Europe is Kaput. Long live Europe! | Slavoj Žižek, Yanis Varoufakis and Julian Assange 

Glad to see Zizek continues to be the nightmare of audio engineers around the world.

Oh my god, this was a cultural touch stone, how could this have been a time limited debate ? It should have lasted until they ran out of things to say or collapsed from fatigue

zizek should have a late night show

"There is nothing liberating in suffering" Slavoj Žižek ❤📚

I like the irony that Julian Assange is being filmed and projected in a way that makes him look like Big Brother.

Slavoj was on fire the whole time

It's such a breath of fresh air to know these guys exist. I come over, and over to this video, just to confirm that there's still hope for us in the future

Slavoj is the best, seriously.

"He will be forced to smile when we take power"

Slavoj is a great thinker and a great human.

Yanis is right, there is more diversity within a group than between groups.

I was at this. Seems like a lifetime ago.

"But can I just finish the line!" says Slavoj.

Zizek simply nails it time and again.

Slavoj Zizek - the epitome of courage and judgement! Thank you - this was incredible, such amazing intellects and spirits!

Poor Julian, a true mammoth of courage and integrity. I hope for a world when he is free and celebrated for the hero that he is.

Content warning: Slavoj Žižek

What a lineup, fantastic.

Those Slavoj's one-liners...

36:52 You have five Greeks, you get ten opinions.

Really love that Yanis has recently started to take up the baton from Tony Benn in quoting him a lot. From one generation to the next, that's the struggle. There's no final victory and there's no final defeat - that's what Tony always taught.

Free Assange!

Thank you very much for the upload.

Everything depends on this: that we connect our PROGRESSIVE European struggles with equally PROGRESSIVE struggles from the Middle East. The silent treatment of every criticism of Islam as Islamophobia is catastrophic for both Europe/The West and the Middle East itself. - Slavoj Zizek [paraphrased]

1:34:57 that confidence: "He will be forced to smile when we take power!" :D

Came for Zizek, stayed for Varoufakis. Instant fan

LOL Zizek trying desperately to keep those goddamn papers from falling, but as soon he leaves them he starts shaking and papers start slipping down again

1:30:44 Me when somebody tells I should not spend the whole day listening to Zizek.

This is the best talk-show I've seen in the last 10 years.. and I've seen quite a few. All three of them, such open-minded genius!

Let Slavoj speak man!!

this video felt strangely empowering and vitalizing to watch. feelings that don't go around to easy in these times of crisis.

I like when Julian Assange appears Obi Wan-Kenobi-style as a floating hologram dispensing wise advice.

He will be forced to smile when we take power!

Without any doubt the most powerful thing that was said; from 1:35:58 to 1:36:47. Bravo Varoufakis.

what a marvel !!! thanks so much!!! THANKS SO MUCH for share !!!

Outstanding!!! Thank you so much.

I am considering translating this to Arabic has there been any translations made already or should I get started?

Yanis, every time he speaks, I learn something new.

Come back to this every x amount of years, and it's still great

Great Talk.

well said Yanis!

Wow, the final quarter of this was epic.

Thank you

Thank You Southbank!

woot woot!

There are still thinkers in Europe, they need to be heard more.

this is the best thing i have ever watched. gotta love slavoj's ascensions.

So many messages aged well. Bravo to all participants!

Yaassss boy Yanis!!!!! What a legend!

Great! We need more of this in the west.

Marvelous talk.

An interesting discussion, some good points raised on all sides

Zizek could infect the whole audience if he had covid.

I relate to Slavoj.. what a Legend 🤣 the man got a lot of passion

Lovely!

what a wonderful, witty, enlightened and intellectually brilliant panel! a complete delight in the current darkness of grunting, clubwielding troglodytes.

Wall street in New York was a wall originally built to separate Dutch from English parts of town.

Chomsky's voice puts me to sleep, Žižek's voice keeps me wide awake.

We owe you! Thank you! Sub'd!

