This is the home of all topics from the old forum. ontic-philosophy.com was the original incarnation of this site back in 2017/18 which was ran on a myBB platform. A Tree Stump (formely Ontical) saved a backup of the site before taking it down. In 2025 the forum was ressurected into a Buddypress/phpBB site on indieagora.com and then into this new Atrium custom build platform on indieagora.com. Feel free to add to the discussions and to ressurect old posts. You can also add new topics if you like.

Only just discovered this social critic and feminist, but I have to say, I don't think she's going to be inspiring to me. So far, I hear lots of 'scratchy' ad-hominem rejections of post-structuralism, especially Foucault and Butler, saying they are 'too abstract'. Also, she said the French can keep post-structuralism because the US hasn't had the same literary crisis, which sounded very exceptionalist to me and anyone who reduces post-structuralism to literary theory, is giving you a red-herring.

Milo Yianopolous approves of her 'anti-PC' take on things and 'anti-Hillary' stuff too.
