Are we at the "defending the SS" stage of discourse? Just a bunch of guys, just doing their jobs... I recall there was some kind of trial involving th...

Huh. I'm suprised that people find the Gasché passages tough. They're quite clear! Let's try: And so on. Come on class, read slowly and with purpose!

There are people for whom philosophy is not appropriate. That's OK.

The classic statement of deconstruction - what it is and does - and how it relates to philosophy remains Rodolphe Gasché, from his The Tain of the Mir...

I'm sorry that you continue being unable to substantiate your claims which are otherwise baseless. Claims which I will continue to ask you to substant...

Where does this quote speak of external sources of truth, or their lackthereof? Why do you continue to make things up? Are you a skeptic?

Citation please. Citation please.

What proof can you provide that you are worth one moment of my effort?

Oh I'm sorry did the big words I use go over your head?

Says the dude calling for a ban after being asked to substantiate his claims. Uh huh.

Lol "Substantiate your points" "You should be banned!" I love it.

Sorry I couldn't hear you over your total inability to substantiate yourself.

It's a quote that has nothing to do with skepticism, and it's not from Derrida. But it's very cute that you know how to press search in Google.

I'm still waiting on my quote.

Whatever it takes for you to feel better about your ignorence.

I really don't understand why people who have never read a word of Derrida in their life like to talk about Derrida. It's the same impulse that teenag...

Miller is one of the foremost students of Derrida. He's not "pointing out the irony". He's repeating what Derrida himself has always claimed - that de...

Consider me a varietal.

No. I make no apologies for taking joy in dead Nazis and don't need to tip toe around the point. Not very politically correct I know, but the trick to...

Then those people are part of the problem.

It's true that I do not take arguing with bigots seriously. That of course, is the point. Them and their discourse ought to be mired in muck, bogged d...

Last I checked I was talking about what you said, not you. But perhaps as with Derrida, we can settle this the good old way: provide a quote which dem...

I'm sorry, I can try again. Your claim is false and a lie.

Fake news.

Sure. Deconstruction is a process of transcendental philosophy which aims to show, by immanent means, that the conditions of possibility of any identi...

I'm a stickler. Again, just one quote from Derrida about his supposed skepticism would be nice.

I don't need anyone to explain it to me because I know it very well. I just find it interesting that many who like to talk about deconstruction can't ...

Can anyone quote a passage or some passages of Derrida that substantiate the charge of skepticism?

I like when we murder Nazis. I don't like when we murder non-Nazis. I really thought I was quite unambigious about this.

I don't struggle with the concept. The concept is nonsensical and therefore there is nothing to struggle with. And last I checked I said I was pro bom...

Probably not. I'm not sure what it would mean to be a Nazi baby though.

No. Killing Nazis is a good. There is nothing controversial about this.

I liked it when we murdered Nazis by mass bombing that was a good time.

You think that's bad I had to wear one of these hats: https://www.shore.nsw.edu.au/images/UserUploadedImages/195/Singapore%20Invitation.jpg (I did not...

I call all my students morons but if they complain I tell them they are violating my free speech and fail them.

:heart:

I haven't been all that angry this thread. I've been quite jovial with my dealings with these poor victims of self-fantasy. They're mad because they'r...

Funny, the first person to have brought up the notion of 'Nazis' in this thread was none-other than the OP himself. No one, of course, had made any ac...

Yeah it's very hard to deal with all these people replying to me. A terrible burden.

That's OK! I'm having fun shitting on bigots and that's what's important.

I love the progression of this thread. It went from some piece of culture war trash to 'socialism bad'. These people aren't even trying. They just reg...

Nah racists and transphobes should be afraid of appearing in public for fear of perfectly justified grevious bodily harm. This would be a public good.

Lol "transactivists". These stupid people just going around... existing. Ugh, activism is out of hand.

Isn't it great. "If I can't be a vile bigot then I am being bullied waaaaaa groupthink".

The question is a meme, a culture-war piece of fluff. That it's invariably asked by insecure men is a matter of universal logical law, not psychology.

Dark? I'm having a blast making fun of losers whose index of social decay is no one answering questions when confronted on the street.

Should probably note that it's no surprise that this question - which is not even the OPs question but just another bit of culture-war trash picked up...

"Thought police are very bad. This is why we must actually rigorously police gender and bodies in real life. I will be very Opppreseddddd if I can't d...

To help clear up the poor confused OP just looking for answers and definitely not looking to be offended by thought-experiments to help kill trans peo...
