Postmodern Views Are Linked to Left-Wing Authoritarianism

The study found that strong endorsement of liberal postmodern beliefs - such as skepticism of absolute truths and emphasis on subjective experiences - was significantly associated with left-wing authoritarian tendencies.

This included support for progressive ideologies such as censorship and revolutionary measures to address social inequalities.

Notably, the research contrasted this contemporary form of postmodernism with earlier iterations from the 1960s and 1970s, which broadly rejected authority in all domains.
