It is this way for a reason. After the failed Paris 1968 moment, the revolutionary left (suspected of treasonous alignment with the Soviets) moved into academia. They continued to talk about the revolutionary overthrow of the State, but to keep their jobs, developed an ideolect.

Circling around the original source you’re trying to read by also reading multiple other interpretations of it from different angles until you get the original point.

so refreshing to hear... that was the first philosophy book i ever read cover to cover... i think i was 20... my head still hurts from it, but i digested something about actual and virtual and time and immanence that rests in my core even if i will never be able to articulate it

Read in multiple passes. First time brisk through. This will give you a very rough mental scaffolding (doesn't matter if wrong) to build of in the next read through. I usually do 2 quick passes and then (depending on what I want from the text) maybe a slow read.
