Does Ryan Chapman Understand Postmodernism?

What is Postmodernism Debunked

Postmodern philosophy is often misunderstood, partially because it is very nuanced, partially because they appear deliberately obscure, but often because people do not fully understand the presuppositions that postmodernists rely on, nor do they understand the critique of modernity.

In this video, I react to a video by Youtuber Ryan Chapman called “What is Postmodernism?” Chapman attempts to explain postmodernism and show its secret links to so-called Leftist identity politics.

I have also provided a plethora of citations, including the one’s Chapman uses in his video, but doesn’t provide.
