The evil of deconstruction. By Brivael Le Pogam.
Deconstruction is the most effective mental virus ever devised against a civilization. It was manufactured in France between 1966 and 1980 by three men: Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze. It was exported to the United States, hybridized with American racial puritanism, and returned thirty years later under the name of wokism to paralyze the entire West. …
Denies the existence of truth:
The thesis is simple. Every truth is nothing but a disguised power relation. Every sacred text, every law, every science, every norm, every hierarchy, every identity, every institution actually conceals a domination. To deconstruct is to reveal the power dynamic beneath the veneer of truth….
It doesn’t just say “let’s question norms”; it says “there is *only* power relations.” The difference is civilizational.
Destroys civilization:
A society that questions its norms remains standing. A society that believes its norms are *nothing but* domination collapses. Because it can no longer defend anything. No more borders, no more laws, no more science, no more language, no more history, no more biology, no more family. Everything becomes suspect. Everything becomes negotiable. Everything becomes “constructed therefore deconstructible.” …
Science is patriarchal, so let’s deconstruct it. Language is colonial, so let’s reinvent it. Meritocracy is racist, so let’s abolish it. Sex is a construction, so let’s choose it. There is no more bedrock. Everything is sand. …
Tails I win, heads you lose:
The virus is *non-falsifiable*. If you defend a norm, it’s because you’re the oppressor. If you deny being an oppressor, that’s proof of your unconscious privilege. If you cite facts, your facts are contaminated by the power that produced them. If you cite reason, reason itself is white, male, Western. There is no possible exit. The system is designed to make any objection inadmissible by definition.
A destructive cult that cannot build:
That’s exactly the structure of a cult. And that’s exactly what has taken hold in universities, HR departments, media, administrations, and corporate boards for the past twenty years. …
An entire generation has learned to deconstruct and never learned to build. It knows how to suspect, never to admire. It sees power everywhere and beauty nowhere. It can produce a thousand pages on the oppressive nature of Shakespeare and zero lines worth reading in a hundred years. It has confused critical intelligence with critical posturing. It is sterile by construction. A mind fed on deconstruction is a mind that no longer knows how to build anything. …
So don’t give it power:
The good news is that a mental virus only survives as long as we cede it authority over discourse. It dies the moment we stop playing its game. The moment we quietly reaffirm that there exists a truth, a beauty, a good, an inheritance. The moment we stop asking permission from the deconstructors to build. The moment we remake. The moment we pass on. The moment we create.
Builders have always had the last word over commentators. Always. Because in the end, what remains is what has been built, and nothing of what has been deconstructed.