Slavoj is an awesome speaker !! hehe very passionate

I want to offer these men the most extraordinary and confounding of embraces. I feel such an astounding feeling of knowing and concilience in the thoughts of these 3 three that it creates in my mind a sense of hope and determination which only appears when the belief in social concilience rears its head and shows itself as a possibility. I am filled with with a peace and a fiery desire to enact change when I hear such thoughts and feelings expressed so clearly and well articulated; such a feeling of grace it creates that I am urged to engage and pressed so passionately to provoke and to feel with my fellow man. I'm happy that such a debate is not only possible, but encouraged, and supported

I love how well read and Spoken Assange is. He seems as philosophicqlly and intrllectually engaged as zizek here. With this, it would b rlly cool to see the points of contention between zizek and assange (which in my eyes seemed to be on a kind of different plane than Yanis as they were slightly more influenced by discussions of Ideology with a capital I)

Great, compassionate, very intelligent human beings that inspire generations. Free Assange. Truth is the greatest force.

This made me feel Instinctually, Revolutionarily Fizzy and tingly insidel

It's been a long seven days!

I hope that when I am old and a failed revolutionary, I am half as cool as Slavoj Zizek.

This is an excellent event.

Superb

This talk is soo good but also incredibly depressing when you realize that both the global political system and the masses of nonreflective conformists are never going to change.

Revisitng this in 2020 and Yiani's part at 54ish mins is a loud echo

interesantisimo para todas las parties involved y el futuro del mundo!

Audio being what it is, Zizek's statement is eloquent, to the point, memorable and as urgent as ever!

3:48 - I tried searching for the skip-intro man, guess he went to Europe

Zizek with the best mic handling - kids a MC natural

a subject that open your eyes and make you thinking

and so on and so on

Slavoj has a highly interesting way to argument for being on twenty pots of coffee.

I am tempted to translate this to portuguese. How would i do that? is there a platform within youtube to do that?

I have to rewatch it every now and then

We so need another round of this, an end-of-the 2022 version ...

Stop interrupting slavoj and let him make his point please

for non european audience, especially anglo-saxon audience. I'm French and I consider that I know pretty well the culture/history and current collective psychology of the following countries : - Spain and Portugal because my mom used to teach spanish for decades and we often spent our vacations there, and my father had businesses in Portugal - Germany and Austria because I learned the langage with great pleasure at school and was always interested in this cultural area for intellectual and sentimental reasons (Music, philosophy, the lips of the first girl I kissed during a student travel in Lüneburg...) - I don't know Italia as well as Spain, but we all know in France than Italian people, at least from the North, are like very close cousins I can tell you that what Yanis says about the creation of the Euro is COMPLETLY true ! Each country chose to join the single currency for "nationalist" reasons that have more to do with national historical neuroses than with a rational economic analysis or the real conviction that a brand new European individual could rise from the merging of numerous national cultures. The no-border, postnational ideology dominating the boomers generation just gave a apparent rationale.

1:45:20 and especially "There is no evidence that this hope is justified but there is plenty of evidence to suggest that without this hope we succumb to the fear of fear and the terrorists in whatever form they take will triumph against humanism" is such a powerful point.

Ok ich schaue mir das Video an ! Ich finde das sehr gut , das Yanis Varoufakis dabei ist !

Zizek is fucking fire on this one damn 🔥🔥🔥

RU-vid created the 2x speed for Zizek.

GREAT and PROVOCATIVE DEBATE...

It resonates with me and others , I grieve for all suffering innocent people who are in dire violent situation. I have to distract myself to avoid being depressed.. Seems I live in a twilight zone. Would love to wake up in better world.

I feel guilty watching Julian....we've not done enough to save him from the dark forces within our government...and the USA of course . He's a sensitive. thoughtful man. He's a hero too. why cant we all step in to protect this beautiful geezer ?

I didn’t know this existed fuck I’m so happy

gotta love slavoj

fast forward to 2020

i have a dream freedom of press, transparant politics, no more financing of political parties by big corporations

Such an IMPORTANT Issue/VIDEO should be subtitled! That way every WORD from genuine Varoufakis -specially from this volcanic and unstoppable great Žižek- is UNDERSTOOD at its fullest. Maybe someone could provide the Subtitle as (.srt)

I completely agree with Zizek!

This conversation left me super scared.

1:30:45 bruh I laughed so hard at this

I wish this debate would at least double its viewing audience

Wow. What if we'd have the chance in our average lives to speak EVERYDAY about these issues with other people. In bars, cafes, suks, wherever... Just by speaking, we would change the world.

Slavoj's and Yanis' banter is off the charts
