Yup thats what I thought

Thats what we want to hear right? Some interview kinda annoying because too much interruption

"The book doesnt have any topics" i love this insane man

You mean the whole interview?

Completely agreed. No point fighting against the tide

@faultroy Lmao, what

​@@Soleilune1995 he didn't have a conversation with zizek, he said one or two things

Acute analysis

We need more marxist professors on universities to make the cold war great again.

@Gumbo Clay Working people voted Trump. Working people dont need apparatsjiks leeching on them.

@Gumbo Clay *"because the working class are mostly white males"* I hope you're just speaking on a national scale. Even then, that assertion is still inaccurate since the gender divide of the working class is nearly 50/50 (at least here in the U.S.). I agree though that the modern left focuses too much on identity rather than class.

Gumbo Clay The entire reason that the Marxists switched to Cultural Marxism was because the Western working class rejected Marxism and was clearly never going to accept it as it was. Marxism was always funded by Wall St. Chosenites anyway, because it is a weapon of racial supremacy and maximizing global usury. Cultural Marxism is why the world has $200 trillion in debt. It’s a banker profiteering racket.

Or maybe you're getting better at understanding the clear logic that underlies his supposed digressionary speech.

@@johnantony797 Zizek said this

@@johnantony797Probably because it vilifies nuclear energy and maybe oversimplifies and villianizes the Soviet Union too much. But I can’t make a secure guess since I didn’t watch it.

Terrible shame as well as what he is saying about the political space, future of the left and that was very spot on.

Basically everything is immediately turned into a fucking meme

Caleb I am fully prepared to admit that you are correct.

@@caleb3909 well thank god you're here Caleb, voice of the people and scourge of the elite.

@TheSingularity We are all family. So why do we need borders?

@TheSingularityLol I forgot I made that asinine comment. I thought I was replying to a different thread. But yeah in all honesty I'm not for OB.

@TheSingularity Why not? Is it impossible for "leftists" to defend their borders? No, in fact that's been going for quite some time. And same with family. A majority of leftists do not favor literally open borders, if that's what your referring to. But I don't know why I bothered to respond to this, it just seemed exceptionally stupid.

@@beltranjr11 Glad to see he understood and didnt feel the need to answer , great point❤

@TheSingularity We don't despise the concept of family. I happen to think the nuclear family is the ideal form of family organization, I just don't throw a tantrum when somebody dares to step outside that ideal, as the right do.

Simon FNP hahahhahaa

If he gets the coronavirus everyone in a mile radius is fucked 😂

Ben Haley u damn right Sir

You guys are sooo bad! lollllll

His simplistic take on reality aligns with hers. That's why he likes her. "Science says this, so we should do something". It's fucking moronic. Unless you have real engineering solutions that actually work, no one needs another moron expousing "violent hatred"; which just deflects responsibility to others. "The capitalists" in this case. He is just a pathetic commie that pushes the hard questions and solutions on someone else. All he has in his repertoire is "you should do something to make my life better". What a pathetic slob.

@@RealityGutPunch the science not only identified the culprits but also designed solutions, you fucking idiot!

JMAC LIVES So because we don't currently have a solid solution, we shouldn't try to bring attention to something that important? Climate change activism isn't "you stupid fucking capitalists should make MY life better, immediately!" It's about identifying what's actually fucking going on and holding the ones responsible for it, responsible. It's not "capitalists should give me a free fucking ipad immediately", it's more like "I'm kind of terrified about the world my grand children will inherit, and we should do something". We can't be angry at gross negligence for profit, because we don't have an immediate solution? I don't understand that at all, we're likely to never get a solution unless we demand it, and that might not be enough. Can you maybe elaborate? Because it seems like you have a simplistic take on reality right now

I salute you editor. This has saved me an hour tonight. He's still talking cobblers but at least now I know!

@@RealityGutPunch OK dude, uh what ever you say but at the end of the day we gotta get our lazy asses out there and recycle a lil bit, gosh

Why are leftists such fans of speech impediments?

there is a mode that creates a tape echo called "and so on and so on"

Even without the ticks, broken English, speech impediments... he's just rambling on about inconsequential nonsense, one minute its a Hugh Grant movie, next a Polish war analogy then Boris and Freudian name slips. Its like a live action William Burroughs cut-up.

