Mr Wet:
"H D Harootunian, in “Things Seen and Unseen: Discourse and Ideology in Tokugawa Nativism”:
Despite considerable differences among them, the new theoretical strategies all contest the authority of received positions as socially constituted practices and challenge claims to validity founded in common sense and the presumed neutrality of language. This assault has often been expressed in difficult and even syntactically obscure formulations, not out of pedantry or perversity but from the belief that resistance to familiar values and presuppositions in discourse must not reproduce these assumptions and values by being easily readable and understandable
Translation:
I want to mindfuck you, and you can’t stop me."
