrumental about it. I recommend a piano paired with a clarinet. With ambient sounds of you hanging from your shower curtain you ****ing failure.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.

I mean nihilism denies anything that isn't provable. True nihilism would deny any scientific statement that wasn't axiomatic.
