Slavoj Žižek: What the Liberal Left Doesn’t Want to Hear

that's a redundant statement to make.

I heard Zizek say that some day rape will be called "enhanced seduction technique" but here in colombia when a cop or a soldier rapes a woman the press call it "inproper carnal acess"
Somebody should tell Zizek about that.

I'm very concerned after seeing this lecture
How do we get stronger and stop fascism before history repeats
Cassandra up in this like no ever before.

...

god damn it zizek

TOP FUCKING KEK!!

LIBS WONT RECOVER FROM THIS!!

So what is this fucker's problem with transpeople exactly?

He wasn't born with the porn we have today.

it's a 2 min webm clip from the 2 hour lecture in OP, faggot, calm the fuck down. Try watching the video to understand the context before sperging out…

...

I think it's because he's a Lacanian. They're generally pretty shitty to the queer community.

Not a bad thing. If people could make arguments and not spout off "read x" we'd be a lot better off.

Maybe you should try reading it again after having watched the introduction, you illiterate fag.

This is genius.

Absolute madman

As far as academic feminists go, ronell is one of the best

Holy shit Zizek is becoming more and more sinnery.

...

I was absolutely sure I had typed 'sinnery'.
Is this a freudian slip? What do you think it means?

Yeah it was fucking horrifying
Congrats you read a few philosophers and namedropped as much to make a completely incoherent point and even so much as appropriated radical thinkers to further your shitty Clinton liberalism.

Right. It's a word filter.

Do people here actually think that Zizek has anything to contribute to revolutionary theory and praxis?

Nobody claims he's a revolutionary theorist.
Zizek is a culture critic from a leftist viewpoint, not much more

just checking

He's not a theorist, just a culture critique and a philosopher.

You have to go back.

I know she and Zizek get along and all, but she comes across like the most basic academic - just quote a bunch of well known names and don't bring anything to the conversation.

LEFTCOMS BTFO

They really aren't: e-flux.com/journal/32/68246/sexual-difference-and-ontology/.

Lacanians actually approach the question with more than the Greerian/"TERF" style of resorting to pure scientism when they approach the question of gender. And in many ways, because Lacanians themselves see gender as a category you can never establish (because sexual relations are inherently phantasmic, and that you are always subjectivized to your problems in sexuation), essentially concluding that gender is a "spook" (a social construct, but one that we can never even consistently map in our own noggins), to put it in terms Holla Forums will easily understand.

Read text above bls, and if you want to supplement that read PDF related.

You lied to me, that's exactly what it was.
Zizek's biggest flaw is how much he recycles material. He bitches a bit about being banned from all major publications, which is bad, but I know The New York Times (I think it was) has "banned" him because he wrote for them an opinion piece that had huge sections copied from a book he published, and for good reason, the New York Times does not republish things for opinion pieces. they didn't catch it, so it got published, but later when it was brought to their attention they published a retraction. that was his own damn fault.

He didn't mention the refugee crisies once and didn't drop a single mention on his Parallax View parallels besides at the beginning where he vaguely reasserts the pure ideology of so-called post-ideological societies. Any repitition after this involves him mentioning examples he's used before, and he explicitly says he repeats himself in these instances, because in spite of this they're incredibly useful examples.

Source me on this. Because NYT ban started after his commentaries on the Roma problem in Slovenia (a commentary on the pseudo-universality of liberalism), which made a whole bunch of people call him a racist.

I liked his point that even if trannies were accepted by society it would never ease their anxiety because they are human and all humans suffer from such things.

"it doesnt get better kill youreselves" - uncle slobo

holy this woman makes me cringe in ways that were previously un-felt at 1:20:40 where she says he's projecting and then says she said thanks 'in a very Nietzschean way' holy moly batman

I saw this exact thing on Holla Forums months ago. Is Zizek literally fucking reading Holla Forums?

it's been happening for years

Doubt it; it's not really hard to come up with. He might know about Holla Forums though via that one Holla Forums sperg who mentioned the board in a Q&A.

well 4chan is pretty famous, im sure lots of people you wouldn't believe have probably posted on it by now.
As for leftypol, i think it intrigues leftists who arent uptight and critical of idpol.
It also makes other internet lefty sites mad as fuck.
I have recently come to the idea that image boards in general are the antithesis to identity politics.
Its completely anonymous, you arent black, or white, or male, or female, you just are, and when you post anonymously, all the masks come off, its the pure nuget core of a human being, the true thoughts.
And also shitposting .

...

you apparently haven't read enough Zizek to know when he is recycling content
opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/09/03/isis-is-a-disgrace-to-true-fundamentalism/?_r=0
only thing I can find he wrote for NYT about Gypsies was a decade ago, so it can't be that.

People also complained Bauman recycled his own content as well. Who the fuck cares: if it is an important point of his theory, and he thinks he needs to repeat it - so be it.

Fucking liberal thinking, ie. "he has to write NEW things on the same subjects! he needs to adjust himself to the market of academic 'ideas' ".

How can one man be so based?

How can one man embody the whole of leftypol political world view

...

someone has a tl;dr?
I have a very busy schedule right now.

Wouldn't you rather bookmark it and watch it later rather than get it in short by proxy?

Class Binaries are old.

I'm full Zizekian, but if you listen to enough of his talks, you end up with "yeah, he said that in 10 other talks already" "oh, yeah, I know that joke" and so on.

He's unmasking the insanity of society, so of course he wouldn't pander to insane people

I'm over 1 hour into the video and literally everything he said is something i've head in other Zizek lectures. This guy repeats himself way too much.

That introduction at the beginning was cringe worthy. OMG TRUMP IS HITLER

What's your problem with comprehension, exactly?

Are they, really?

Did he now?

umm don't u know anime is reactionary and anti-lgbt?? delete ur post u brocialist

Explain Holla Forums, then.
