More fun with POMO

Something needed to be BRAND NEW in pomo and a specialized vocabulary
could contribute to such novelty. Otherwise the idea that things are so
merely because the bosses have deemed it true was all too familiarly the
traditional wisdom of the great unwashed hoi-polloi, who had been
entertaining such irreverences from time immemorial. But can't take this
slightly embarrassing sameness too far because doesn't pomo including
Marxian pomo have in spite of itself a deep moral underpinning of justice
for all, as a veritable absolute, quite unsupportable under the new
theory, which the great unwashed doesn't bother with on its less exalted
agenda?
