Your point is not suited to a tweet, it vastly oversimplifies the ways that phrase may be understood. People may consider various critical viewpoints, or theories, while being wedded to none. The act of comparing theoretical viewpoints is not in itself a failure of imagination.

This is exactly why your original tweet could not do the work you asked of it. "tends" underlines its instability even more. I don't disagree with you that theory is exploited by ideologues. But oversimplified tweets for oversimplified likes don't help anyone.

Agreed. CT argues that in order to expose source of powe, research should deconstruct an idea or social construct that 'holds' the power, until it is virtually meaningless. Once you do that the theory is you expose the abuse of power and replace it with a different power.

However...is the point of this research paradigm to expose an alleged abuse, or inappropriate use of power, or to actively replace it with a 'personalised agenda'?

where exactly does it say that critical theory cannot apply to self-examination?

“but is never itself deconstructed”... I think you are making an premature assumption somewhere here. Also you treat theory as if it is a single unified theory rather than many theories whose union in fact is inconsistent.
