Derrida a shit. The Ancients were right.

In medio stat virtus.

Derrida was literally a MarxNietscuck.

He bought into the idea that everything is about power (will to power) and he was memed by the HegeloMarxist dialectics of struggle (class/gender/race/etc struggle)

the security guard working in a corporate building probably knows more about life and human nature than some philosopher/"intellectual" ever will.

Stupid people created the term, actually.
