Are the Warhammer books worth reading or are they really bad?

There is one way to get back the ease of modernism and escape the agony of partial validity, it's to stop following intellectual pursuits, to stop learning and simply accept simple things like love and friendship.
Leave the endless destruction and rebuilding of methods, theories, and sciences to the best intellectuals of your time, and live your life according to the simple principles that steer the majority instead.

Every day you walk into people who aren't corrupted by theory, they aren't clouded, they don't move between conceptualized systems, unable to look without.

You'll still feel the agony of a soul depleted of learning, but in return you'll be the closest to a truth you'll ever get, and that in itself is the greatest achievement a man can have.
The greatest truth to life is that there isn't any, but while sitting down and enjoying a summer night's weather with your loved ones, I assure you that that will be the last thing you think about.

You should have just asked me in my own thread where I made my argument and I would've given you the answer.

What bias are you talking about? I'm not politically affiliated, I'm a Christian-Existentialist very much like Jordan Peterson.
If we are going to criticize something we disagree with, let's at least know what the people we criticize believe and where those believes positions themselves in the world.
And most of all, let's not twist and simplify facts to our own hands, Jordan Peterson most of all would avow that statement, since he believes in truth and honesty.

Marxism is purely modernist, with a systematic, materialist theory of inevitable historical development.
Marxism makes strong claims, has a moral agenda, and are more than willing to construct conceptual systems.
Lastly postmodernists are playful and nihilistic, often somewhere in the middle of both, would you say that modern Marxists, feminists, or the Black Lives Matter movement have playful aspects and nihilistic attitudes?

Jordan Peterson is fundamentally wrong about postmodernism, and his followers would greatly benefit from reading some postmodernists, even from reading some simple postmodernist literature like Vonnegut.
Postmodernism is not an ideology, but a lack thereof, it's the corrective to the naïveté that everything can be explained, so any coherent ideology is therefore by default not postmodernist.
Faux-controversial movements like internet feminists are rejecting gender and whatnot because the postmodernist age can no longer prove the Darwinian-Bateman paradigm as rigid.
Feminism simply substitutes this lack of scientific structure by casting out an even bigger net of coherent ideas, by clinging to personal favorites, not by rejecting them as a postmodernist would.

We can begin by at least admitting that Marxism has understandable grievances, and that Marx himself has contributed to modern economics and not entirely reject his contributions to the works of Vellen, Robinson, Shumpter, Sweezy, and Keynes.
Let's also stop pretending like Marx fundamentally rejects capitalism and its best economists, Marx was a big supporter of Adam Smith and David Ricardo.
