How skinny? Like Brevitas from dorkslapped? Would I have to be careful not to clothesline my throat on your protruding collar bone if I went in for a hug?

>Do you think Critical Theory is at all of value, then?
It's of value to the bourgeois and financial elite from a practical standpoint because it diverts and distorts serious anticapitalist discussion (pic related, the rotting carcass of our intellectual heritage.) There's a double bite in that anticapitalist-populist sentiment among cultural conservatives never links up to anticapitalist ideas because they're drowning in inane bullshit.
The method of critique is not itself of value to you as an intellectual if you acknowledge objectivity and empirical models with predictive capability, but as with many things it pays to understand it well and its landslide successes and the situation on the ground. How they took so many hearts and minds (and not firing from 200 yards.) Alt-right blogs are a good resource for that.
wsws.org is pretty consistently good, though it can sound like a broken record at times.
