| | | Post-Modernist Dialectics: Bollocks on stilts?
There is an interesting article on post-modernist dialectical historiography here.
Does anybody understand post-modernism or deconstructionism - or are they pure bollocks on stilts?

| | ROFL! And since deconstruction is such utter drivel (IMO) you initially can't really tell that the article is generated, beautiful! 
I have an understanding of deconstruction/post modernism, and I have always found the stuff to be, as you phrase it, "bollocks on stilts"

| | "If one examines the neotextual paradigm of expression, one is faced with a choice: either accept capitalist libertarianism or conclude that culture is fundamentally elitist."
That's actually quite profound  |
