Why do people on here even engage with critical theory or its close relations? If critical theory can really predict things, let critical theorists clearly state their falsifiable predictions. If the theory is not meant to predict things then we shall accept that it is one theory (or group of theories) out of infinitely many possible unfalsifiable theories.

That's basically it. So why this muddle headed talk of how many rapes can be performed on the head of a pin? The judgement of unfalsifiable theories is through arbitrarily chosen criteria (in reality chosen through fashion).

Can someone tell me, if critical theory is not in the business of making falsifiable predictions, why critical theorists love using their theories to talk about important issues?

I'm asking such simple questions but I will not get clear answers.
