How to get the point and attitude of this sentence?
To the extent that it foresaw the effect the internet would have on society, what makes the Frankfurt School - an early 20th century school of thought concerned with how rampant consumerism harms the self - suspect is not so much that it explodes much of what has sometimes proven to be a symbiotic relationship between our "real selves" and our "digital selves" as that it imagines a world so positively dystopian that it becomes but a caricature of the times in which we live.

Question

Answer

It is not surprising you are asking for an explanation! This is an example of a needlessly wordy sentence!
Basically, it is says
"The school did foresee the effect the internet would have on society, but what makes it untrustworthy is that it imagines a world so horrifying that it becomes but an exaggeration of the time we live in.

Hope this helps
