> modernism is clearly wrong and serves only to mislead and enslave via narrative control

No, it shows something completely different: modernism is merely subjective, just like anything else. I wholeheartedly agree with the subjectivity part of post-modernism, but I don't see how it contradicts or disproves the modernist concepts; if anything, it only strengthens the objectivits approach, where each person or a collective is assumed to act out of his own, subjective, self-interest.

The only thing it destroys is utilitiarian "universal" ethical system, which is completely deserved.
