I've heard critics constantly call Zizek a homophobe, racist, transphobic and all kinds of colorful titles. Yet I have seen no proof of such claims. Where do these claims honestly come from? If anyone has such views on Zizek and has information to back it up, I would be interested to hear.

Zizek is an ironist in the tradition of Nietzsche.

When he seems to be appropriating right-wing positions and language, he's not doing it out of some deviation to the right, but because he's trying to teach the left a lesson.

What else would you expect from liberals?

Its just liberal bullshit

same with anti DPRK propaganda
the best you might get is some faggot posting a supposedly "tourist guide" talking stupid shit
no real analysis and arguments to be found

You speak like such a diehard fan and yet you've never listened to him speak.

Zizek constantly complains about "muh PC brigade" and defends "western civilization".

He wrote an openly xenophobic against refugees and immigrants in Europe.

He wrote an entire article to bash trans people.

He is constantly trying to appeal to the far right in order to seem more edgy.

Only americans say that, they get triggered extremely easily

take off your shitposting flag pls :D

People don't like to follow him to conclusion and just tack on whatever problem to his premises without understanding the full weight of his process. Am trans and he has said precisely the correct thing about the lgbt community and how gender works, meanwhile white, suburbanite hipsters come to one's defence without warrant, getting triggered over nothing. He's my hero.


I agree with everything except the Nietzsche part. He's admitted somewhere that when he read him he just didn't get much out of it.

This so fucking much. I'm actually working on a video series Rn that introduce zizek's thought process and philosophy so people can understand where he's coming from

Interested in this. If you could share it somewhere visible (this thread?), I'd appreciate it.

Not finished with them yet. I promise they'll be informative and enjoyable to watch though. I was planning this for some time but I realized that I still had some more reading to do.

Have you seen Brendan Mc Cooney's vids? It'll be very similar to those.

I'll make a thread a thread here when I finally get done and put em on jewtube

I have not, thank you.
Good luck with your videos.

Because there is no proof, because there isn't any. Every time he writes something that these retards complain about they demonstrate they clearly misunderstand what he's saying.

Like this idiot here:

What do you think?

When it comes to his defense of the western liberal system against the migrants then he is at least a useful idiot (if not a subverting genius) because the last thing we need is that the western system absorbs and integrates everything with no possible resistance left. We should all exit the system instead.

He has said those things, but he was just being a contrarian or using irony, he doesnt actually mean them

He's an ironist in the tradition of *Socrates*

kek, fucking reddit

Hey at least /r/fullcommunism are joking around when /r/communism is dead serious about North Korea being a socialist country.

A Three Letter Agency in the US, most likely.

Did you even read the fucking article you stupid cunt? He was basically worshiping them as victims of capitalism.

I don't really think so
his point was more that if the left keeps obsessing over sexual and gender identity then we won't ever actually get to attacking capitalism

You forgot one.

It's true, some of the bourgeois are Jewish

HAHAHAHA reddit is that way fagola

Just like Holla Forums


It means he is going the right way

Yeah, but not in the sense that we're inbetween, i.e. "moderate", but because the political imagination today is so one-dimensional that most people can only see those two options. So you have a lot of people that would be radical leftists a few decades ago but today turn to the far-right instead because the liberal technocracy tries to make it seem like any alternative to it is fascism ("there is no alternative"). And so a lot of people who resist the main ideology think "OK, then I guess I'll have to choose fascism".
While we on the left are the ones that are actually standing outside of the system because the system can't even imagine, let alone comprehend our position anymore.

Link these articles pls?

The immigration stuff is from against the double blackmail, I believe. Though, there's an interview and maybe an article where he comments on it somewhere, but I can't find it.

Oh, here's the interview I'm talking about:
