>the postmodernists performed a sleight-of-hand after realising that they couldn't be marxists anymore and so they replaced class struggle with identity politics!
Regardless of the fact that identifying an oppressor/oppressed struggle in society isn't the only prerequisite for being a Marxist and that Marxism still had a large political presence in the time of the postmodernists, doesn't Peterson realise how absurd he sounds when he says this shit? What would even be the motivation for postmodern philosophers to replace class struggle with identity struggle? Is there some element in conflict theory that helps promulgate some ulterior goal the postmodernists have? If so, what is that goal? The destruction of the west, presumably; so is a corollary of that that any conflict theory, be it Marxism or intersectionality, is part of a larger plot to bring down western civilisation rather than a genuine caring for those disaffected groups?

Is he implying the Jews?
