Nah, go for it Anon. Zizek is not the kind of guy who's going to tell you to go burn cars.

Except there's a bunch of stuff in linguistics that's almost got nothing to do with Chomsky. Hell, Chomsky didn't even change what the previous linguists had done, because his approach to language is completely different from theirs. The funniest thing about Chomsky is that he complains about Zizek et al. because of "theory", when his contributions are largely theoretical and it was the previous (and current) linguists that went into the Amazon and the Himalayas or spent decades reading and deciphering texts to compile the corpi that Noam then could take and abstract to say *he* found the Holy Grail because he could draw fucking schemata.

Check out the fight he had with Zizek:
>Chomsky: Zizek and his ilk are clowns, I don't see any value in their work and therefore it has no substance; read this authors I approve instead.
>Zizek: I respect Chomsky, but he was wrong by his own rules and supported the Khmer Rouge; what I'm getting at is that this kind of empiricism is more damaging than good.

And before you start thowing citations about who said what about Cambodia for the quadrillionth time, please get it through your head (like Chomsky can't) that the "facts" aren't what this is about. You don't help people by getting on a high horse, saying you're correct so you don't have to have any gratitude or humor.

>mfw my boss just tells people 'we don't have enough manpower for our employees to take breaks' and acts like this somehow solves the problem that, legally, after a certain shift length, people are required to get some kind of break
>mfw he doesn't make people sign waivers
>mfw he hasn't been sued for violating labor laws in the year I've worked for him despite this and a corroded fire extinguisher with a rusted out bottom being the only flame retardant on the premises of the establishment

>All discourse is a debate between left and right
There you go again.
The Alt Right is pure liberalism, by the way.

And so on and so on...

Zizek is just an edgy contrarian.

No. He's just an contrarian who tries to be edgy.

He listens to classical music only when he writes.


>germanic pagan mythology
Wich is a focal part of his music.
Did you expect him to talk about counterpoint and harmony? Of course he was going to talk about the themes of the drama.

>and hearing him trying to twist to fit into some marxist narrative is cringeworthy
Given how close was Wagner to anarchist movements till his later year, it's not that far fetched.

>It's a "/pol/ finds out Zizek doesn't like multiculturalism but he is still a communist so that means he is a kike" episode

Read: "First as tragedy, then as Farce", "Violence" and "Welcome to the Desert of the Real".

dank you very much
