there is nothing to understand it is just obscurantism written to look deep stop reading postmodern neo marxists and pick up the bible.

your proffesor is a bit of dick to make you jump into ss

read debord first

Just get what you need from the text and bounce. Cite some of the basic ideas and maybe one specific point of discussion that sticks out to you. It is not a text that rewards thorough reading.

You can start by watching this video of that based youtube channel that explain a lot about Baudrillard theories.

Watch the other videos if you find it interesting, it is really quality content.

oh great i though this was actually an anon being helpful for once

Who do you think would call his own youtube channel "cuck philoshophy" seriously ?
If you stop being interested in something because of the name it has you don't deserve to have knowledge.

i mean i watched it anyway and learned a lot about American Psycho and how it can be read as fitting the postmodernist hierarchy of objects/signs that he talks about but it didn’t help too much with the actual text which is more of what i was looking for.

my reaction to the name was because of the associations (for me at least) the word cuck has in this day and age and that is, wait for it, 4chan. i guess it’s nice to have someone probably a little closer to my intellectual level (pseud) explain there take but as i just said I was hoping for a more authoritative discussion on the text

the man literally provides citation lists for his videos, he's /lit/ af

Ah yes, you are right actually I must admit I kind of overlooked your main concern for having the opportunity to share this great channel.
There is still more talk about Baudrillard on this channel but I am afraid would not be able to point out wich video precisely.

I just read it, myself. I'll go out on a limb here and say it: this book could have been written somewhat more clearly.

>>12445592
i mean i did enjoy the video, especially because some friends and I were discussing the movie last night!

I also just kept reading and got the the part that is relevant to my project. its pretty interesting, i'll post it right after this one in case anyone wants to read it (its about information, meaning and the media).

>>12445627
agreed. some chapters are better than others

A few paragraphs into the one about the animals and I thought it was going to be empty garbage but it was one of my favorite ones.

Throughout reading it, I wondered how much was the fault of the translator that the author seems to talk like an asshole who doesn't want you to understand what he is on about. We may never know.

the problem is that he legitimately enjoys the humiliation of other men taking his woman and is trying to "reclaim" the term, much like how other leftards do to words
