I know this threads been done 1000 times before but I’m 150 pages in. When does it start making sense?

Oh son. Oh my poor poor son.

D&G are speaking Bantistani, and you appear to be a seppo. I'd suggest you learn Bantistani by entering into a language immersion sexual relationship with an Australian, a working class pom, and a scotsman. The Australian can speak Marx. The Pom can speak Freud. And the Scotsman can speak structuralism.

Maybe then you can understand what bantsmen D&G are, after you've been fucked three ways to sunday by people who use "cunt" as a universal noun/verb.

you need to smoke a lot of weed and listen to Coil, Autechre, Bach, and Coltrane to get it.

this post shouldn't be ignored. There is a fundamental level of trolling and tomfoolery they're doing with this book (that they scale back and get more serious about in ATP), it's important for its interpretation.

You could read Plato, Spinoza, Hegel, Nietzsche, Marx, Freud, Bergson, Bataille, and Artaud, or you could do exactly what this poster says. It's probably safer to go with the latter.

I like the weirdo prose style because it keeps it interesting and usually I feel like they scale it back and sum up the chapter pretty well in the final paragraphs. But like I’ll be thinking I’m understanding something but then they’ll just say something that completely breaks down what a thought I was understanding. I assume this is intentional. But why? Is it because it gets their post structuralist dicks hard when something that ordered and built, like understanding the book, gets smashed?

Also I was wondering, do you think they had a coherent understanding of what they were writing about or was it more just like a constant free form jazz improv around a certain idea of Oedipalizations.

You need to start from the beginning, of the first few pages don't make sense to you, you need to read better or fill in background.
I have a lot with Marx and Lacan those probably help the most.
>>19067079
Baudrillard, early Levinas, Althusser, and Foucault are all substantially easier to understand page to page.

Go back, reread, and see if the new idea makes more sense than the old one. It is also very plausible to me given their themes of interest, in rhizomes plurality and multiplicity that they intentionally cultivate interpretational indecision. This is also a principal objective of Derrida's commentary.
