As some anon pointed out already, it has to do with postmodernism, which is quite the meme cause for today's intellectual issues if you think about it, so lets say that this anon is partially right because a meme poster is always partially right. The point is that one of the most important cultural bagages that comes with postmodernism is that of blurrying: lines become less and less clear, as some anon posted itt too. The method is the one I stated on my previous post: that of extremism. I'm sure that you, as 4chan users, are quite into politics like it or not thanks to /pol/ taking what used to be /b/'s lead as the most famous of boards/the one with more media repercussion/the one the normies tend to engage the most. What has this to do with what I'm trying to say is that what I said also happens on politics, but on stereoids. Politics is THE field of extreme ideologies nowadays as the postmodernist think-tank aims directly at it, making things extreme everywhere and in doing so, blurrying. The act of blurrying comes in intellectual tradition too. You only have to look at two things: the current state of academia and these various intellectual pop figures that have emerged with the tide, as Jordan B. Peterson as the foremost example. He's an academic, not an intellectual. He's even more of a couch than he is an intellectual. To realise this, you only have to watch as he maintains control when he speaks of anything psycology related and how he loses it when he starts with his "philosophy", his buzzword postmodernism, etc. Again, academic but not intellectual. Žižek is a great example of someone leaning much more towards being an intellectual than an academic, even so if he's quite a pop figure too. Other great field of blurrying comes at sexuality. Nothing is what it used to be anymore. There are no limits (extremism-blurryingism). If you are a male and want to be female or viceversa, what is stopping you for doing so? This stance is quite interesting because I want to state two points: the first is that the so called gender revolution is one in the same with postmodernism, being part of the postmodernist think-tank or bagage. The second is how this branch of postmodernism accomplises one thing, which is defying nature. Nature is no longer sacred and Mankind has taken control over it at last. Postmodernism encourages in doing so. Nature is what we say what's nature. Nature is to be defied.

I'm going to stop know knowing that I have accomplised nothing but an outline of my thoughts, which may or may not be interesting to read or even well funded. I hope you enjoy.

I don't think so.
