Why do you hate critical theory? The idea that social problems are influenced by societal structures and that you should critique society in order to reveal these structures seems rational.

I'm not going to dignify that with an answer.

You can engage with all the 'pozzed' stuff as you like, you're not forced to accept any dogma, just be capable of actual reasoning. If you don't have the intellect to argue against egalitarian globohomo neoliberal buzzing stick to wojak posting on a mime tutorial forum for vicarious stay-at-home moms

Because by definition they exist. A Social structure is a social arrangement that arises from Society. Things like Laws and Economy are social arrangements that arise from society. I don't know why you would think they don't exist?

Just literally don't read pozzed critical theory then? The meme seems to have taken off in the last 20 or so years, just ignore anything written after that point. Protip: you won't be missing much.

The philosophical bases for critical theory are the same writers /lit/ continually shills. Never mind that the heyday of critical theory was the middle of the twentieth century.

He's saying that critical theory is just progressive dogma and not actually a "critical' way of viewing things you dishonest shithead

>I'm the dishonest shithead
The dude is literally saying societal structures don't exist because some people use them to justify systemic racism, and you think I'm the dishonest shit head in this situation? Do you honestly believe that? Because it shows an obvious bias that you hold.

What? OP wanted to study the humanities without having to deal with the pozzed pomo horseshit that infects many humanities departments like literature. Hence the recommendation to study non-pozzed humanities like philosophy or classics.

Lol, systemic racism does not exist (in the developed Western nations at least), you paranoid fool.

Read some black conservative authors who are actually smart instead of the postmodern/postcolonial/postmalone black academics who took the easy route bitching about how evil white people are.

From what I've read on /lit there's plenty of literature programmes in yankeeville which don't go into the deep end. My guess is that history or philosophy programmes are even better off.

Fair enough, but what do you study? Literature? I'd think you can still go your own way in the papers you're asked to write
You might be able to divert your time to extra-curricular activity more to your liking
