Critical theory general

DISCUSS CRITICAL THEORY

Critical theory is a school of thought that stresses the examination and the critique of society and culture, by applying knowledge from the social sciences and the humanities.

As a term, critical theory has two meanings with different origins and histories: the first originated in sociology and the second originated in literary criticism, whereby it is used and applied as an umbrella term that can describe a theory founded upon critique; thus, the theorist Max Horkheimer described a theory as critical in so far as it seeks "to liberate human beings from the circumstances that enslave them."

Trannies don't lubricate OP

Recent example of lysenkoist marxist science

The drivers behind climate change denial look to be even more complex than we thought, with new research finding evidence of a "racial spillover" – in which racist attitudes have become linked with skepticism over climate change.

Im glad Baudrillard made the list. I hated how much disdain there was for him on this board while kampfy was in charge. Simulacra and simulation is a beautiful book and deserves the attention of all.

Baudrillard is one of my favorite theorists.

Thanks, havent seen that board so Ill skip on over. His beaubourg effect theorom made my brain tingle. And the biggest scrutiny I ever read from this board on his work was “ he just uses big words to sound intelligent”
And back then Zig Forums supported (probably pushed by kampfy) youtuber “computingforever”.
That ginger prick did a book review on it and it was the most debunkable, trash shit I ever saw.

That is a hell of a list of authors though man, have you read most of their stuff? I am in awe, what of all of them would you recommend the most?

A place for philosophical discussion of what's on most thinking minds.

We exist in a culture of narrative and media that increasingly, willfully combines agency-robbing fantasy mythos with instantaneous technological dissemination—a self-mutating proteum of semantics: the spectacle.

Well OP, if you are still about I have a question, I have been reading a fair bit if C.G Jung of late. I was recommended by another user here to read a tale of two friendships, a book not only on Jung but on Hermann Hesse, have you read any of Hesse’ books? Is he of a similar cut or is he some kind of crypto-jew?

I often wonder what the next theory or school of thought after post modernism will look like. Post-post modernism. The art they come up with is horrible by the way. Elites speaking to elites more or less.

They're not elites; they're fucking retarded. Actual elites are doing calculations to launch space probes or price derivatives I know, but banks recruit a lot of Ph.Ds. What they're not doing is sitting in circles and jerking each others' strap-ons to highly subjective complaints about tampon-based conspiracy theories, or deconstructing the precept that oxygen is vital to body chemistry.

They all speak in crazy, made-up terms that, if you're really gullible and slow, might sound deep and profound, but critical theory is just welfare for unusually stupid Jewish lesbians. Never forget that.

Post-modernism is cancer. I firmly believe that the social sciences CAN produce usable results but the way they are interpreted is disenguous. Social science should not make if-statements at all. Otherwise you end up with all the magical thinking that is now the norm there.

When you look at the beginnings of critical theory and the Frankfurt school, you'll quickly realize just how much the Jews butthurt over what they perceived as the choice between nigger culture capitalism, fascism that wanted them dead and communism that wanted them starved really influenced their work. They hated America but that did not keep them from living there just fine. Remind you of modern liberals? IT SHOULD.

If you can overtake the scientific method with critical theory, you can change society, science, and minds into your arbitrary outcomes. Scientific method lies on objective truth and testable results. Critical theory says, subjectively from society I want X to be true. We have already seen objectivity labeled as colonialist and white. The coincidences have long been statistically impossible to have occurred without external influence.

My theory is this:
There are two polarities of energy, or two principles, yin and yang, male and female, etc etc
Aryans are of the masculine principle, strong, active, creative, straightforward, honorable, honest
jews are feminine principle, weak, passive, template following, manipulative, deceitful, constant liars

In terms of OP subject, critical theory is the jew's feminine nature on display for all to see:
Nagging with no solution just criticism, including criticism of any proposed solution to subject of original nagging
Critical theory is bitches nagging without end with the intent to destroy because the feminine cannot create

With that in mind, always remember that you can never satisfy a nagging woman, as soon as one issue is resolved she will start nagging about something else, it never ends.
Same with critical theory, they will never stop pushing, so NEVER GIVE THEM AN INCH, jews, leftists or women because there is no compromising with these people, they have no honor.
Give them nothing and take from them everything.

But you repeat yourself. If you give them nothing, you will have taken from them everything. They cannot procure anything through their own ideas and power, they cannot use critical theory to raise food from the earth or shape metal into useful, productive forms.

