He's not spitting anything, those sounds from something obstructing the nose.. he has an allergic facies (pale face, dark eyebags, permament "frown") and allergic people is usually hiperactive like this guy. Also he must snort like a SOB and have sleep apnea. He should see a ENT doctor.
- So you're saying that we shouldn't work harder towards a multicultural environment? - No, I'm saying that we should live together but with a distance as we need to keep one another's identities -Sorry, err, I'm confused - Gotcha - Yes...yes...you have got me here.....
@@tonechavi2760 depending which suburbs you're talking about. Take French banlieues. It's a nightmare and people just can't live in them as gangs rule the show and whitey is not welcomed. Multiculturalism can work if people respect each other's cultures and background, yet all respect the law of the land. Hence, in my view, like in England, women can wear the veil but not participate in female genitalia circumsision.
He makes a great final point. If "europe is dead" why are so many people migrating to eurooe? Why does everyone want to see europe, study in europe, or live in europe? Because europe is possibly the best place to live on earth. And it is the source of almost all of western civilization, the civilization that the world now lives in.
I'm Muslim and I dont hate most of what he said. He openly admits hes uncomfortable with cultural differences as is the other. He doesnt think integration is bad, just too much. And most importantly he acknowledges that part of terrorism is a reaction to a failure of integration. Globalization has been pretty rapid in the past few decades. Rather than just saying oh your religion is evil.and I do believe imperialism and colonialism might have played some role, although isnt the only reason. Saudi Arabia and salafists are huge in this as well. I really wish westerners like this were more popular than the fire and brimstone, us vs them types.
Religion are a disease and Islam is the worst of them. If you believe something without evidence and you teach your children to think the same then you are a menace to human intellect.
@@Leandro.Patagonia ah don't say you want to kill all humans who believes Islam. You can think Islam is worst disease because I can not stop you thinking that way. But if you want eliminate all Muslims like curing diseases, it's just like fighting each others until one side dies or both die. P.s If you think I'm a religious person, I will say " no I don't believe any religion"
***** You don't need to argue to deliver arguments for your view ffs. And he was clearly saying EU is fucking up with this mass migration. And in my knowledge he's a former marxist. Again with the labels. I do agree with the multiculturalism being utter shit and that internationalists are in charge in Brussels and it's all going to shit, because of them.
@@user-oe3vy8yt5v Supporting how and for what reason? Previous commenter tried to argue that western powers were supporting extremist jihadist groups , this is incorrect.
Good way to explaining, using movie (cinema camera) director's view... easy for everyone to understand, absolutely right! This guy is a genius! Too much integration is a global hoax and we all like to keep our ways of life... the peaceful ways...
I share the answer he gives at 1:22 and I am a muslim grown up in middle europe. Problem is there is too many differences!!! We are not ready YET to live together because we have to insure first that everyones physiological and security needs are fullfilled(something like baseless income or utopia where all work is automated and handled by machines). After that we can approach each other peacfully.
yea but i don't like the fact that he's trying to downplay imperialism here.literaly every dictator in the middle east with exception to Iran and Syria(both of whom are supported by russia and china) are supported by a rich country
i prefer chomsky's take on such situations but you need to remember that Slavoj is running in central Europe were feelings towards immigrants are not very popular
hammond clarkson Saudi Arabia has a huge part to play in the atrocities in the Middle East, and they have a similar culture to the migrants. They should obviously take in a bunch, they have plenty of space too. They don’t really take in any, however.
It would never work out because next to securing resources, people's values also cause conflict, and some cultural values are not compatible with others.
@@hammondclarkson9799 yes you are right. That's the my only criticism of this video. But I don't think that's what he believes but he is just showing the other side. It is these Comments that are trying to play on this.
He is less than observant when he describes the photo as being of migrants rescued at the last moment. The man on the right is clearly standing in the water.
what's wrong with living together with different cultures? Since I left home I have always lived in places where the culture to which I was naturalised was in the minority and all the better for it.
His last words. Thats why I dreamed about Western life as a Middle eastern. I envy it. But I don't wanna disturb anyone and go where I am not wanted. The place where I live will not change to better, so I feel stuck.
