Can someone give me clear "insights" from modern continental philosophy? Or Nietzche?

It seems to me that all of it is intentionally vague, makes unfalsifiable claims about important sounding issues (economy, capitalism, society, how to live life) while aggresively trying to seem the most authoritative mode of thought, intentionally obscurantist to hide its flaws and fundamental assumptions, and is ranked mainly on self perpetuating fashions.

It seems also that philosophical discourse selects against simple or falsifiable ideas and selects for obscurantist or illogical but widely applicable philosophies.

I've seen so much discussion about Nietzche but read nothing other than a few trivially obvious things, a load of bullshitty things, and people claiming those trivial or bullshitty things were ironic and he actually supported other trivial or bullshitty things.
