God I fucking hate this smug cunt so much.
Her jokes are not funny, her drawing style gives me eyeycancer and you can smell le quirky oh-so-enlightened-but-also-anxious tumblr gruuulll from everyone of her drawings.

Makes me want to rip out her guts through her mouth while chopping up her hands.

And so on and so on...

>>9590396
Thats because that would be stupid and it would make no sense

>>9590378
This is spooky accurate

>>9590396
hitler was a total failure though. why would you expect idolizing losers to make you popular and successful?

>>9590469
the autism it takes to post this as a troll is disconcerting, much less to post it unironically

>>9590553
nah it's just a few quotes from meme videos. you can tell the guy who made this spent 15 minutes looking up zizek on youtube and never read any of his books.

>>9590578
so like 99% of people who have an opinion on zizek?

>>9590363
He's not wrong

>>9590585
i don't see how that's an excuse.

>>9590330
true

>>9590549
>>9590557
The point I was making is that Zizek gets leniency for tongue-in-cheek promoting his totalitarian vision of a communist utopia while right-wing intellectuals of a much more moderate calibre are granted no such preferential treatment and are in fact ostracized by the cultural establishment.

>>9590578
I watched tens of hours of Zizek material and read 100 or so pages of Sublime Object of Ideology and I agree with the overall criticism presented in that meme.
He doesn't seem to have anything relevant to say. And whenever he dabbles in anything historical he seems profoundly wrong

>>9590641
>right-wing
>intellectual
who?
Sloterdijk?

>>9590469
You have demons. I'm dead serious.

>>9590641
he does not actually promote a "totalitarian vision of a communist utopia". the whole point of his work is that such a vision is no longer possible. a dude talking about hegel and lacan while occasionally joking about gulags is not some totalitarian menace.

your insistence on the supposed oppression of unspecified right-wing thinkers just reads like a persecution complex.

>>9590689
what's the overall criticism in the meme? that he uses anecdotes?

>>9590641
>right-wing intellectuals

kek

>>9591100
No the criticism is that all he's saying here is that action is less meaningful than thought.
Everything that he says is puffed up in the extreme by his affectations and idiosyncrasies and that somehow makes people think that whatever he's saying is more profound.
The criticism is that he says very little in a much too convoluted way and then fails to support his arguments with actual material.

Essentially a creator of intellectual mud as most of what he says ends up being meaningless or historically indefensible.

Seriously "I hope Trump wins because it will shake up the establishment and send a wake-up call"
That sentiment is absolutely retarded. And there's many more like it. All very abstruse with little content of value beneath the muck

>>9590469
good post

>>9590330
Finally someone sensible.

>>9591138
Yeah, I may not be qualified to speak much but I can't imagine trying to study Zizek seriously as an intellectual. I've read some articles and essays by him and seen some interviews by him and he seems funny and entertaining but I can't imagine wasting my time reading a full book by him. He seems like a pop-intellectual, but I don't necessarily hate him. It's just what he does.

>>9590414
>tfw you begin a letter with:

>>9591138
>someone rips a bunch of quotes out of their contexts and pastes them together
>the only quote with any of its original point remaining is about thought over action
>therefore that's all he was talking about in any of them

Oh

>>9591138
>Everything that he says is puffed up in the extreme by his affectations and idiosyncrasies and that somehow makes people think that whatever he's saying is more profound.

so once again the criticism is all about the youtube meme content and not his actual work, which is in his books.

i know him primarily from his writings on lacan, which i read before i even knew he was a youtube meme. the idiosyncrasies of his public speaking are obviously not present in the writing and my whole impression of him was precisely the opposite of yours: that reading lacan himself was like wading through mud and zizek manages to extract from it really insightful observations and present them in a straightforward way, with fun anecdotes and examples from hitchcock. i never had the impression that zizek obfuscates anything, if anything it's the opposite.

this is the stuff that made him famous academically (and the stuff on hegel that i might get into at some point although it like i will need some prep on hegel). it's his actual work. the rest of it is random rambling lectures and interviews he does for money and which people then mine for clickbait. who cares what he said about trump to some random journalist?

>>9589597
Which one of the two is Jane Austen.

Your god does not exist, m8.

>>9590423
I think it's the use of "goes to 4chan", as opposed to "is on 4chan" combined with "encounters unnecessary hate", suggesting the author's perspective is that of an outsider to 4chan that really tips me off, they should probably lurk moar

>>9590330
I'm with you on that, I hate her as well.

>>9591135
Brilliant

i like the 'the winter is cold and harsh, just like my father'-one

>>9590641
That, picture... something about it is so, profound. What's that from? I mean, I know Garfield, but is that really Jim Davis's work?

>>9591000
>>9591120
>>9592499
Yes, right-wing intellectuals.

>>9591206
It's funny how true this is.

>>9591096
He does say over and over again "I am not joking, if I were given power I would put people into the gulags"

>>9592674
Yes, it's really old Garfield which had a way different art style.

>>9592730
Yeah that's how jokes work. It's supposed tobe silly. And the example here does include a punchline..

>>9592730
you can see someone who made this genuinely has autism and made it to analysis the humor they don't quite grasp

>>9590330
Quintessentially /lit/

>>9590500
I feel like there needs to be a comic like this, but with Herman Melville writing to Nathaniel Hawthorne.

>>9592874
*infects you*

>>9592863
yeah and if i had power i would ban anime. i am not joking, i really would. am i a totalitarian menace now?

it's a joke. him saying he's serious is part of the joke. what makes it a joke is that he's an academic that will never have political power. i really don't see how you can not see it's a joke unless you're actively looking for things to be offended about.

There is more to the political right than larping white nationalists. Sloterdijk is a good example but I think he seldomly searches the political limelight. He is much more somebody who floats certain ideas in the prepolitical cultural space, like test balloons.

>>9592730
Stop being an unfunny faggot

I am not an SJW but I'm starting to be baffled by the amount of things people on this board hate if they are made by a woman

>>9590378

Makes me want schum fucking fruit juicesh.

>>9593585
women are funny GET OVER IT SHITLORDS

>>9590414
This illustrates it perfectly, though.
She's not making a literary reference because she knows the material but because someone mentioned it and she spent a few minutes on google.

>>9593613
So she is /lit/ in a nutshell?

>>9593613
so what? it's not like she's pretending she knew about it all along. what's wrong with looking things up?

>>9592684
lmao

>>9591206

>only canadian lit i've read is alice munro
>checks out

>>9593695
She does pretend it in every other comic she makes, though. I'm not surprised you missed that point

>>9593558
>if i had power i would ban anime. i am not joking, i really would.

The jokes aren't funny, but I would have sex with all of these characters. She should do porn of famous literary figures and then maybe I would like her.
