Liberalism or Post-Modernism?
Reader comment on item: The Harassing of Noam Chomsky
Submitted by Rob James (United States), Dec 25, 2005 at 23:46
It's true that liberals hate it when viewpoints outside their own receive a hearing, but I wonder if the primary reason why they hate us is isn't that, but because of the prevalence of Post-Modernism.Post-Modernism teaches that in many areas, the freedom of speech isn't the freedom to believe in anything, but enforced neutrality. "You can't believe in anything that might offend me.", and the like. That's what makes me so controversial with my relatives: I believe in objective truth.
