People assume that postmodernism is an attempt by the left to weaponize rhetoric for their own ends. But the right has already weaponized rhetoric. Postmodernism is more like "defense against the dark arts". Yes, much of the work of e.g. Derrida sounds like long-form trolling, because it is. It's a form of culture jamming to disrupt the cognitive processes by which we accept things as "truth" or "reality".
