Don't become prey to New Left's reification of theoretical debates

The ethos of this primitive social collective (which is founded on most basic tribal exchange principles) mandates, just like primitive collectives, a logic of symbolic exchange. Jean Baudrillard's Symbolic Exchange and Death is one of the key texts used by the bozos of the "scientific elite" of the New Left, who constructed this grandiose bozoic textual edifice for unweary individuals. Automata actually feel and take pride in their utterly manipulated identity when they get married and drive past your car, while pressing the horn, that they have been sanctioned to procreate on the relics of your symbolic annihilation. The same holds for funerals. They feel they maintain some sort of cosmic balance by allowing you to live as a symbolic exchange of another's death. Birth and death as symbolically exchanged social phenomena have been explored to death by anthropologists. Don't become prey to New Left's reification of theoretical debates.
