Today’s left is a totally different ideology than say Marx’s left, same could be same about the right. It’s a very complex phenomenon, it doesn’t matter whether you identify with right or left, the truth is that everyone seems to be at struggle even within themselves.

Perhaps their sense of personal identity is so tied up in being radical, in pushing the boundaries, that they can't allow themselves to dare consider the wisdom of those that have gone before them.

@@genzcurmudgeon8037 Check out the famous quote by H.L. Mencken about simple answers to complex problems.

You live on a spiritual battlefield. There are those who serve the light and those who love darkness. Blood has been spilt and men have died.

The answer is much simpler than heard here : Since Antiquity, there has been a conceptual opposition between Logos, which is idealistic, objective and universal, and Pathos, which is skeptical, subjectve and individualistic. Across generations, thinkers attempting to understand the World, Society, and the Living creature, have posited conflicting ideas on the basis of what vantage point they were trying to understand these subjects from. From the early days of Pythagoras, when they were idealists, they said that appearances belie the Truth, yet that we are analogues of the world and as such, equipped to make sense of it objectively. From the early days of Heraclitus, when they were Sophists, Skeptics, Hedonists or eventually medieval Nominalists, they posited that the world cannot be known in itself and that there are no universals, no objective truth ; that agency is all that matters. With Aristotle and Kant, the two sides of the argument found an efficient synthesis, as Hegel would have pointed out. But in Brentano and Nietzsche, Husserl, Kierkegaard and Heidegger, the ancient trope of Parmenide and Heraclitus resurfaced. During the 20th century, in the wake of Kurkheim's sociology and the idealist undertones of Structural Anthropology, many left-leaning intellectuals fascinated by Nietzsche's rejection of ideals and by the neo-sophistry of phenomenology, posited again, that the world and society cannot be known objectively, and that agency, transactional power structures - and language - were the only world we could act upon. This came to a head with Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze and Lyotard, in Post-structuralism and post-modernism. But it led nowhere, except when it crossed the Atlantic, and it became the driving force in Critical, Gender and Race Theory, De-Colononialism, Intersectionality and other chimeras. But it boils down to the same old dilemma : Is the world objective, reason-able ("Logos" in Greek) ; is human biology and experience rooted in the same operating structures, or is there no shared reality, is everything merely culture and narrative - Pathos ? The problem as always is that both sides tell one aspect of reality, and that Truth is the sum of these parts. The vehement, irreconciliable binary opposition between overly dogmatic camps, makes us forget that the combination of idealism and empiricism has been successfully made throughout history, notably in the works of Aristotle, Kant and Hegel. The world has an objective reality and we are linked by universal factors, obligatorily from that fact, yet the variety of human subjective experience cannot be denied and it is an object in itself. The fact that we're still debating between Logos and Pathos today, only makes us human. What bothers, is that it is accompanied by a lot of anxiety, and a lot of neuroticism. The social tension that underlies this, has nothing to do with metaphysics and everything to do with materialistic needs. People are tense because the physical walls that used to keep communities separate, have now been made ineffective by the era of social media. Individuals and communities suddently find themselves in one gigantic open-plan office space, and it makes a lot of people uncomfortable. People puff their chest... it's all animal behaviour. But it will pass.

....You should have a look at mathematical models that make large language model AI's work.....Kinda seems like that sort of approach to relationships was an inevitability in order for the culture to adapt to the current information environment. I think the engineering word multiplexing would best apply to the changes happening to culture. A world where one is member to multiple tribes and those relationships start taking on more precedence than the current political groupings/ affiliations. Intersectional thought processes seem much better at resolving that ways of relating to one another. Seeing it as bi/multilatteral communicative process as opposed to a battle might be start. Battling insinuates one taking precedence over the other, why not an oscillation?

True

Battle-lines are the same as they have always been: those who can dominate VS those who are dominated. This never seems to change because we humans have not yet collectively recognized we actually DO have other options to survive. As Zizek points out in the US, this line has blurred some because the Right, who has always relied on domination, particularly rather cruel forms of it, are now dealing with an increasing number of those on the Left who are using domination too (this is Cancel Culture, MeToo, etc). Instead of the Left challenging domination and making a case for those other options, such as nurturing and critical thinking, they are cluelessly using the same weapon against their opposition that their opposition uses against them. Sad they can't see it won't work.

@@defnlife1683 Real change can only come when we realize what so many great thinkers were trying to tell us: the only true freedom is the freedom from fear. Not, as the Left would believe, by eliminating anything that creates fear (like domination and bullying). Or as the Right believes which is if they can freely dominate others without consequence, they can be free. Instead it is more a recognition that we can feel fear but still choose to do the right thing and respect the agency of others (even when they are not doing so to us). This way fear doesn't control us. This is what then makes us truly "free". This type of person is what Nietzsche was trying to describe with his concept of the Ubermensch. Until anyone on either side recognizes this, learns mindfulness to consciously regulate fear and stop choosing bullying and domination as a response to it, the battle will just be over who gets to use it as a weapon and nothing will essentially change. Sad they can't see that the real battle should be over making a logical, rational and objective case for why we need to stop using it in the first place.