He does not absolve the West (although tbf its not that clear in this clip). His opinion is that although the West does have a big responsibility for the atrocities committed in the Middle East and Affrica, when we blame everything on the West, we think we are being progressive and anti colonial but instead we engage in a new type of colonial bigotry. We reduce the citizens of these places to passive agents and imply that they do not have capacity for evil whereas the European is the only one capable of atrocities.
Here's the problem with his arguments. All of the current islamic extremist groups in the middle east, including Al-Qaeda and ISIS, were being supported by Western imperial powers, given weapons, funding and training to fight against people who served US economic interests. The majority of people in the middle east did not want these extremists to have power, and would much rather enjoy a middle class lifestyle with safe neighborhoods, and some basic personal liberties. So there is an "active" group in the middle east of expansionary extremists, but they were on the fringes of society until Western powers spent the last 100 years supporting those people for their own interests. Secondly, the legacy of Christianity and Western colonialism is the most brutally violent and intolerant in the entirety of human history. The history of Europe is plagued with constant war, torture and persecution. It wasn't until the post WWII era, and the introduction of nuclear arms created the doctrine of mutually assured destruction did the west stop becoming a violent, imperialistic shithole. This also why I reject the idea that idea of democracy and universal liberation are unique aspects of "western culture." These ideas may have developed in the west, but they were in response and reaction to the oppressive, intolerant, irrational culture of Christianity. There are also ancient traditions of liberal thought in China and India. If you believe in universal liberty, democracy, and human rights, these should not be reserved for one "Culture" but expanded to the whole of humanity.
"All of the current islamic extremist groups in the middle east, including Al-Qaeda and ISIS, were being supported by Western imperial powers, given weapons, funding and training to fight against people who served US economic interests. The majority of people in the middle east did not want these extremists to have power, and would much rather enjoy a middle class lifestyle with safe neighborhoods, and some basic personal liberties." ...So send the migrants and refugees to the USA, and in particular to the actual organisations which supported said extremist groups. Rather than to Europe where the native working class has it bad enough as it is already, without the extra stress of having to deal with the problem of Muslim immigrants who generally refuse to integrate and may or may not be harbouring current Islamic extremist groups supported by the US government and a kowtowing European upper class. Just as the majority of the people in the Middle East did not want these extremists to come to power, a great number of Europeans (and the majority of the working class) do not want to have to deal with the outcomes of their governments' stupid decisions made in response to problems caused by US backed Western imperial powers, who are working against the interest of native, working class Westerners/Europeans. No, they would rather enjoy a middle class lifestyle with safe neighborhoods, and some basic personal liberties. Those things are being eroded by multiculturalism and mass migration. Do yourself a favour and stop looking at "the West" as one great homogenous, imperialistic force for evil, and consider there are millions upon millions of Europeans whose interests do not lie with the treasonous, globalist powers who tend to rule their nations.
belowroller, you're quite confused about the facts. Islam has been violently attacking its neighbors and subjugating its non-Muslim residents (when they're allowed to continue drawing breath) for the past 14 centuries! I've heard Chomsky make the claim you did, that the neo-imperialists of the US have preferred radical Islam to Arab nationalism, and, for this reason, the US has aided some radical Islamists. Assume arguendo that this is true. This in no way accounts for the prior 1300 years of Islamic militarism, aggression, and Jim Crow-style harrassment of non-Muslims. You can't explain a phenomenon starting in the 7th century A.D. with a "cause" that began in the 20th century A.D. Neither the US nor the west, in general, has been the cause of Islamic aggression. I'll grant that western imperialists have committed terrible crimes, but it doesn't follow from that fact that there are no other grand criminal gangs throughout history. The entire Middle East was all Christian. Islam invaded, conquered, and so thoroughly harrassed the remaining Christians (and Jews and Zoroastrians) that it's now thought by fools like you that the Muslim world was always the Muslim world, not the domain of the conquered Christians. I haven't even mentioned the Islamic conquest of the eastern Christian empire or of India. Read "The History of Jihad" by Robert Spencer and "Sword and Scimitar" by Raymond Ibrahim. The other idea you espoused, that Christianity, not Islam, is the violent religion is laughable. Islam has killed more people than Hitler (including ALL WWII deaths), Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and WWI COMBINED. Christianity doesn't even get an honorable mention in this competition. You're shilling for an evil, very-Nazi-like ideology that is dedicated to DESTROYING everything that is good in the left. You've been sold a bill of goods.

