(Above: little Jacques Derrida [pronounced DARE-idda, 1930-2004], trying to look important, and taller)
“He was a leading Western philosopher!” they say. No, he wasn’t, he was an angry Jew who politicized words and talked in circles to hide the fact that he was full of shit. Quoting a major British newspaper’s obituary of Derrida, on October 11, 2004: “Derrida’s name has probably been mentioned more frequently in books, journals, lectures, and common-room conversations during the last 30 years than that of any other living thinker.” That should scare you badly, White man.
“To pretend, I actually do the thing: I have therefore only pretended to pretend.” — Jacques Derrida. (Wow, how deep. College kids and “intellectuals” love that kind of talk! It sounds cool when you’re stoned).
If Derrida were alive today, he’d say something like this: “Everything that the White, Western philosophers wrote is defective and illogical, because I say so and I’m always right! There’s no such thing as facts or truth, because life is a giant question mark and it’s very arrogant for gentiles to try to solve the mysteries of life. Only Jews can solve those mysteries, which don’t really exist anyway, except as theories!” [1].
Derrida’s “philosophy” (actually, it’s anti-philosophy) greatly aided today’s “if you believe it, then it’s true” reality-denying movements (to Derrida, there is no reality, just theories and opinions). Two examples of such movements are: Transgenderism and the Otherkin movement. They make no sense at all — unless you apply Derridaism (my word) to them. Then suddenly they make sense. It’s only a short step from Derridaism’s reality-denial to crazy ideas such as “a man can become a woman” and “I may look human, but I’m not. I’m really a cocker spaniel.” (Many Otherkins are also trannies and drug users, big surprise).
Some background on Derrida: he suffered from “anti-Semitism” as a child (that explains a lot!) and he invented a stupid, but surprisingly popular, “philosophical analyses method” called “deconstruction” in the 1960s. “Deconstruction” basically amounted to this: “find some text written by an old White guy and then try to make him look ridiculous by criticizing every word of his text, while also searching for hidden meanings, stereotypes, negativity and inequality in his text.” That’s all “deconstruction” is. An attack. A tearing-down or tearing-apart of a gentile’s work. It’s another way to attack White culture, by attacking White language. Derrida hated the White Western world. He hated the Western philosophers, whom he thought had “privileged speech” (yeah, where have you heard “privileged” before?). Deconstruction originally applied to written texts only, but later it spread and influenced various social and political realms of the Western world. Here’s a quote from the web: “Deconstruction has had an enormous influence in psychology, literary theory, cultural studies, linguistics, feminism, sociology and anthropology.”
A good example of Derrida-type bullshit is found in what Bill Clinton famously said under oath during his impeachment “trial”: “It depends on what your definition of ‘is’ is.” That’s perfect Derrida-type gobbledygook. (You’re “speaking Derrida” when college women go “oooooooo, that’s so profound!”). The very idea that this clown is considered to be a great “Western” philosopher!

[1] I’m going to try my hand at “speaking Derrida” here: “In this case, however, there is a ‘there’ there. We know this because if there wasn’t a there there, it wouldn’t be there, and if it wasn’t there, we wouldn’t know that it wasn’t there.” And that’s my first time trying that, too! I’m going to invent more Derridaisms and post them occasionally. You can, too. Feel free to make up all the Derridaisms you want and post them in Comments.
