Who would have thought.

Zizek, slavoj. Dislike him. A cheap sensationalist, clumsy and verbose. A communist, a claptrap novelist and a slapdash custodian. Some of his scenes are extraordinarily dull. Nobody takes his inaccessible Marxism seriously.

A grandiloquent clown. Zizek's buffoonery is so patent that it unites in disdain absolutely everyone above a certain level of intelligence, in absolutely perfect undifferentiated unanimity. If anyone listens to this with even mild approbation, they do stand inescapably below this intellectual ceiling; not probably; not almost certainly but perforce and automatically.

When you claim that someone is empirically mistaken, even in a single instance let alone "often", you immediately adopt the onus of providing a verbatim quote, not a mangled beyond recognition paraphrase, of at bare minimum one empirical proposition posited by your opponent, followed by your specific evidence to the contrary. You automatically and exclusively commit yourself to this rational option and no other.

If what follows is anything else, anything at all, you instantaneously expurgate from your audience absolutely every genuinely intelligent person - every single one - who pays you the slightest attention for any reason apart from trivial amusement.

And yes, just for that.

Is that a Nabokov meme ?
Can't tell.

Resentment. Light of my life, fire of my brains. My sin, my fuel. Re-sent-ment: the trip of my tongue zigzagging back, forward, then concluding with a definitive labial movement, the finality of the t resounding like a bell in my head. Reeee. Sent. Ment.

It was hate, plain hate, in the morning, at ten till four on the clock. It was rage to pay tax. It was anger on the dotted line. But in my amygdala, it will always be resentment.

Happy birthday my man, you have opened my eyes on quite a few issues and I wish that you'd go on doing that for another decade at the very least. Much love <3

but Nabokov loved Zizek

[Anonymous No.12802500]

Nabokov loathed Marx and was dead decades before Zizek was remotely relevant.
