>tfw you find out your prof dedicates his life to sabotaging your race and insulting your culture and finding another person knowledgeable enough to figure out what he's doing is next to impossible.

Recommended videos, as well as all other rec things online, ads and so on, are just things that will ruin your mind and encapsulate yourself in a bubble full of misery. Youtube doesn't have a poor taste or any taste at all, it is merely reflecting the poor taste of other people who will watch one and the other and so they get recommended to you and you think that they are relevant. It is in this way that you'll never see Zizek associated with a video of boomerang championship in Mongolia, or with a lecture about farming in Chile, or a tutorial of how to take nail polish out. In other words, things that were not yet associated but that, *sniff*, my god, you could!

To put it simply, the tendency is to repeat itself, repeat itself, repeat itself. Now you're here talking about Chomsky next to Zizek and it's okay for you to do so, even to complain about how one is much better than the other, but because you're talking about it, you fail to see the big picture that it was not you that put one and the other together, not even Youtube, as if it had an agency of its own delineating what you ought to think, but a straight repetition of past combinations of tags and watched videos carried out by Youtube.

And the thread unravels itself, people now talking about Chomsky and Zizek together, as told to them by OP, as told by Youtube, as told by the collective of other Youtube users and so on and so on.

I need to stop using /lit/ for a while. Please ban me mods.
You guys can help me by reporting this thread, thank you.

What does this fat fuck mean by ideology and why is it bad? Aren't his ideas also ideology?

if i want to read about the "abyss of the image" or the image as eternal and transcending the real, what book should i read? (think the story of the two boys running away from nazi dogs you know the one)

I want to know
What does /lit/ think about Zizek?

>ghandi was more violent than hitler
>we are violent

Marxists, everyone.

What's the difference between a desire and an ideal?

>"If anyone is bothering you about why they gave us, I don't know, some money and so on... all that.
>Here we have to be completely brutal. For example you told me some people were complaining about the high cost, you see because we don't get that much money.
>We had the same problem in London in a conference about Communism. Some pseudo-leftists were whining "But how is it 50 dollars!"
>Well I can tell you why! Because that was a conference about Communism and not about the 'suffering of animals' and 'children who suffer'. And all these silly philanthropic themes. For the theme of Communism there wasn't any good Soros to give us money.
>Most of us paid our own way, the institution Birkebeck even gave us a bill for the room precisely because we didn't have any of these sponsors.
>We obviously didn't get any honorarium. Just for some people who couldn't, we paid their card, some hotels (I paid my own), and the lecture area of course, and so on.
>Which means, you know, we live in brutal Capitalism, and instead of paying for it, we should brutally use it.
>The problem isn't some idiot in power giving you money. Take the money! Take the Money!
>But take it without moralistic feelings of guilt.
>The next day kill him, and if he says "But I gave you money", tell him, "You Idiot, why did you give me the money".
>Here there's no room for moralism. Be brutal.
>If we live in Capitalism, then we live in Capitalism. Take the money wherever you can without any feeling of responsibility.
>They give us money not because they like us but because they think it's chic or in that way they make a spectacle and so on...
>Let them live in their illusions. That much better for us."

Our dear Slavoj.

I just have this image sitting here, but it's been a while and I haven't thought of anything to post about Zizek, so instead of just trying to disguise my desire to post this image with the excuse of a thoughtful and funny post, I'll just post it anyway because it is a very good picture.
