Can someone explain to me why the postmodern/critical theorist type philosophers need to write in obscurantist language. Can someone give me an example of a sentence that these obscurantist philosophers wrote that can’t possibly be written in simple terms and be understood?

Any there any analytical books that destroy these continental theory types? Their entire shtick is making something obvious difficult to understand to obfuscate the lack of substance. As Foucault (partially one of their own) said "Michel Foucault once characterized Derrida's prose style to me as "obscurantisme terroriste." The text is written so obscurely that you can't figure out exactly what the thesis is (hence "obscurantisme") and when one criticizes it, the author says, "Vous m'avez mal compris; vous êtes idiot' (hence "terroriste")"

Anybody else refuses to read these midwit pedophiles?

were they neo-libs?

were they neo-liberals?
