The love for Zizek is half him being an honest, sensible guy a great deal of the time and half irony.

>tfw I shit on Zizek and Marx and love Lacan

...

Zizek is the only living philosopher.

I shit on Zizek BECAUSE of Lacan. Marx got some things right, and can be considered worth reading, except for stupid things like historical determinism. Not sure what to think of dialectics.

Anyway, I have a sort of hate-love relationship with Zizek. On the one hand I find he is interesting, on the other hand I find that what he says is probably bullshit.

...

Memes mostly

Becusch he hez a dischtinkitive schtyl ind schoh on.

Because Marx and Lacan are dead and therefore don't amuse me with their antics in the media.

because he's entertaining and likeable

It's not the same people who shit on Marx and Lacan who love Žižek

Reminder that Veeky Forums is not one person

Name one (one) other living Philosopher that isn't Meme Land

>Reminder that Veeky Forums is not one person

Yes I am

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fashionable_Nonsense#Lacan_and_complex_numbers

No, I'm not

>Anglo autists

Eh thanks for linking to a refutation of a criticism of Lacan from boring nobodies

great arguments

Linking a wikipedia article isn't either, you shill

Agamben.

>what is a metaphor?
>i am an austistic anglo

im honestly not far along enough to know shit about lacan. where do i start desu

With the Greeks

did that, now what

Never read Lacan but I'm a big fan of Marxy Marx and the Žiž

I need to rewatch this show asap.

romans

Because Žižek at least tries to be understood.

We don't have any recordings of Marx tugging his shirt and sniffing.
But seriously, this

> Marx
> Historical determinism
No books detected.

What is it? Suits?

I don't 'love' Žižek. He's interesting, quirky, and certainly likeable in his own way - but that by no means implies he has merit.

Now, on the other hand, I hate all French hacks (that is to say, French philosophers) and Marx should have been aborted at birth along with his entire progeny.

Why is any post accompanied with that picture garbage, is it you posting all of them

It's actually one of the better posts ITT.

lmao look at this classcuck

>le ressentiment xd
>ur just jelly now go and work for me prole

>If I am canaille, then you must also be canaille!

Pure ressentiment.

who are you quoting?

"They're eh hacks because I say so haha Leftists BTFO"

No

French hacks claim they're not hacks all the time.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

You sound like everything you read on Marx and Lacan was on wikipedia.

Because he's entertaining.
That doesn't mean I particularly agree with him.

>You sound like everything you read on Marx and Lacan was on wikipedia.
I come across Marx from other sources, books and actual interaction with hardline communists on RevLeft.
You are right about Lacan, but I read plenty of psychology to know that its bullshit.

If you want to go the way of making assumptions about people, I bet you are likely the type of person - especially considering Veeky Forums's demographics - that only reads classic philosophy and literature and doesn't concern yourself with contemporary philosophy or scientific books.

To fling some more shit at you: there's a high probability that almost all that you read fits into a stereotype. For what's it worth, everything I read could almost fit the STEM stereotype.

Marx and Lacan died before Youtube was created.

cause they dont have funny videos on youtube.

>You are right about Lacan, but I read plenty of psychology to know that its bullshit.

But clearly not enough of everything else to know psychology is bullshit

Descartes,you don't need the romans or scholastics,unless you're interested in christian philosophy.
