A pejorative term, modeled on “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” describing an obsessive, irrational hostility toward postmodernism, poststructuralism, or any philosophy associated with questioning grand narratives, objective truth, or stable meaning. Sufferers see postmodernism as the root of all perceived cultural decay: relativism, political correctness, science denial, and the erosion of Western values. They attack caricatures of postmodern thought (“nothing is true,” “everything is a social construct”) rather than engaging actual arguments. The syndrome is marked by a refusal to distinguish between different thinkers (Derrida, Foucault, Lyotard are lumped together) and a tendency to blame “postmodernism” for any intellectual trend they dislike.
