post-modernism is not taking "things are just like that" as an answer and trying to understand what made it to be what it is. that's why everything is a construct for them. how is this subverting muh indefinable while maintaining exclusivity western values?
this method of pure skepticism is the leading cause to a lot of the significant modern discoveries like quantum mechanics and spacetime. physicists didn't take newton's "it's just like that" as an answer, instead they hypothesized mechanisms, observed and made links to understand that there is a higher reality and water flowing above newton's head
however because of the french faggotery many postmodernists believe that a construct is somehow less important and can be changed easily when in fact a construct is way more stubborn than an essential. sex and other social rules being a construct doesn't mean you can just jump right in and start changing shit. trannies are only accepted today because of good will and empathy but they still don't fit in the system and that's why they are buttblasted about everything.
humans constructs are less like a building and more like an interconnected net with no base or center, that's why it's almost impossible to change.

>Badiou declared Deleuze an “enemy of the people” and penned several anti-Deleuze articles. Under the psuedonym “Georges Peyol”, Badiou penned “The Fascism of the Potato,” because if I know anything about resisting fascism, it usually involves declaring enemies of the people and creating a cult of personality around yourself Speaking of fascism, Badiou and his gang of merry Maoist decided to stage invasions of Deleuze’s class room. At the height of the conflict, Badious “men” would prevent Deleuze from finishing his seminar, he would put his hat back on to his head to indicate surrender. Badiou himself would occasionally turn up at Deleuze’s seminar to interrupt him, as he admits in the book he wrote on Deleuze in 1997. Badiou, who is still totally not a fascist, created brigades to “monitor the political content of other classes in the philosophy department.” Deleuze responded to most interventions calmly, and would avoid conflict even when “groups of up to a dozen people bent on picking a fight would show up.” Sometimes these brigades would show up with copies of Nietzsche to ask trick questions in an effort to embarrass Deleuze. And when that didn’t work: Often the “brigade” would end up imposing the “Peoples Rule,” commanding the student to quit Deleuze’s classroom on the pretext of a meeting in Lecture Hall 1 or a rally in support of a workers’ struggle. Deleuze reacted calmly, pretending to agree with them and retaliating with irony. And when that also didn’t work: Only once did [Deleuze] get angry, when he found on his desk a tract by a “death squad” advocating suicide.”
that's so fucking based

Gilles Deleuze was not a military man, in fact, he was one of those unwashed counterculture types, nonetheless, his spaced out acid ramblings are studied by IDF officers. Cool buzzwords like 'nomads', 'rhizomes'. 'warmachines', 'smooth and striated spaces' can give your military theory that fancy continental gloss.