Jesus fucking christ, to imply that a smaller in size, younger and weaker in global terms religion has killed more than all dictators combined and the other who stretched all over the globe, is 2000 years old and which for the last 1700 years controlled the whole planet, notorious for DELETING civilizations for their own conquests, torturing and burning alive bright scientists for their discoveries, burning scientific books and keeping the masses ignorant for dozens of hundred years, waging war to anything that doesnt look like them, even to their own people who believed on the same god. Chrisitianity truly doesnt get an honorable mention in this competition, they were always at the top.
Out of Blue Pills As soon as you mentioned the name Robert Spencer I immediately switched off!😒 Reading books penned or ghostwritten by those who have no knowledge of Islamic history, jurisprudence, culture or even its language does not make you any more knowledgeable about the subject than the average ignorant man on the street who obtains all his information from an equally ill-informed media. You want to understand about Islam and its laws then try talking to a cleric or read material from the perspective of someone who can justify calling himself an authority on the subject because he/she has spent many years studying Quranic interpretation and has mastered the Arabic language, at the very least. Anyone else is merely expressing an opinion and nothing else. And you know what they say about opinions...!🤦🏻♀️
MrAussieJules Funny, ‘ they’ say the same about alleged “ no go zones “ in parts of Britain, that strangely enough don’t actually exist. And the dumb fuckers who lap it up haven’t even visited the alleged ‘ unsafe ‘ areas, much less live there! One born every minute!
Pablo Jay This occasionally happens on British TV: they accidentally get someone with something to say. Unfortunately, it's Ch4 News, broadcast at dinner time, so no one is paying attention anyway. He may as well have been a talking cat. No one in the UK will have noticed. Put him on Newsnight over on BBC2 and everyone's in bed. Poor Cathy Newman looks utterly banjaxed by the whole experience.
Zizek is literally a Marxist and is more left leaning than her. People love to call others who don't agree with them 'leftist bubble'. What didn't she listen in this debate?
hm i have some qualms wish there were some stronger counterpoints cus a lot of this hinges on "i don't like Other's culture so it's okay to practice distance"
He’s openly admitting that he’s not comfortable with many aspects of Islam, given the immense ethical differences between it and western society, it’s not an absurd ideal.
I'm sorry but failed integration is not an excuse to run around killing people. Integration is mostly a failure on the individual's part and only secondarily that of the government or society. You claim that a strong integration push has caused these radicals but much points to the opposite, too low integration pressure. And if you advocate for "distance", then where does it end? Segregation? Homogenous pools of alternative cultures which will increase inequality? How would a government look like that'd try to govern such a mess? In the end you'd have to just throw everyone else out lol...
You can't and shouldn't force integration. Easy to agree. However, if you have two cultures that simply lack the common paradigm that would allow the mutual respect, code of polite ignorance, etc, the conflict is unavoidable -- unless one assimilates into the other. Where does this deadlock lead us? ... Zizek is afraid of posing certain questions, as they are too much of a taboo to the Left. Huntington was not all wrong, and Zizek does not have the balls to face this fact, and his stuck to the marxist determinism even to understand it. In any case, what he says at the beginning of interview about the "Big Picture", the real reasons behind the crisis, is absolutely correct, although I am afraid that he lacks the conceptual tools for actually telling what it is.
We can see this in Canada where different nationals are actually polarized. But I think time will teach us that there are common cultures that end the issue. This time might be very long though; may be when all humanity come to understand that Western Civilization and its basic tenets like liberalism, individualism and tolerance are The way to global peace and prosperity, if any.
I have a question, when he claims to be a communist, is that like super shocking/provocative to people in Slovenia? Like I know how much they hated being under Yugoslavia back in the day.
If islam is another problem for the third world countries beside colonialism, so tell me comrade zizek, why saudi became one of the richest country in the world which also the bastion of wahhabism ideology? I hate wahhabism a lot, but i still dont agree if someone tries to put wahhabism in the same level as western-imperialism / colonialism.
There has been an accumulation of problems over centuries, the divisions have created over the last 100 years or more. International agreements by the selected few (West) to represent billions of people for their own interest is causing the uprising, chaos rightly or wrongly and we need to get real. With human intelligence I’m sure these things can be sorted collaboratively internationally if the few (West) ever want this to occur? We have to face facts and reality.
