When did Zizek emerge into public consciousness?

When did Zizek emerge into public consciousness?

He seemingly came out of nowhere around 2011/12 (at least for me) - why?

>but isn't it precisely because I don't know what I'm talking about, that I should continue speaking, yes? no! I hate that! When they say this and you say that and so on *sniffs*...my radical proposition is this....if Hitler learned to fucked jewish men in the ass properly the entire paradigm could have been...

The release of the Perverts guide to Ideology

more like perverts guide to cinema

Nobody cares about zizek except a few turboautist neckbeards at Veeky Forums and leftypol

Zizek is /ourguy/

this picture literally makes me angry. they couldn't do a days work if their lives depend on it

id fuck that slightly retarded looking beaner on the left though

>he says while he mooches off his mother

Because he's on the internet, and is thus accessible

he is an absolute meme

My gott! Pure ideology.

why does he think saying 'ideology' invalidates an argument?

take off your glasses, ideologue

>they couldn't do a days work if their lives depend on it

Being a laborer isn't some kind of noble struggle my friend

This pretty much. I think I vaguely heard of him before that, but it wasn't until this documentary came out that he rose in popularity.

It is to a proper communist, which is what those kids claim to be.

I strongly assume (without evidence) that Zizek got popular with the rise of youtube. He's obscurantist and weird enough that he seems like a real intellectual, but he's funny and pop culture friendly enough that he works well as an entertainer. His great talent is that he can make some amusing/interesting point in one bite sized anecdote. Perfect for the 4 minute youtube video that gets shared among friends.

That's how I found out about him.
