Beware OP, Baudrillard is a LEFTIST! Don't ever read him, reading him made me become a TRANNY! And I will never pass because of my DEEP voice of French chain SMOKER! So now I am a SUICIDAL tranny because of Baudrillard! I beg you OP, don't read Baudrillard or you will become a TRANNY too! Maybe then we could kiss and kill ourselves TOGETHER! But you don't want to kiss me because you haven't Baudrillard YET! As soon as you'll read him you'll want to kiss TRANNIES! Thinking about this trannies' lips ALL DAY LONG! And that sweet tranny COCK too! And then you'll want to become a TRANNY too! Just like ME! Don't do it OP, the Western Civilisation depends entirely on YOU! Never read a book that cannot easily fit in a CASE, it means it's a TRANNY-TRANCE-INDUCING-BOOK! Trannies does not fit into cases either, that's why we want to kill OURSELVES! Because a coffin is just a big case, even for TRANNIES! Hear my plea OP, don't read Baudrillard, stay an heterosexual and fertile MAN! Do not become a cute and desirable TRANNY!

Perhaps proto-post-Left, considering he moved away from Marxism.

[Anonymous No.17850843]

He's French, i.e. verbose, worthless, and insufferable.

it's easy to co-opt the left's thinkers when they have ideological purity immune system hyperactivity for an ideology nobody ever believed more than like 5 years ago

Baudrillard is the only post modern philosopher that is actually relevant. I don't see how where he stands on the political spectrum would matter more than his ideas

[Anonymous No.17852112]

He appears to have attended Catholic sermons fairly regularly. I've heard his explication of law and rule but what has he said concretely about religion?

Would you have heard anything of his work had he stayed in academia?

[Anonymous No.17855198]

>>17854914
No, I probably wouldn't have, my point however was not that his shift to public speaking was bad, just that it happened. If anything i think its based, i cant imagine how faggy french academia was/is

it's from a review of the book 'Baudrillard and Theology'
>There are certainly indications in Baudrillard’s writings of an interest in religion and theological issues, but he did not use a theological vocabulary. When asked if he had a protestant or catholic background, he simply said ‘no background’. But then, there is photo of him aged ten in a religious context which appears catholic, and there are many references to catholic issues (the pope, even the local catholic priest’s sermons in the church at Leucate his summer retreat) throughout his writings. So Baudrillard attended church regularly? One presumes he was a catholic, and did come from a practising catholic family. But there is a lack of evidence, and no one has ever pushed this question with him in his many interviews. So it is possible as this book claims (no evidence is provided) that he was protestant. This claim does not feature as a central issue or become a dominant theme, but it does colour the interpretation here and there.
