What does this mean? You've stopped thinking critically about all this 
horror? If you choose to reify 'Critical Theory' into a given set of 
doctrines or systems of thought that people feel they must worry about 
for some reason, then you may indeed want to lead yourself away.
Critical theory is a response to the world you describe - a means to 
help you understand it. Some writings may help you do that. Where 
'masochistic fretting' comes in, I don't know. If you give up on 
critical thought, you give up.
