The underdog-friendly narratives of the left are emotionally appealing, till they have to define words, assign meaning to things, deal with reality, identify causes and effects.
Their vague definitions of what constitutes capitalism, justice, oppression, exploitation and privilege fail them.
Without good definitions, they lack the ideological tools necessary to analyse events and actions consistently.
Reality is something they perpetually fight against, rather than improve. In fact, nothing might seem real to them at all. It's all a conspiracy, according to them. Since they can't assign meanings adequately, everything will start to have meaning for them.
And because of the lack of skill to identify causality, they will eventually get to a point where the truth will start to become whatever they feel to be. Feel strongly enough about something, and it will become the truth, according to them.
Whether this is a postmodern thing or something else, I don't know.
But it's a sad state of affairs for a person to be in.