Critical theory and its related works are the how-to guides for fraud and mind control. You cannot defraud nature, and you cannot control the anvil's mind. They are the tools of evil and, by their essence, cannot be used for good.

Because that's how commies did.

First of all, i cant fucking believe this thread.
Zig Forums has devolved into a glory hole for a bunch of faggots to jack each other off while conducting a kike book club.

no! do NOT read any of the garbage brain poison books in this thread. it's all kike and Marxist subversion. it's also a waste of your time. which is exactly what The Jew does in his ivory tower of lies.

i have read Foucault. everything he said was meaningless, and a floral costume ball to appear "intellectual."

you faggots need to put down that Critical Theory Soylent, and stop washing the Post Structuralist dick of your wife's boyfriend, and instead feed your minds with real raw meat.

As Hitler wrote, only a movement built upon a new World-Concept can ever win.

Critical Theory is just another Jew word for MARXISM. It creates nothing new, it only endlessly devours the past by "reinterpreting" all of history but it offers no replacement! it merely cannibalizes your history as invalid without proposing anything new. and then it subdivides and conquers itself into countless "schools of thought."

meanwhile the Jew takes advantage of your distraction to pick your pocket!

Foucault died from AIDS because he was a Marxist cocksucking degenerate who built his entire "philosophy" because he couldn't accept that he was an incurably defective subhuman who should have been gassed as mercy.

read these screencaps of what Hitler said about his World-Concept.

clearly Critical Theory represents everything that is against what Hitler wrote.

Any philosophy that dishonors your ancestors while immobilizing you in the quicksand of "doubt-everything" and which shows you no path forward, because by destroying the past, Marxism always destroys the possibility of any future, and locks you into the permanent stasis of the charlatan Hegel's "End of History."

every single book about Critical Theory should be burned like it's 1933.

This is what Nietzsche described as the slave revolt in morality. It comes from Judaism (that should be obvious to anyone that's ever studied the Bible as a historical document). Christianity, was an inversion of Roman values–a Jewish subversion, a slave revolt–Marxism also conforms to this model with it's imaginary oppression of the proletariat by the bourgeois.

"We today must recognize that the Jew was not interested in competing with the great ideas and personalities of our intellectual world, but rather that for him those intellectual labors were nothing but a political tool that he could use as a lever of spiritual destruction on the peoples he intended to rule. Spinoza is a classic example. He used the thought of Decartes and Giordano Brumo in a way that completely changed its original sense. Leading Jews have done the same with the thinking of other great Europeans; they pretended to be the real proponents of these ideas and were nonetheless greatest liars. Remember how Karl Marx falsified the German conception of socialism as a natural order of life, based deeply in German blood, and turned into the phantom of the dictatorship of the proletariat. This doctrine so deeply mirrored the nature of its Jewish inventor that the world knew only to connect it to his name: “Marxism.”"[1]

Strong post.

I haven't read a lot of Critical Theory, only snippets here and there, however it mostly delves in criticizing European societies and cultures by labelling them xenophobic and authoritarian in the 1960s. This was mostly because the first Critical Theory theorists were mostly Jewish intellectuals who were persecuted in Germany and elsewhere and had to relocate to the US to publish their work. Though I admit that many of these intellectuals were smart, high IQ and intelligent, many of them pursued this World-Concept ideology which was really a sort of reworking of the original Marxism concept of bourgeoisie versus working class to the modern dichotomy of the oppressor versus the oppressed classes, e.g. white males versus feminists, LGBT, fat rights advocates, etc… They only use the word "World" to try and associate their ideology with something humane, liberating, etc.. and anyone who disagrees with it is somewhat against human rights in the third world, a fascist or some sort of anti-disabled lesbian mestizo attack helicopter. All in all, their ideology dictates to root out all forms of oppression and authority which is strange because in order to have a stable and well-functioning society there needs to be some sort of national security apparatus put in place to serve and protect its citizens from harm and to punish criminals and wrongdoers. Ultimately, after deconstructing and devaluing the evolution and history of European societies and cultures, the critical theorist exists within his spiritual nothingness, omnipresent nihilism whilst they chastise those Europeans seeking to rebuild their countries into strong knit communities torn by subversive progressive propaganda. This is merely the practical consequence of their idealistic visions for society.

Haven't read a better summary of critical theory than this. Thanks man.

No.

