https://bigthink.com/big-think-live/slavoj-zizek-live

To whom it may concern: Žižek is going live in 15 minutes. Let's discuss here what he has to say about the pandemic and the BLM riots.

>You know, I'm thinking of this dirty joke *sniff*, the Serbian guy smells the ass of the Croatian guy and so on and then they shake hands ahaha
>But my claim here, is that old-school Leninists, like Stalin, were in a sense idealists. Idealism was the Big Other, and they tried, *sniff* ironically, to hide this by justifying the regime as dialectical, like oh mein gott, this is the last stage of socialism, and Stalin is the logical conclusion of nature, blahblahblah, you know...
>It's like, *sniff* I'm sorry to repeat myself here, coffee without cream...

But what if the Based Dept. was precisely unbased? I know, *sniff*, my claim is outrageous, but based ideology is like an undead zombie, repeatedly castrating its subject and so on. You will never fuck a harem with thousands of Serbian women like Chad so why bother haha *sniff*. In other words, Chad IS the Big Other.

You will never be in control of a harem with thousands of Serbian women like Chad so why bother haha *sniff*. In other words, Chad vs. Virgin memes are the Big Other.

>But what if NPCs are not characterized by an absence of imagination, introspection and so on, but precisely by an excess of it? The true NPC, I claim, cannot play the game because he is paralyzed by the Big Other. He cannot fulfill his desire to act upon the outside world and retreats within his internal monologues, away from ordinary society. He doesn't play because he feels castrated.
>But yet, and this is the paradox here, we need to retreat to be able to act meaningfully on the outside world, and escape predominant ideology.
>This is why I claim, we should all become NPCs.

>Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek says he would opt for Donald Trump as the apparently less dangerous choice in the US election.

Hegel is essential for high level 21st century memes.

So is Zizek a meme or is he really liked on here?
