Ever since I've been in real academia, that nonsense has been made fun of. It's just the same old formulaic, misologistic, irrationalist, obscurantist bullshit. Blah blah blah racism; blah blah blah misogyny; blah blah blah oppression; blah blah blah Marx; blah blah blah Foucault. Blah blah blah Derrida. Now we can add: blah blah blah systemic; blah blah blah structural; blah blah blah institutional; blah blah blah white supremacy.
That nonsense can't even attract third-rate minds. It drives away anyone with more than half a brain, and, even before AI was lying around on people's desktops, people noted that computers could produce it. Boghossian, Lindsay and Pluckrose were basically hand-crafting mindless AI output in Sokal II. It won't be long before actual AI is producing such autogenerated stupidity.
