Zizekist for life

I'm not a leftie myself, but Zizek is bang on about high culture, and his Hegelian critique of Marxism is fascinating.

He show "twice..." with four fingers! genious!

His brain works in ALL directions at light speed. Voltaire of our days. ŽIŽEK Slavoj, made in SFR JUGOSLAVIJA.

Thanks for that. What a worthwhile thing to say!

Looks like I need to read up on this Alain Badiou guy, because I love listening to people who share my opinions.

Still one of the best slavboj talks

One of his best

That's very interesting, and I refer to that TED talk where Barry Schwartz makes the exact same thesis.

@Corey Vaughn thank you very much

You, otoh sound so interesting and intelligent. My god, when are you going to do a talk so we can all blissfully hear your remarkable stories?

How come I keep missing Žižek's talks in the Netherlands?

which building is that at the beginning?

where do you get your numbers on the victims?

As to Assange I take it that Zizek's claim is he that is being extradited unfairly based on the fact that Sweden has no law like the one he will be prosecuted for if extradited. Was he not charged with rape? If so, then surely Sweden has outlawed that as well and the extradition would be fair and valid. Zizek says that he was arrested for using the wrong kind of condom or something... If that bizarre law is in existence then Sweden wouldn't have outlawed it and Zizek's point is well taken.

haha, thanks man, i just missed it. that's a funny line on the front of it, i just wanted to know the style of architecture.

where do they find these kids to share the stage with Zizek

thank god zizek has all these vices, it makes it easy to identify right wing youtube commenters who think it a stroke of genius to launch ad hominen attacks

Slavoj would love the theme "We hate everyone" by Type O Negative. :P

It's a nervous tick he has. The rapid speech and high energy are just his personality.

Filosoofy.

"your motto should be 'I believe in free thought'"

he's always saying "and so on and so on"

Why are his physical attributes of more interest than his words?

same here.

>> This is the material weight of ideology: Our [...] "political imagination" is so constrained, that it doesn't work [to think of another form or type of society]. As my friend Fred Jameson put it[...]: It's easy to imagine the end of the world or the end of time... You know: All these boring movies... [an] Asteroid hitting the earth or whatever... but it's impossible to imagine a slight change in capitalism[.] All life on earth can be annihiliated, but somehow capitalism will go on.

His mind is far, far more interesting than anything else, don't twist things

i was going to watch 5 seconds but it was interesting and i finished it. no sarcasm seriously

Perhaps I haven't grasped what you just said properly, but to be "anti" towards any race is to be racist, so for an anti racist to be anti white would result in a paradox. Also anti racists are merely against racism, not necessarily race distribution in itself; what I believe to be the core principle for anti racism is for no one to be treated in any way shape or form due to the race they belong in - in other words everyone gets a fair stake at life no matter their race - not 'white people bad'

I would say if you truly want to be anti-racist you need to remove the whole black/white categories all together except for instances where it actually is relevant. Like when leftists have a critique that “there are too many white people represented in X” I can’t help but feel they view the world entirely through race, out of all the things you could define people by you decide to use skin color and call it race. To me it sounds like you are anti-nazi but still call jewish people rats, the attempt is there but they are still using the exact same language as racists and thus perceive the world limited by the superficial color codes of people.

0:23 translation girl! :D

I am not trying to hate, or troll, but, can I ask if Zizek snorts cocaine? 1.Rapid speech 2.High energy 3.Constantly touching his nose...... or, someone tell me if he has some sort of respiratory or nasal condition..... I am at loss here

20:40 - "from Plato too NATO- use too say when I was young" hAHahAhaHA

Ow noo its based on human decency man! That is what anyone would pursuit^^

So you did precisely what Zizek said: you "did something and didn't think about it". You just failed to understand him completely.

I like Zizek generally but what he says about domestic/international law. He claims one can be prosecuted in Texas for sodomy or having too many sex toys. This old Texas law was intentionally tested in the courts by almost forcing the police to arrest two men engaging in sodomy and then to prosecute the two men. The US Supreme Court struck down this law and would strike down the "too many sex toys" law too but no one has ever cared to test it partially because no one will be arrested for this

No hahahahahaha, there is a conspiracy that he did on purpose so people would think so, or he might just have a runny nose like me

If the mustache hairs are tickling his nose, then he should shave them. He does make a lot of good points, though.

dude what

Like the USA

he has anxiety problems

About 37:00 it sounds like Jesus = Trump for Christians

Is the guy into cocaine, hyperactive or what? Nice speech BTW.

In praise of centralized power? Shame on him.
