Reading Cynical Theories to "better understand" pomo or CRT, or whatever b/c the original sources are "ideologically suspect" is among the laziest most intellectually dishonest things I can think of
It& #39;s like reading a creationist critique of Darwin to "understand" evolution because you think Darwin can& #39;t be trusted to explain his own theory
People who read this book nodding their heads along are basically paying to have an ideological ally hate-read something for them & then regurgitate a Conservapedia version of the material so that they can turn around & pretend they& #39;ve been fair & intellectually curious
It& #39;s bad faith through & through - it& #39;s the complete abandonment of thought under the guise of being a critical thinker. The whole point of reading the source material is to think about & critically assess it. It ain& #39;t fucking scripture
Just admit you& #39;re not up to doing the philosophical work, quit pretending you& #39;re some free thinker & not just another petty ideologue, & get out of here with the cheap veneer of intellectual respectability you& #39;ve pasted over your own prejudices.
Goddam I& #39;m tired of these people
