Lūk, vēl viens saskata linku starp postmodernismu un notiekošo politikā. Var teikt, ka šobrīd tiek pļauts pirms daždesmit gadiem rietumu izglītības sistēmā sasētais.
Politics isn’t about sense, facts, or policy anymore.

...

The bad part is that the systematic mode is profoundly psychologically unnatural. For many people it seems dehumanizing, alienating, incomprehensible, senseless, meaningless, and utterly immoral. This has been obvious for a hundred years.

Undergraduate education explains the systematic structures of justification [4] which is why, I think, the new politics correlates so strongly with lack of a college degree.

The natural human alternative is the communal mode: unstructured, egalitarian, empathic, local, tribal, familiar, and comfortable. This mode—I’ve also called it “choiceless”—feels profoundly right. We evolved to live in such societies; they fit our psychology in a way systematic ones cannot.

...

4. Unfortunately, as I explained in a recent post, this is decreasingly true, due to obfuscatory postmodernism. This may be one reason for the rise of anti-systematic politics: even many of the college-educated now fail to understand the value of systematicity.

A varbūt vienkārši sistēma ir sūdīga, m?

The problem is, we currently have no workable alternative to systematicity. This makes anti-systematic politics entirely nihilistic. Occupy, the Tea Party, Leave, Trump, and Sanders endorse communal-mode values—quite rightly—but have no practical vision for how society could better support them. Even many of their supporters freely admit that their votes are simply against the systematic status quo, not for something better. Their attitude is “we want to end politics, because we always lose anyway.” This risks destroying the conditions for civilized life, in a rage that institutions are imperfect.

Viņš implicē, ka tāda sistēma, kāda pastāv šobrīd nav maināma un visi tie, kuri nav apmierināti ar status quo hipiji vai anarhisti or smth.

Teiksim, pirmsindustriālās Eiropas sabiedrība dzīvoja ļoti strukturētā sistēmiskā ordnungā, tajā pašā laikā viņiem bija arī komunalitāte un lokalitāte. Tās nav savstarpēji ekskluzīvas lietas.
