Excellent overview

Parents seeking a sane, well-rounded academic environment for their high school graduate son or daughter would do well to follow the admonitions outlined in this book, which examines the causes of “wokeness” in present society. Have your child major in STEM subjects; or let them attend a technical college. At all costs, shun humanities studies as the colleges and universities receiving financial aid from the government are forced to tow the postmodernist line.

Origins and Evolution of Postmodernism

Cool pocket guide by the Atlas Society with a clear and talented narrator.

If we go back in time, the purpose of collectivism was to help "the people", These "people" never asked for the help and in many cases were not aware they were the "people". So in France in 1789, the Bastille was stormed to help "the people," but there were no "people" in the Bastille to save. Just 5 con-artists, an insane person who's family paid for the stay, and an assassin. No worries for the "revolutionaries", the Bastille attack still justified the murder of the guards, mass murder of people they envied, and genocide of people they could not convince. The king was replaced with a kleptocrat, war-lord Emperor that caused the death of millions in Europe.

This book explores the origins and evolution of Friedrich Nietzsche's tarantulas that say they want "justice" but really want "revenge". How the tarantulas spread in Europe and how they got to America. The Postmodernists can't accomplish any of their goals to "fix" society, so they want to destroy society. "If I can't fix it, I can destroy it. They can't argue with real words, so they make new words. They can't defend their system and the outcomes, so they focus on utopian, child-like arguments that attack science, civilization, and obvious facts.
