To be fair, I don't think Žižek and Jordan Peterson are postmodernists, just people aping postmodernism that the upper middle class like because it helps them pretend to have a higher class status to try to be less precarious and gain wealth and influence without actually abandoning their middle-class values. There's a nearly 100% correlation between liking faux postmodernists like this, and being a lousy prick who can't ever get what you want.
