Postmodernism: there is no truth. Truth is relative to observer.

I have asked those who adhere to this if that applies to Postmodernism itself. I get a huh look in response. I mean, if truth is relative, then isn't the belief that all truth is relative, relative itself?

If there is no truth, then is there no truth in the statement or belief that there is no truth?

Some say that this is “extreme relativism.”

But how can one define “extreme” under postmodern relativism?

Postmodernism appears to be simply a convoluted way to provide liars with a way to think they can get away with lying.
