Was deconstruction a mistake? Was it a big fucking waste of time?

What is deconstruction? I tried reading the Wikipedia but it's not clicking for me

What is wrong with subverting the cliches that pile up in a certain form of artistic expression?

deconstruction brings the vernacular back to the mythological completing the cycle of history. to call it a mistake is a miss steak.

Look at how bored he is. Look at how uninteresting his "context" (surroundings) are. This was a guy who just wanted to fuck around

Can someone who understand deconstruction please tell me where Derrida's insight stops and his thousands of cult-like followers in 1980s academia begin?

What parts of general knowledge of "deconstruction" are just bad reputation earned by an army of grad students shallowly applying half-readings of Derrida? And what parts are the really sparkling philosophical insight?