@@theNomadz well, I didn't say that he is easy to linten

shniff

I kinda like the fact that he seems to not give a fuck about his constant sniffing

*tips fedora*

don't worry, Zizek mostly surrounds himself with people he thinks are as smart or smarter than him.

ha ha ha, it did seem like he was sat there for an hour wondering to himself what Slavoj's hot take on Chernobyl was.

"Zizek interviewed by a Love Island contestant"

Means he wasnt listening

That really pissed me off. Interviewer zoned out and crashed a very insightful thought train. Now I need to know WHO OR WHAT WAS ZIZEK ASHAMED OF?

He'd been speaking for 20 minutes uninterrupted and I wanted to move things onto cinema and TV. Sorry it's not to your liking.

@@olidugmore8601 It's fine, Zizek has a tendency to ramble on, you did cut him short at an interesting point but I understand that as an interviewer, you had other point you wanted to cover in the limited time you had. It's an exceptionally good interview, by the way. You covered many fresh topics. Good job!

We need Žižek on Rogan, he makes 4 hours long podcasts, perfect format for Žižek.

@@bradmodd7856 that would be an awesome pub session.

Yep, that was interesting.

Nah, motherfucker would not be used as a comma in the situation he described. It would be obscene and the literal meaning is definitely hovering close by.

And when it comes to ideas, the proposal that Reagonomics was more destructive to family values than all the left-wing identity empowerment movements is a great way of expressing what I feel very many people are slowly starting to realise. The right have some honestly noble values (i.e. people need a family), which the left should not be reactionary against, but the politicians posing as representatives of people who identify as right wing are much more often than not just shills for capital over everything. Monetary Wealth as the only paradigm of value.

You know Its like this And so on

Sam D Seems like you don't know the difference between leftist and liberal. Lol

@@LeonWagg you are being snobbish

@@LeonWagg The problem is, that all is mixed today, there is wether healthy liberal nor left today.

Finanziell Unabhängig Finanziell Not really. I think you can still differentiate liberals from leftists. Leftists are much more radically in the way they see problems (like Zizek) liberals like to talk about marginal things (identity politics and so). Zizek really makes it clear in this video that ”liberals are not true leftists.”

I think thats one of zizeks major contributions to free thinking. While newer leftists either refer later critical theory (demirovic, habermas, even a guy like richard david precht etc) or to post structuralism (buttler, foucault, derrida and all the french douchenozzles) zizek goes a step back refering to hegel and does a synthesis of hegel dialectic as the thesis and marx materialism as the anthithesis. With this 'fusion' of thinking he becomes much harder to understand at first grasp, because like i said most leftists believe mostly in the one or the other ideology and he uses both. But he then creates a pattern of thinking/ perspective which is completely new therefore very refreshing while not less true. A good example of this, for me was when he criticised 'dialectics of enlightment' (adorno and horkheimers major work as an explanaition on how nazism could become a thing as a logic following of the historic of reason itself). He didnt criticise it as being non valid or retarded/ untrue etc and therefore denying historical materialism. He just added that tje frankfurter school failed to explain the suffering in gulags and the raise of stalin with this logic. While stalinism for zizek was even a better example of the 'negative somehow pervertisation of enlightment'. He then gives examples of this thesis to ground it. Like the gulag members once a year had to group up and sign a birthday card for stalin. This shows the pervertion. On this level in stalinsim all people were treated the same and even prisoniers had 'the right to sign a card' or their signatures was seen as somehow worry enough to fo the effort of gathering them (what would be totally unimaginable with jews in auschwitz since they had no inner worth for the nazis). On the other hand they were judt burgeoise scum and had to work until they die...

Spencer AM please define globalist racial Marxism

@@Neuroticmancer a racialist world view that takes the classical false dichotomy between the proletariat and bourgeoisie and applies to a series of false dyads from White vs "PoC" to Western culture vs non-Western. Racial and cultural marxism are but a few of the larger branches on intersectional racism and marxism. There is also gender and classical material dichotomies but racial marxism is the most toxic root driving the globalist left today.
