This is painful to watch.

"What deconstruction sets before us is a profound mystery, which can 
be approached only through the incantation of invented words, through 
a Newspeak which deconstructs its own meaning in the act of 
utterance. When at last the veil is lifted, we perceive a wondrous 
landscape: a world of negations, a world in which, wherever we look 
for  presence we find absence, a world not of people but of vacant 
idols, a world which offers, in the places where we seek for order, 
friendship and moral value, only the skeleton of power. There is no 
creation in this world, though it is full of cleverness - a 
cleverness actively deployed in the cause of Nothing. It is a world 
of uncreation, without hope or faith or love, since no "text" could 
possibly mean those transcendent things. It is a world in which 
negation has been endowed with the supreme instruments - power and 
intellect - so making absence into the all-embracing presence. It is, 
in short, the world of the devil."
Roger Scruton, An Intelligent Person's Guide to Modern Culture, p128
