Why does it seem that, more and more, the word "critical" is being used to mean almost the exact opposite of critical?

Whenever I see the word it usually means "doesn't question [postmodern ideology x]"

You've already made this thread several times before. Search the archive.

Or I can end the thread by giving you the answer you're looking for: it's the kikes, Deus vult, praise lord KEK

It's because of cultural Marxism, man! It's a way to breed out whiteness. They want to genocide you.

Watch your back, you've been warned

Critical usually means ignorant.

But really, why did you make the thread again? And why did you feel the need to lie about it?

I want an answer, friend

Sounds to me that you don't read any of the things you are attempting to critique. I'd try reading before posting next time, sport.
>>
>>8639400
yes I do. Why are you so salty?
>>
>>8639407

Because if you did you would know that the discourses you think you understand take certain assumptions for granted just like anything else, and criticize culture from those standpoints. You don't ask chemists to assert that objects exist.
>>
>>8639414
But chemists don't claim to be engaging in "critical dialogue." They claim to be doing chemistry. Ideologues are doing ideology but claim to be engaging in "critical dialogue"
>>
>>8639416
What kind of dumbass post is this?
>>
>postmodern
>ideology
>>
>>8639425
Chemists are aware that they are toiling in the status quo when it comes to assumptions. People who claim to be "critical" are saying that they are taking things apart and scrutinizing them. That's what the word means.
>>
>>8639440

ok, so let's take the test case of critical race theory. according to you it is just a taking for granted of "postmodern ideology." but i defy you to tell me what is "uncritical" about locating and analyzing the assumptions underlying or, as is more often the case, engendered in contemporary, culturally popular representations of race.
>>
>>8639449
they aren't being critical about their own ideological assumptions about the concepts of race and power and even moral philosophy
>>
>>8639416
>But chemists don't claim to be engaging in "critical dialogue."
And likewise critics don't claim to be doing chemistry, what's the issue here?
>>
>>8639786
...they claim to be engaging in something "critical" but are actually engaging in the exact opposite
>>
>>8639273
Semantic drift. People use words in ways that make no sense LITERALLY all the time.
>>
>>8639474
A critique doesn't need to be a meta-critique you fucking ignoramus.

What you're asking is why doesn't everybody agree with me.
