he was a candidate for president in the 90's you goblin

Seeing him as a liberal there I feel like his support for communism is a career move.

Because it's a fucking backwater, same as pretty much every other Eastern 'European' shithole.

Maybe there was no other party crazy enough to allow him to run.

This. I've heard him refer to his country as 'shitty' and so forth on Youtube videos.

I think he realized there was a much easier and more lucrative life awaiting him in the West, what with all the Hegelian-Lacanian nonsense he can put into (overpriced) book form.

>they are making us pay someone elses dues

LOL

he ran for the ceremonial position of president once upon a time

he has ties to people in positions of power though, mostly in the opposition
lubljana is small as fuck and everyone knows everyone in the elite
apparently he even knows someone that knows the state security officer that used to spy on him and his friends when he a "dissident" under communism

Because even he knows that he's not fit to be a politician.
You need to drop a lot of that intellectual stuff to get elected. Not being a misanthrope helps too.

But he lives in Slovenia

He was more reactionary in his youth, like other Slavs of his generation. And now, also like other Slavs of his generation, he's aware that liberalism was a mistake.

Well, because he's Croatian for one

I was reading a short introduction to Hegel and had a funny realization that Žižek is actually LARP'ing Hegel. Read the following and see if it reminds you of anyone:

>"I was unable at first to find my way into either the manner of his delivery or the train of his thought. Exhausted, morose. He sat there as if collapsed into himself, his head bent down, and while speaking he kept turning pages and searching in his folio notebooks, forward and backward, high and low. His constant clearing of his throat and coughing interrupted any flow of speech. Every sentence stood alone and came out with effort, cut into pieces and jumbled...Eloquence that flows along smoothly presupposes that the speaker is finished with the subject inside and out and has it by heart...this man, however, had to raise up the most powerful thoughts from the deepest ground of things...a more vivid representation of these difficulties and the immense trouble than was accomplished by the manner of his delivery would be inconceivable." - A description of Hegel from one of his students

>Exhausted, morose. He sat there as if collapsed into himself, his head bent down, and while speaking he kept turning pages and searching in his folio notebooks, forward and backward, high and low. His constant clearing of his throat and coughing interrupted any flow of speech.

Mein Gott.

>His constant clearing of his throat and coughing interrupted any flow of speech.

Add some sniffing/nose-rubbing and you've got our man.

>people will still try to say that he was 'obscurantist' on purpose, instead of just another autist philosopher à la Kant

The best philosophers are in some way autistic.

Kant, however, was apparently an amazing lecturer. He was only autistic in his private life.

NOW THE MEME BECOMES THE EPISTEME

Why did he run as a liberal? I'm so confused

Probably on an "anything's better than what we had before" basis.

Post-Soviet insanity.

You guys have it confused.

Zizek is personally a communist, but believed both Marxist-Leninism and Yugoslav market socialism were inadequate mechanisms for achieving free and stateless communism.

He supported that particular liberal party because it included a lot of young intellectuals. He believed if they won, he could steer Yugoslavia toward his preferred mechanism of communist implementation

>Zizek is personally a communist

In fairness, that's just what he wants you to think.

Yes it's part of his big plan. To, uh, do stuff.

Yes ofcourse we all know *sniff sniff* that *sniff* a true communism, this dream that came and went, *shirt pull* and sort of this Stalinist big Other watching *shirt* is really at the heart of Christianity which demands a kind of sacrifice *sniff sniff* the same way as any good Stalinist means when he says "the door to the left is the door to the gulag" you know this joke yes.

He was very nearly elected after one of the other candidates made wrong move of calling him the smartest guy in the race.

this idiot should kill himself and vanish

"Wasn´t it Hitler that brought the Germans the picture of his nationalistic ideology, through which they saw a special Pokemon - "the jew" - appearing everywhere, which (the picture) gave them (the germans) the answer of the question, what they should fight against?"

Yet another uncited and overblown emotional reaction to Zizek.

>uncited
it appeared in an articel of the german newspaper "Die Zeit", i didn´t buy it. there are no online sources available, but i believe the writer, who wrote this on his blog

Why would he when he gets a shitload of money from the western elite? Slovenia is a shitty little country where everyone who was in power in 1950 was still in power (or their kids are, just with a different fake ideology). He already knows everyone there is to know there, he was working for the secret service all throughout communism, and he has ties to pretty much everyone there, how the hell do you think people with careers like his are even made?

Because the former communists became hard Nationalists and still are.

zizek has the best stories

>"Wasn´t it Hitler that brought the Germans the picture of his nationalistic ideology, through which they saw a special Pokemon - "the jew" - appearing everywhere, which (the picture) gave them (the germans) the answer of the question, what they should fight against?"
What a dogshit translation.

>zhzh will never be your uncle and you'll never see him disrupt countless holiday family get-togethers with crass jokes and spontaneous lectures about dialectical materialism

yeah, whatever.

zizek is dogshit, too.

In a lot of ways he's a typical yugoslav. So just marry into that sort of family.

'no'

I don't think with that pos you even understand what he wrote.

P. Go draws Pokemon onto the real world, you must go out into the real world and catch them because they are drawn there. National Socialist ideology drew Jews onto real life too, and again the German people had to go and perform acts in relation to this in real life. It's not a hard thing to follow but you've skipped over and mistranslated so many words it makes no sense.

muh ideology

read marx, adorno and nietzsche

zizek is an illiterate

...

BUT HE'S SAYING POKEMON IS HITLER YOU CAN'T SAY THAT REEEEEEEEEEE

he literally compares jews and pokemons for the sake of his neverending criticism of ideology

ok we get his point.

but he relativizes history through his myopic view on modern technology. he is a fucking antisemite

sleep tight Zizek

die in your sleep tonight, zizek

...

