Why are French intellectuals so pretentious?

>not being pretentious

pleb

Postmodernist """""intellectuals"""""

This. Real men -- and real intellectuals -- are redpilled

It's all that's left when anyone can have an idea
>Americans are still impressed by people just being smart

Because they can hide behind walls of prose.

Is that Danny Devito?

Because post-modernism/structuralism are the bastard children of Nietzsche.

Seriously, why?

all of modern philosophy is shit

there's no reason to read any philosopher other than aristotle

It's been a long time long time since the last thread of that kind !

continentals want the downfall of western civilization and people that are against this will naturally dislike their writing

You're asking the question the wrong way. It should be "Why is the rest of the "West" so anti-intellectual that intellectuals don't become celebrities like they do in France?"

>using the word pretentious

I don't think I've ever seen a usage of the word by anyone but an idiot trying to disparage something that flew above their head.

>DUDE DISNEYLAND IS MORE REAL THAN REALITY LMAO
>DUDE OUR WORLD COPIES THE MAP NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND LMAO

Yeah, very intellectual. I don't know how the world would function without such insightful, brilliant minds.

Explain to me in clear, non-autistic terms what "deconstruction" is without sounding like a pretentious faggot.

the art of the mind rebelling against itself in reflexive dance.

I beg to differ.

Shattering assumptions.

It's a natural defence as a result of exhausting slaugthering of analytic idiots.

Me2 lol