That was an interesting discussion indeed but the way i see it, there are no specific parameters anymore, in my opinion they no longer exist , politicians do whatever they want on the other hand people would also want to do whatever they want , and the world is just scrambled , which is the same reason why i am so convinced that democracy itself is just another form of dictatorships just as Socrates pointed out long time ago , ironically he lost his life for it. The man was truly a sage. Not to mention all the redundant ideologies carried on but religious parties which doesn't reflect any religious nobility. So i came to the conclusion of "Screw everybody, i take care of myself - i judge myself and you stay out of it" As simple as it sounds.

big respect to zizek ❤️

They started speaking about the ideological battles in the world, but the conversation suddenly headed to US politics, in part as an example, but I think is, to a large extent, restrictive.

The battle line in the US is the product of our understandable and rightful societal insecurity which the pundits have made ideological. The spin doctors and the media have polarized us to a tipping point and leadership continues to cater to this divide even as the danger of violence escalates. Too much has gone wrong for too many and I think the future is bleak.

Problems can be resolved through discussion but discussion is possible only if we have the same values. If one side sees bunch of sells and other side sees baby in discussion about abortion - is compromise possible there? Both sides are passionate about their beliefs and it is important for them. When in the question where life begins - consensus is found- we are in half way.

SOCIAL MEDIAAAAAAA

With the alt right now characterising itself as the "dissident right" and the "sensible center" this should tell you something of how the lines have altered. "Cthulu always swims Left" as they say over there.

A discussion between the opposing view points would have been more valuable.

Slavoj Zizek and Yuval Noah Harari have pinpointed the culprit that is dividing American society and at 2:44 into this videocast, I submit that I am not qualified in any way compared to these scholars and world-renown thinkers, but I believe I have a solution for the American societal fracture that may re-unite opposing political parties and I know this is going to be difficult for Mr Zizek and Mr Harari to accept, because it is probably too utopian of an idea, but here goes. The problem is that people have so much time on their hands. In fact, looking into one's neighbor's backyard and finding something to complain about----I am just trying to make a point----is rampant and the only way for it to stop is to change the narrative and that means to replace the outdated American individualist or whatever the mindset is that is causing so much unnecessary commotion and the like. My solution is in the mind. Children from 2 to 72 need to ask themselves this one question: What is my greatest challenge in life? And: go for it now. I can guarantee you that when you are going for your greatest challenge, you don't have time to hate anybody or worry about what your neighbor is doing. This might even be what should be preached to the world and maybe all the wars will stop. Slavoj and Yuval could dissect this idea and make it work for the average person to understand better than I ever could, but this is my two cents in trying to calm things down and get everyone going for a good life...

Yes, it is in a way normative but it is worth considering the extent to which the presence of ideological positions is an inverse function of the the differences and tribal individuation through (and as) which ideological positions percolate to ascendance. From a complex systems science perspective, we might consider the dissociative discontinuities that give rise to a perceived need (or identification of) ideological positions as being both the cause and consequence of such belief systems. Harari and Zizek discuss the "what" of this topic and yes it is interesting but the underlying philosophical question of "why" remains conspicuously absent as a owing frame of intellectual reference.The assumption, perhaps acknowledged in parts of this dialogue not displayed here, is that ideological difference is normative, inevitable.

Maybe the reason the big things (geopolitical, economic etc) don't appear to matter is because our parties in democracies generally agree more or less on those issues (ie all cling to the sacred middle ground which is what voters like) and so politicians have had to find another way of appealing to their electorates. They decided to go for culture wars instead. So now all the news focuses on these issues. It seems to me these cultural issues are easier to understand (populism in other words). We all understand racism, abortion, transgender and so can easily comprehend these issues when they are portrayed in a good and evil sense but may struggle with currencies, interest rates, international relations in the diplomatic sense. As an example we all get what wars are about if it's put in a good and evil narrative. That's much easier than looking at underlying causes, longer historical grievances and so on. And politicians and the media love pushing little good and evil stories leaving out the other side's (ie the 'evil' side's) point of view. So by the time the media has finished (egged on by politicians trying to win votes) you get the sort of internal hatred now on show. No-one (except a few of us) even bothers to try and see the other's point of view any more. Shame.

The conversation revolves around the main ideological battle lines in today's world, touching on the emergence of new geopolitical blocks, the breakdown of traditional left and right political distinctions, and the increasing hatred and fear within countries such as the United States. The speakers argue that the opposition between moderate left and right has been replaced by a more complex, dynamic struggle that encompasses both the alt-right and the politically correct, MeToo left-liberal mainstream. They also discuss the erosion of unwritten procedural rules, citing the Bush vs. Al Gore election as an example of a time when both sides accepted the outcome even though it was contested. One speaker highlights the false conflict between alt-right and left-liberal mainstream, arguing that the true opposition is missing in today's political landscape. They also mention the increasing radicalism of the Republican party, with some states openly proclaiming that Biden is not a legitimate president and preparing for the next elections in a way that threatens democratic norms. Additionally, the speakers discuss how the current struggle can be seen as an extension of the process described in the Communist Manifesto, where all old patriarchal hierarchic relations dissolve under capitalism. They argue that this process has now reached levels unimaginable even to Marx, extending to sexual identity and personal choice. In conclusion, the conversation delves into the changing nature of ideological battle lines, the breakdown of traditional political distinctions, and the rising animosity within nations. This dynamic struggle is viewed as part of a larger process of change within society, leading to an uncertain and complex political landscape.
