share ONE of the interesting ideas. I dare you

That ideology works not in the level of ideas and thoughts, but in our actions, which are structured by fundamental phantasies that sustain our being. In this way, even knowing the truth about ideology people still follow it. I'm not the OP, but the whole idea of ideology being a fundamental structure of our reality instead of "bad and evil ideas" is interesting at least to me. Also, the idea that hysterical subjects are those who can refuse ideological interpellations.

Difficult is the Lacan stuff, not because it's so complex, but because Lacan is a bullshit merchant and you have to patiently wait for him to transfer everything into a redundant diagram and attach a Lacanian label to.

It's a handy variation of the old truism about modern political utopias working like faith. In that it shows how that shit can also work just as well without a pre-existing faith framework to copy (e.g. North Korea).

Maybe the best reason to read it is as a look at what came out of the decadent/collapsing Soviet Bloc period - it's Marxism in a hyper cynical self destructive mode and it's just interesting to see what sort of dissidents a self-decalred revolutionary political system produces.

So he used the definition of culture for ideology and wrote 100000 words on the common sense functioning of culture, while quoting Hegel?

Why do people hate Zizek without reading him?

>>16918689
True. Do people read here at all? Personally if the right kind of idiot hates a philosopher it just compels me to read them. This thought can be applied outward exponentially. I want to be the opposite of a 4chan shitposter that never reads, always comments, and gets his worldview from one-sided memes. I imagine many feel this way. How do we defeat Tribalism has Zizek written about that or any other philosophers hated by the all too common lit vacationer? Maybe a female? Maybe even a black female. Has Angela Davis written about tribalism and or the neckbeard lifestyle?

>>16918302
no, the part hes describing is only mentioned in the first chapter, many more ideas are developed in the book
