YES! NEW ZIZEK!

Is this the talk one anon said he went to?

Yeah! Let's genocide people and call it a revolution! Woo!

>>7383355
Yes
>>7383410
Genocide was after the revolution

"I explained everything correctly, why should he be allowed to talk?" lmao love u zizzy

> Varoufakis
Dropped. Why would I want to watch that arrogant bald retard that almost killed his country? I love Zizek but I can't stand Varouretard.

lmao he won't shut up

>>7383444
Be fair, he constituted a great rise in the leather industry of Greece.

>>7383444
lol fuck of. Zizek's fun but he's all talk, Varoufakis at least tried to stand up to European capital but his boss sold him out

>>7383355
Yes.
I was at this talk. It was great but I was terrified that a bomb was going to go off, or that someone would burst in with a machine gun.

>>7383553
Why did you think that?

>>7383563
Because it was a couple days after the Paris attacks and I was paranoid. There was absolutely no security at the Southbank center; the event was very politically charged; it was a large room with many people.

I think there was a palpable tension in the auditorium which dissipated as soon as Zizek started making jokes. It was a great experience.

nice books

>>7383455
>Thinks that outcomes matter more than being right.

>>7383350
Slavoj has nice forearms... Does he work out?

Highlight for those who don't have time to watch the whole thing: https://youtu.be/yjxAArOkoA0?t=1h30m40s

At 1:30:40, Zizek starts yelling, "Fuck you" at everybody. I love the left.

>1:56:26

yeah nah, not gonna listen to these irrelevant losers circlejerk for 2 hours. fascism when?

>>7383350
>keks

not even fucking memeing anymore, their whole approach to understanding the migrant crisis and the third world in general is so weakling it hurts.

>>7383350
>FULL ECONOMIC COLLAPSE NOW

Tell us when you graduate high school, we all grow out of the le edgy communist phase ;)

[unless you're full retard]

>>7383350
nice

>>7384107
that fag moderator interrupted him

zizek really is pretty cool

>>7383577
muslims won't attack leftist gatherings lmao

>>7385634
Why not? They attacked a rock concert. Seems to me like they don't discriminate. They just want as big a body count as possible.

Has /lit/ acknowledged that Zizek got completely wrecked by Scruton in his Thinkers of the New Left Book?

I assume that Zizek is treated as a joke here

>>7385649
they are both charlatans so who cares.

>>7385674
But the event was very critical of apologetic liberal Islam-sympathizers and Zizek even says we should condemn it in the strongest terms. Not only ISIS, but that we should attempt to impress our Western Values onto regular immigrant Muslims who arrive at our borders. At one point Assange says that Islam is a threat before having to backtrack to prefix it with "radical".
By modern standards these are conservative sentiments. I'm assuming you neither went to the talk nor bothered to watch the video.

>>7385674
Radical Islam values and morality are much closer to the right than the left though.

>>>/pol/

Remember readers, sage, hide and report these covert /pol/ threads

>>7385694
Most people on /lit/ would like to see these threads. The discussion is between three authors. Their method of discourse draws on several writers: Hegel, Freud, Lacan, Marx and others.

If you would like to talk about story-books in an intellectual vacuum, please go to /r/books or enroll in a university course. Bye bye.

>>7385705
The mods will get rid of your non literature thread soon, it's right in the sticky.

Keep pol in pol.

>>7385686
I know Zizek's stance on the current migrant crisis and it's somewhat reasonable
it also has no traction as an idea and the left has been calling him a fascist because of it

>>7385712
Zizek will never be removed from /lit/, kid. Stop fooling yourself.

>>7385712
If the mods recognise that these threads are popular among the community, they will modify their moderation to suit demand.

>>7385715
I'd say it has plenty of traction. The "left" who are condemning him are not the true left; not in an economic sense. They are the champions of capitalism with a human face that Zizek has described. These people are not as large as their online presence would have you believe.

Those who actually support economically left ideas, (the average working man or woman on the street), will agree with him because they recognize Islam as incompatible with true socialism.

>>7385728
>I'd say it has plenty of traction. The "left" who are condemning him are not the true left
here we go

Nick Land is right tho - there's no non-ideological reason to care anywhere near equally about what happens to those who aren't your friends and allies.

The West cares more particularly about massacres in the West for the same reason one cares more particularly about deaths in their own family. It isn't irrational.

>>7385808
If we stuck only to our instinctual morals then the world
oh.

Slavoj and Yanis - drinking buddies?

I like the philosophical Zizek more than the political Zizek.

Let Yanis talk, fuck Zizek.

>>7383350

This was a great talk. I wish it was just Zizek and Julian though.

Is the Q&A uploaded somewhere?

>okay my reply will be a little bit longer but first you allow me to make a very short statement
