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?

And the peasant laughs, and the wife asks, "Why are you laughing, the Mongol just raped me until I shat myself."
And the peasant replies, "I didn't hold his testicles correctly, and now his balls are dusty."

*THE POINT IS TO CUT THE BALLS*

And the real Joke is that Žižek says this to a room full of ball holders, and he himself is holding the balls.

If you think this is simple language, then I feel sad for you son, 50 flavours of capitalism fit for human consumption none.

It's artistic flourish, they aren't writing math books.

But it's artistically horrible. Plato and Descartes and Schopenhauer are artistically nice too.

There isn't any
Their concepts are too simplistic to take up a full book otherwise though so they need to pull off such bullshit to appear smart which got them all the boys and girls they desired

You can't just come out and say "I want to fuck 12 year old boys up the ass." The pomo philosophers needed purple prose to disguse their perverted child-rape agenda.

The greeks won't help you understand this garbage. Only that it's completely wrong and useless.

one of these criticisms seems pretty valid to me, don't strawman OP, this is something that reasonable, curious anons are wondering about
