Postmodernist and Marxist narratives are self-defeating because they prioritize power or immediate gratification over the sacrificial structures that sustain human reality.

“the story that is being put forth as canonical is one of power. That's certainly the case for the mad Marxists and the French postmodernists fit into that category or hedonic self-gratification or nihilistic collapse. And all of those are selfdefeating. The proper story is one of sacrifice.”
