Respect.
“I have made a ceaseless effort not to ridicule, not to bewail, not to scorn human actions, but it’s fucking hard to respect you when you allow me to cheat on you.”

Analytic vs. Continental
I guess it's not as hostile as it used to be, but to hear some analytic philosophers tell it, Continental philosophers are just a bunch of bros competing to see who can say the most meaningless thing, as if Continental philosophy began as a complicated prank on academia that took on a life of its own; the initial perpetrators just lost control. And if some Continental philosophers are to be believed, analytic philosophers are just a bunch of nerds retreating to the safety of familiar letters and complicated formulas who like to argue over dumb technicalities because God forbid anyone have a daring new idea that isn't just a rearrangement of the same old shit.

Eventually, though, bros got too fucking successful, and they started to spread. Natural disasters, weather patterns, scarcity, none of that shit kept them in check; bros just hardened, got stronger, and began to develop new concepts. And then modern society was truly born: some asshole invented property. He put some sticks in the ground and told people, "This is mine." If those first bros had told him, as they should have, "What? Fuck you, dude. It's the goddamn earth, how do those sticks make it yours?" we could have avoided a whole bunch of trouble. But apparently he convinced enough people that one could actually own land, and shit went downhill from there.

Of course my views and opinions go much deeper than this, but the satirical take is hilarious.
Sorry for partying.
