Rockhill dives into the history and philosophy of Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer to explain why the two towering figures of the Frankfurt School ultimately played the role of radical recuperators.

Same here. I wonder what else can be found on a site that starts out by fedjacketing and accusing Adorno of "cultural Marxism", a common fascist dogwhistle.
Oh look, the featured article about Roe vs Wade casually slips in TERF shit like this:
I guess trans men, who can also become pregnant and may need abortions, either don't count or have to be subsumed under the TERFy "womynandgurls" umbrella. The cherry on top is that the author also publishes in the settler-colonialist, pro-Trump Jerusalem Post.
And then there's an article from a self-described "lockdown critic " about how you can be against lockdowns and still take in Ukrainian refugees, where she says about the Canadian chud truckers that "the convoy represented something deeper to me—a revolt against two years of government overreach—and I supported the right to express that".
So, i've now looked at three articles and every one of them uses an academic veneer to slip common rightwing discourse into seemingly leftist positions.
Extremely sus source.
Did you just skim the first paragraph and thought you understood the article? How is it 'fedjacketing' to point out Adorno's and Horkheimer's well-documented collaboration with CIA fronts? And how does pointing out different articles written by different authors prove anything? The Philosophical Salon is published by the LA Review of Books and publishes from different viewpoints. There's no secret intention behind every article posted from that source.
Nah, i unfortunately read more of it.
