Good post here, especially pointing out the annoying tendency of ConPhils to use the Courtier's Reply to any criticism of their murky language.

The appeal to "performance art" also tracks with what I've seen, especially ironic since the activists being filmed doing literal interpretive dancing at protests are probably steeped in ConPhil and certainly Butler.

It's signaling. They don't understand it either. They just want to come off as open minded and repeat deepities about how it works without themselves understanding it
