"Words can't be used to create meaning", says the postmodernist

Words can't be used to create meaning, right? That is what the postmodernist would say. Saying that "words can't be used to create meaning", is not only contradictory is itself; it allows people to twist the meaning of certain terms, such as freedom and justice. The motive of making such as statement is typically to shut down what others say, and replace it with the meaning one likes, rather than what is true.

This axiom explains why people these days are so sensitive towards words in general. They interpret the meaning of the word according to how they feel or believe it should be, rather than its true or intended meaning.
