any "theory" person from the frankfurt school or beyond. It's all unintelligible garbage or, when they are actually making a point, weak tea.
Marx and Freud and people like that could think clearly, however wrong they might have been. Lacan gets a pass bc his ideas are interesting, once you finish understanding them. And he was very, very widely read, in a zany, interesting, 70s Europe kind of way. He's like a terribly deliberate fake sound effect in a white satin suit. Fantasy Island. But porkheimer and Adorno and Deleuze etc. are so fucking boring. And Felix and Guattarri have no actual ideas, no insight to speak of. And Foucault is just a fucking dicksucking AIDs faggot who is obsessed with power.
Also, I have never enjoyed Shakespeare. It's too old; language and thought have changed too much.

They get a pass because they're american or Jews and appealed to a very interested cohort of wasps or jews that failed to reproduce. No external appeal

don't be so defensive... if you like something, if you defend it too much, it's like you feel like your love isn't legitimate.
Just say what you like it and why. You don't need to help them fight you.

So he was lucky enough to write at a time that the language was more malleable. Do you really think the staying power of his words is attributable to some inner genius? Says nothing as to his actual merits. By that logic black people and their patois are 100x Shakespeare. I will own that, given how fluid the language was, he managed to settle into the contours of their thought like an old shoe. So you have plenty of good turns of phrase. But a list of new words is pedantic coin collecting nonsense.
