I lost all faith when they did a "takedown" of Baudrillard which was such a blatant misreading it was gross

Oh that's interesting. I never came across that.

Tbh there's a degree of culpability that philosophers like Baudrillard need to take in this situation because of what Foucault called their "terroristic obscurantism" (to which Foucault himself is certainly not free from guilt of committing); I think that Baudrillard is borderline a philosophical cypher that people can project meaning onto, especially if they aren't doing a close reading and if they aren't steeped in the tradition and the conversation that Baudrillard is a part of.

I might have to read what they had to say just out of idle curiosity.
