Philosophy

What is Veeky Forums opinion on the philosophy of Slavoj zizek?
Fag or no fag?

He takes 20 minutes to say something that should only take 5 minutes and he has nothing really new or interesting to add other than bitching and moaning about hos socialism has failed

crazy old cook. should stick to films.

He’s entertaining, but his only interesting insights all concern ideology.

I suspect he's actually quite reactionary (for a leftist). He occupies a very weird niche where he is not a full on stalinist tanky but is uncomfortable being in a crowd of modern SJW leftists.

His take on modern culture is funny, but brevity is also something i wish people would consider taking.

Also he's someone who talks alot of shit about how fucked the current political system is and goes on endless rants about it with esoteric topics using arcane language that requires advanced philosophy knowledge to even begin to fully comprehend instead of breaking it down into an easier to understand form without jargon.

He's loves to complain rather than making changes.

But whatever, I cant be mad at a guy who spouts pop culture philosophy bullshit for mad money and pussy.

>very weird niche
Wait, so everything that isn't a fullblown Stalinist or some weak chinned college liberal is a "very weird niche"?

He has no philosophy. He just drones on and on and no one takes him seriously.

Yes.

Culturally conservative socialist is a very weird niche role in 2017.

I don't think you grasp how ideologically diverse the Left really is. If anything Old Left is back in vogue

con artist who learned from the best (hegel)

very dionsyan. very nice.

>Old Left is back in vogue
Who? The modern left dominated by retards who take bits of Marx's philosophy and inject it with liberal poz.

>Old Left is back in vogue

I would kill so many puppies to make this happen.

I haven't seen it yet.

Secret fascist

Who's this guy and what is his ideology?

He's too reactionary to be fully leftist. Like most Marxists he'll just spend most of his time critiquing the current system. I don't think he cares that much about changing it.

Because what would he do then du you think?

These, I'm sure he's much more conservative/"reactionary" than he lets on
>makes statement supporting or endorsing a "reactionary" stance on refugees etc
>backtracks immediately in the next sentence "I don't literally *schniff* believe that refugee boats should be shot on shight *schniff*, but in late capitalishm..."

Pic related is a start, although his shadow chancellor is probably the better example

its called accelerationism tho

Where? I had to leave activism because of the liberal taint in the left became too ridiculous.

He's a good stand up comedian. Well, mostly sit down comedian.

Sanders and Corbyn are old as fuck, though. It remains to be seen if they're actually the harbingers of a new age in left-wing politics, or the last gasp of the old.

>pussy.
He's only married three women
