The Leftist Philosophy That’s Even Older Than Joe Biden

Don’t be fooled: postmodernism is the oldest, lamest trick in the book.

If you’ve been punishing yourself by following the rare public statements of Joe Biden (those few of them coherent enough to be “followed”), you may have noticed an intriguing emphasis on such words as truth and transparency. “The American people deserve transparency from their leaders,” said Biden after releasing his tax returns. And again: “it’s about electing leaders who tell the truth,” he said after Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson endorsed his candidacy.

If you are wondering how Joe can talk about such things as “transparency” when he has spent a good chunk of this month simply refusing to talk to the public, you are not alone. What does it even mean to “tell the truth” if you’re not speaking to anybody after 10 A.M.?
