The postmodern deconstruction leads directly to the death of our humanity — the rise of totalitarianism, either of Orwellian variety or the more benign Skinnerian variety.
Wow, I read Orwell's 1984 in the 1970's, and now revisiting the novel, I'm shocked by how pervasive today's media is filled with "doublethink"! I see figures speak or commit acts without any accountability, or that might makes right and there is no such thing as morality. Then, in practically the next sentence, they appeal to morality to accuse political opponents of the acts they are perpetrating. Sadly. in the USA, The lowest morally vicious act is the expected norm, so political figures can say and do anything and claim that they are the purest paragon of virtue.
