    Slavoj Žižek is back. The Slovenian Marxist philosopher and leftie provocateur, who has become the internet’s most unlikely…

  4. One side: a techno-feudal rocket bro, cosplaying emperor while casually branding most of humanity "useless eaters."
    The other: Slavoj Žižek—unfiltered, unhinged, unmistakably human.

    No notes. No neutral ground.
    I know which side I'm on.

  5. If Zizek was as obsessed with Videogames as he was with Movies, he would realize that Aleksander Dugin has basically the same philosophy as MGSV's Skullface

  6. i just woke up to the realization that i might have finally read enough Slavoj Žižek to attempt to re-watch The Pervert's Guide to Computer Programming Languages and fully enjoy it

    (for reference, this is the thing: youtube.com/watch?v=mZyvIHYn2zk )

  7. Today is the day I begin reading THE SUBLIME OBJECT OF IDEOLOGY by Slavoj Žižek.

    May any existing gods have mercy on my soul.

  9. "Lacan, however, posited an equation between jouissance and superego: to enjoy is not a matter of following one’s spontaneous tendencies; it is rather something we do as a kind of weird and twisted ethical duty. Enjoyment itself is something that parasitizes upon human pleasures, perverting them so that a subject can draw a surplus-enjoyment from displeasure itself."

    Slavoj Žižek, in one of his Substack newsletters

  10. W mojej opinii istotą kawałów jest naginanie przez nie panujących norm społecznych, co jednocześnie czyni te żarty:

    Więc, czy życzcie sobie tutaj oglądać takie żarty mając świadomość ich podłego charakteru?

  11. after a very rough week
    after coming up close and touching noses with despair and hopelessness
    (in other words, after being home for a brief time, in a home that is disintegrating)
    (greetings from snowy #Romania )
    it felt immensely soothing to read the conclusion of Ziziek's latest newsletter article:

    "[...] every exercise of freedom is possible only against the background of suicidal self-negation which, hopefully, remains a mere potentiality"

    Zelensky says Russia lost more than 90,000 troops over 3 months -- Russian drone strikes hospital in Kyiv, kills 1, injures 4. -- Russian drones attack Dnipro, damage US-owned sunflower oil plant -- Kyiv police detain woman suspected of planting explosive under National Guard soldier's car ... and more

  13. Läser Slavoj Zizek's senaste utkomna essäsamling på svenska, Krossa framsteget.

    Tog några noter från hans kritik mot Kohei Saitos nerväxtkommunism.

  14. What's a good introduciton read/watch/listen?

    I’m only really learning more about Žižek’s thoughts since seeing this place, what’s something you could suggest for me to read?

  15. "The left shouldn’t be afraid to add to its tasks ensuring the safety of ordinary people: there are clear signs of the growing decay of manners, of youthful gangs terrorising public spaces, from stations to shopping malls. Mentioning this decay is often dismissed as reactionary, with the insistence that we must look at the 'deeper social roots' of such ­phenomena, such as unemployment and institutional racism."

  16. USA, la scommessa di Mamdani secondo Žižek

    di Slavoj Žižek, professore di filosofia presso la European Graduate School, da Project Syndicate Gli Stati Uniti si stanno trasformando da un sistema politico bipartitico a uno che comprende repubblicani dell'establishment, democratici dell'establishment, populisti dell'estrema destra e socialisti democratici. Nell'affrontare tutti coloro che cercheranno di ostacolarlo, il sindaco eletto di New York dovrà tenere presente questo quadro generale. […]

  17. #SlavojŽižek zu Gast bei #PussyRiot|s #NadyaTolokonnikova. Meine Kragenweite philosophisch-politisches ›Infotainment‹.

    EDIT: Gegen Ende des Gesprächs.

    NT: Everyone is a creator. I don’t want to be one.
    SZ: {…} Now I’m beginning to hate you. Because this a little bit too bright. {…} What the influence of AI is threatening is not our creativity—they will do the work for us—it’s our authentic passivity, being open to. {…} We are already manipulated there.

  18. When I need to be comforted, I take 6 minutes of my life to listen to a short clip in which Slavoj Žižek explains what he understand to be the aim of psychoanalysis.

    "The goal of psychoanalysis is precisely to bring you to the point where you can finally forget that piece of bullshit that is yourself... and finally work for a cause."

  19. "La falta de libertad verdaderamente peligrosa es la falta de libertad de la que ni siquiera eres consciente, que experimentas como tu propia libertad."

  20. "La paradoja de Trump es que habla en nombre del sentido común humano mientras desencadena cambios revolucionarios inauditos que desafían nuestra noción básica de ser-humanos."

  21. The central thesis of #ThePervertsGuideToCinema is that cinema doesn’t simply fulfill our desires, but rather shows us how we should desire. #SlavojŽižek argues that films function as a psychic matrix - it’s not that the matrix needs our energy, but rather our libido needs a matrix in order to be structured boxd.it/9UzIHp

  22. "¿Debería sorprendernos que los trumpistas, los grandes opositores a la Cultura de la Cancelación, estén cerca de hacer exactamente las mismas cosas de una manera mucho más brutal? Reclamando la inclusión de libertades, acaban excluyendo sin piedad las formas de libertad que no se ajustan a su idea de libertad."

  23. #SlavojŽižek argues in his essay "The Politics of Batman" that Harvey Dent, not the Joker, is Batman’s real foil. Against Batman’s vigilantism—or rather, against the violent excess of capital—the system, according to Žižek, produces its own excess, one that is even more brutally than Batman himself. When Batman takes the blame for Dent’s crimes, he upholds the noble lie that sustains neoliberal faith: that heroes, not structures, fix broken systems. #TheDarkKnight boxd.it/9KdEpn

  24. Haven't watched all of this yet (link in 3rd post), but I am keenly interested. #SlavojZizek says: "Trump is...a symptom, a reaction to the failure of the mainstream welfare state liberal democratic [capitalism]."

    I'm not entirely sure of that final word, because the interviewer interrupted him. 🙄 But even without that final word, I think Žižek nails it.

    Donald J. Trump as president --not once, but twice (at least)--is exactly the insane fascist autocratic bullshit you get...

  25. Hochspannendes geostrategisches Interview mit #SlavojŽižek: „Europa muss eine neue Supermacht werden“

  26. I'm writing an essay on this #SlavojZizek talk:
    zizekpodcast.com/2017/01/07/zi

    Essay excerpt:

    " #DonaldTrump, Žižek rightly points out, is the perfect example of the eternal adolescent: vacuous, irresponsible, childish, incapable of critical thought, arrogant, flouting basic rules of decency, careless, cruel, prone to irrational outbursts and decisions, inconsiderate, vicious when thwarted, and petulant. He’s a vulgar opportunist who presents himself as a successful businessman—

  27. “They tell us we are dreamers. The true dreamers are those who think things can go on indefinitely the way they are. We are not dreamers. We are the awakening from a dream that is turning into a nightmare. We are not destroying anything. We are only witnessing how the system is destroying itself.”

    #SlavojZizek, Occupy Wall Street

    As occupations and other forms of direct democratic participation return to public attention in the US, this is worth remembering.
