Angeregt durch eine TV-Doku über Inge & Walter Jens (✝️ 2021+2013) habe ich mich des Nachts gefragt, wie es mit den aktuellen #Medienphilosophen ausschaut, und bin naturgemäß auf #RichardDavidPrecht gestoßen - vor einigen Jahren noch teils ganz passabel ("Tiere denken")... 1/14 
...aber inzwischen doch stark rückläufig und zumindest bei Twitter KOMPLETT VERNICHTET, weil hier bekanntermaßen nur Schwarz-Weiß funktioniert - hey, irgendwann gibt's bestimmt von @elonmusk einen gelben Haken für verifizierte Differenzierungsfähigkeit (8,95 € im Monat). 2/14
Vom Beachboy #Precht kam ich auf den m.E. viel schlimmeren Lesebrillenträger #PeterSloterdijk (nach Absetzung seines TV-Formats #DasPhilosophischeQuartett kam als Nachfolger #Precht ins Programm, dem vorgeworfen wurde, er sei nur ein Popularist & Philosophen-Darsteller). 3/14
My critique of #Zizek is an analysis of his--pro-imperialist/anticommunist--position in the social relations of intel production. It’s part of a book on theory industry’s war on #Marxism. Chapters on #FrankfurtSchool #Foucault #FrenchTheory & more. 🧵1/7

This article on the #FrankfurtSchool explains how #Adorno & #Horkheimer were funded & supported by the capitalist ruling class & imperialist states, including the CIA, as global spokesmen for an anti-communist politics of capitalist accommodation. 2/7 thephilosophicalsalon.com/the-cia-the-fr…
This deep dive into the anti-communism of the #FrankfurtSchool, which critically evaluates #Adorno #Horkheimer #Habermas #Honneth #Fraser, clearly outlines FS's opposition to #Marxism & esp actually existing #socialism. 3/7

1/11 This @CTW_ATC discussion outlines my book on how the Western intelligentsia of the global theory industry has helped consolidate the "compatible" Left (i.e. compatible w capitalism & imperialism). 🧵

2/ I explain the work of #Derrida w "anti-totalitarian" dissidents funded by the NED (a CIA cutout), while rehabilitating an unrepentant Nazi (Heidegger), collaborating w a Nazi collaborator (De Man) & foreclosing any analysis of "context."

3/ I've provided detailed scholarly accounts of #Derrida's idealist misreadings of philosophic history in these two books, which demonstrate that even his 'internal analyses' leave much to be desired:

The #FrankfurtSchool rose to fame—backed by the ruling class, imperialist states & CIA—by promoting Eurocentric social chauvinism, anti-communism & “cultural” Marxism sans praxis. 🧵 1/16

Frankfurt School critical theory has been—w #FrenchTheory—one of the hottest commodities of the global theory industry. They are the political & ideological source for so many trend-setting academic discourses: #pomo #poco #DecolonialTheory #QueerTheory #Afropessimism etc. 2/16
Adorno & Horkheimer directly contributed to the CIA’s imperial project of reinforcing the non-communist Left. Horkheimer participated in its junkets while Adorno published in CIA journals, corresponded w their operatives & liaised about expanding their activities in Germany. 3/16
"The erosion of meaningful culture, the domination of corporate & state media [] the loss of a knowledgable audience. And as one sees w/ the Russophobic response to Ukraine, the entire pandemic only served as a precursor to some complete mental collapse."

"And perhaps the best place (or one of them) to start is with ideas of #autonomy, #AI, and #tech (#media). For #automation and the internet have both, in their own ways, contributed hugely to the layers of mystification surrounding everything in the #capitalist west today."
"#AI seeks to achieve the same control over mental processes that #scientific management sought to achieve over physical #labour [in 2nd industrial revolution] through a process of rationalization, fragmentation, mechanization and routinization."
