How does a major modernist poet, such as [[T.S. Eliot]] fit in to what is said in this article? In fact a number of modernists, poets especially, were of the right politically. --[[User:Jackin the box|Jackin the box]] ([[User talk:Jackin the box|talk]]) 19:31, February 4, 2022 (EST)

Morning [[User:Northwest|Northwest]]. The word “outdated” doesn’t sound right. This is not a matter of ideology but language, unless you believe that Beethoven, Shakespeare, and Eliot’s “The Wasteland” are outdated. Though modernism does appear to be largely a progressive, or liberal movement, there were prominent modernists who were conservative Christians – T. S. Eliot is one obvious example. Re postmodernism it can be described as wrong, but it exists now, not in the past. In literature, techniques like [[stream of consciousness]] are still in date, whatever your politics. Likewise do philosophical ideas, works of art, or music become outdated? Neither you, nor RobS seem to know much about this topic. I suggest that if you want to make intelligent conservative edits here that you research “conservative critics of modernism”. See, for example, < https://kansaspress.ku.edu/978-0-7006-0873-7.html>. This article is superficial and adding weasel words doesn't't help. --[[User:Jackin the box|Jackin the box]] ([[User talk:Jackin the box|talk]]) 09:21, May 9, 2022 (EDT)