Critical theory is post modern retardation for chronic inebriates and assholes

do people actually take him seriously? i thought of him as a meme.

what a bunch of horseshit. That image is cautionary tale of what happens to imbeciles when they fall into the black hole of postmodern thought matrices. There is no truth, so there are no walls, no floors, no light, and no air. You could wander aimlessly through that pitch black maze for a lifetime with the only result being you use complicated language to disguise the reality that you're no longer capable of substantive thought processing or objective analysis.

that's because he is. The liberal are like Howard Stern, they love to force us to wade through the rantings of lunatics with speech impediments.

There isn't an academic alive today that understands hegel. All you know about hegel is derived from opinions about hegel that they themselves got second hand from marx.

critical theory is demoralization

Same with Derrida. I read "through the blinds: a derrida reader" and it was obvious that the guy was using overly pedantic language to hide infantile and simplistic ideas. Neitzsche killed philosophy, and all these post modern "philosophers" that came after him are just more evidence of that reality.

typical post modern faggotry. Here, let me help you with your retard post-
See how easy that was? You faggots hide simplistic thoughts in pedantic language and you consider yourselves to be geniuses because it takes you a paragraph to say what should take three words.

No… that's not really what he said at all. In fact the irony of the left using Foucault is that Foucault talked at length about how liberals would eventually evolve into a oppressive force. He termed the modern political paradigm as 'biopower', claiming that modern power was predicated by the ability of the governing class to supply citizenry with the means to the type of life they had a right to. The state justified its existence by ensuring that people had access to to the type of life that they had a 'right' to. This contrasted sharply with previous systems that justified their power by their ability to deprive you of your rights. I.e., the king is king because he can kill you. The irony in the left championing Foucault is that they seem to be unaware of his predictions on the nature of biopower. Eventually he said biopower narrative would grow to become oppressive. The state that legitimized its existence by providing rights for people would eventually provide those rights even when people didn't want them! Eventually the state would force people to live a life that they may or may not even be aware they needed to live. If this doesn't sound eerily similar to the kind of world Google/Hillary want to build, then well…

TBH, they picked up most of what they got from Saussure, who picked it up from Indian sources (like Bhartrihari and Nagarjuna). Most of his ideas are not that original, but his writings on language influenced practically everybody.

Critical theory is cancer in every sense of the word

Anime is not an artform.

Though I'm not read enough on critical theory to throw the statement directly out the window, wouldn't humans merely escape from one binding circumstance to another in order to gain power for themselves in the name of liberation? If you know anything about the cycles of pain in older religions like hinduism and the cycles of material greed like in sikhism and buddhism, they always imply that man is forever a slave until they willingly let go of seeking power and become enlightened (thus becoming powerful). Any power gained from being a slave is always at the expense of someone else, that's why buddhism goes full on "abandon all of your humanity and suffer" at times.

"We use the minorities as a weapon against the majority to destabilize civilization via subverting and uprooting tradition and hierarchy to the point that (((communist))) revolution, aka absolute (((capitalist))) totalitarianism, is completely viable."

Hmm… that fourth image sure is interesting. What I'm gathering from it is we should make games based in Egypt, Asia, and South America and have strictly European whites because fuck "historical accuracy"

If any of you wanna read about a sick cultural Marxist kike, read about Wilhelm Reich

Indeed, and I have often found it hilarious when self-described marxists think that the thoughts of Nietzsche are of any support to their cause. They either understand little of his work or do not see the full repercussions of his ideas.

You know what's really the funniest thing about relativism? Since there's no such thing as objective physical properties that connotate morality, there's nothing wrong with disposing of degenerates and enemies of the Reich.

It all come down to who will succeed in warfare. Leftypol should beware when their own "post-modernist" ideas, which they thought would destroy morality and hence western civilization, only end up creating nihilistic National Socialists who will do absolutely anything to achieve the 1488. The only values that sort of person has is only out of disgust for the degeneration and a preference for the conservative way of life. When I say conservative, it means something to me that doesn't mean what it may to many, to me it's more of a just a realist approach to observing patterns of things, such as civilization and ones own behavior from a purely functionalist perspective. Either some things are healthy and work or they don't. The funny thing though is if these patterns are derived from what naturally occurs in reality, then it could be said to be derived in an objective way. So maybe nihilism wouldn't be the word, just an uncucked (non-Abrahamic) definition and sense of something similar to a "morality".

Ambigous. Reich was politically to the left, but he also provided incredibly important tools for the liberation of man, e.g. the de-armouring work (something any aspiring übermensch has to do) or the research on orgone (don't believe kike pseudo-scientists). Some people cannot be pigeonholed that easily.