>German people had to go
why?

and dont say because of the ideology...

Sleep tight Zizek

I saw Žižek in Ljubljana in a store checking some video games.

You can shake your tiny fists at him all you want, but I sure wish I could go to "work", that is, ad-libbing outlandish political commentary about pop-cultural phenomena, while looking like a greasy hobo and then go on and marry a model and do coke all night in my cozy flat where the socks are stored in the kitchen drawers.

Make this into that one /sp/ pasta.

I find that attitude kinda funny. They would absolutely hate Germany where nearly every museum is like half dedicated "WE HAD NAZIISM AND IT WAS STUPID AND WRONG".

>but he relativizes history through his myopic view on modern technology. he is a fucking antisemite
I can't even parse this beyond it's meant to be a point on hermeneutics (I think?).

On the other bit, he's not really comparing pokeymens and Hitler, but the way the VR game works with how the ideology works. It's not what you thought.

i love zizek he's a wonderful man very bright but communism is inhumane, my needs are satisfied in a capitalism, or maybe the delusion that they are my needs, or oops i fell into ideology again fuck this

>my needs are satisfied in a capitalism
this is the faster than light neutrino of pure ideology

Why do you have to go out and catch the pokemon? He's not (exactly) talking about actual Jews like he's not talking about actual pokemon.

There were actual problems in Germany at the time (as you may be aware), and a lot of this was spooky geopolitical shit. I think that's what you want. But I'm p sure the point there is not what compelled them but what drew them in (the ol objet petit a where the cause and object of desire are different I think).

My issue with Slavoj is that most of what he says is meaningless Hegelian-Lacanian verbiage.

When he IS being clear, then he's usually just stating something pretty obvious, and in a way that's pretty far from profound.

As said though, I'm still a little jealous. If you can reasonable brandish any Hegelian and Psychoanalytic terminology, you can come off as much smarter than you actually are. What's more, it can be very hard for people to read you, in terms of what you actually believe. Slavoj made a comfy niche for himself, and now milks it to the full.

I wonder how good of a pickup tactic it would be in uni/college, in the sense of dazzling dumbass girls with jargon beyond the usual Marxist kind they're all so used to.

I saw Slavoj Zizek at a video game store in Ljubljana yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh *sniff* like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and pulling on his shirt in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him mumble about ideology as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept babbling about hegel and lacan, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any dialectical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by sniffing really loudly.

Well done

...

Not everything you misunderstand is judenhass you ingrate.

then why bother with this whole obsession with jews?

i could take any other example in human history where a development in technology leads to a changing moment in human perception.

get it?

>i could take any other example in human history where a development in technology leads to a changing moment in human perception.
>get it?
No not really.

Your needs are satisfied but most people's aren't

>then why bother with this whole obsession with jews?
I don't know, why are you obsessed with Jews?

He isn't.
Ps, he's a meme here too.

>I don't know, why are you obsessed with Jews?
Because semite (some might) be involved in a global conspiracy.

That's the best I can come up with.

That's exactly why capitalism wins. my satisfaction at the expense of others makes me the winner, because the other party loses. Here is how capitalism is more humane than communism.

Are you thinking of Slaven Bilic by any chance?

zizek is obsessed with jews

No, I was just stirring the pot for some reason

A lot of yugoslavs compare their own cultures with that of the jewish people for various reasons. And a lot of him mentioning jews there is because German newspaper

Try harder

He has no meme value.
"Yugoslavs"

>A lot of yugoslavs compare their own cultures with that of the jewish people
As a yugo I have to say this is bullshit

If anything his memes are too stromg

U redu

Always one.

>>A lot of yugoslavs compare their own cultures with that of the jewish people
What the fuck are you on about?

Slavic people scare the shit out of me, I can only imagine how horrifying a love session with a Serbian girl might be.

>he plays pokemon go

Who here has read his masterpiece?

mariborchan.si/text/articles/the-ontology-of-quantum-physics/

>What the fuck
Woah. Much aggros. On the internet.

What "the fuck" is the problem?

What dumbass girl do you know who would derive semantic meaning from a statement like "the money-form of a commodity is merely the expression of its medial relationship with all other commodities and thus the conceptual location of labor within capitalism"

Because it is the most immediately comprehensible example of the ideological Other as constructed by the State

Is that an excerpt from the book?

>And a lot of him mentioning jews there is because German newspaper
ok, that could be a reason to raise awareness

If it's the thing about how there isn't really nothing in qm because virtual sea of electrons and positrons then it's in a few books.

Those same girls who go weak at the knees when I bring up other bullshit ideas like "the labor theory of value".

Give an example of how you bring up the LTV broletariat

>Debating the US Presidential election in class

>"You know, Trump always goes on about how China's ripping us off, I hear it all the time. What about the bourgeoisie, huh? Even if China weren't ripping us off, we'd still be getting ripped off here at home. Why? Because 'The Man', you know who I mean, the 1%, decrees that the value of what our American workers make is determined by the use or pleasure that it gives, rather than the amount of work that goes into it. Don't you see how that rips people off? And I'm not just talkin' American workers either, it's the whole damn Proletariat! Marx actually talks about this, guys. It's called the Labour Theory of Value, you should really look it up, yeah? It'll open your eyes."

>"By the way Stacey, here's my number. Wanna grab a coffee after class? My treat, no strings attached. I saw you nod a couple of times and I just think we're on the same wavelength on this, you know?"

Well played.

Lol you are for sure an armchair ladykiller.

humanitiesfags will defend this

If she falls for this, I seriously hope you treat the whole affair as casual sex only.
