: Derrida's Daddy, Herr Doktor Heidegger

[Joseph Tracy]

Joel K wrote  
the affinity between lefty pomos and reactionaries couldn't be more clear. 
one group throws meaning to the wolves as a game, and the other chews and 
swallows, entirely in earnest.

The problem isn't wolves or "beasts",  the problem is humans. In my observation  racist, reactionary, patriotic, Imperial, classical, communist, fascist, Old testament , colonial, Islamic, New Testament, capitalist, scientific , advanced, primitive,lefty, righty, German , English, Russian,  Incan, Chinese, Mongol, Jewish ,  American  or any other brand of militarist killers rarely feed on post modernist literature. I am not defending Heidegger, but fascists of all stripes seem to be most likely to be reviving some well worn triumphal mythos of the superior "people" taking their proper place among inferiors. 

 I'm kinda surprised you take this guy so seriously; from the fragments of Derrida posted thus far i can't tell the difference between it and automatic writing or Nostradamus, about as informative and thought-provoking as tea leaves, and probably about as influential.
