Maybe, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the subject.
Which part of my critique of post-colonialism do you think had become obsolete?

>Therefore it is common for an adherent of post-colonialism to believe a statement is true if it was made by a person arbitrarily considered oppressed
This part. I'm not sure if it's because it's out of date or just plain wrong, though.
I could give your own post as an example https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43685383 , where you judged a statement as false due to the presumed location of the author in the power/knowledge spectrum.
But sorry, it's hard to discuss when you quote a single sentence from the few paragraphs i've written and say it's wrong, with nothing added. When adding to it your replies in previous discussions we had such as this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43705166
I feel you are overly emotionally attached to the subject and this is approaching troll/flame territory. It's not that I don't want to discuss with you, but I feel in our engagements a lot of aggression and very little actual passing of information except for short sentences, so let's end it right here
That isn't a response to what I was asking.
You just sent links to me without acknowledging the conversation we were having at all.
Very, very strange.
