If you're in the USA then join the DSA, we're forming the largest left third party in the USA. Join your party today!

1:39 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 "today i'm in a good mood" Slavoj Zizek

Old men not having to fight against religious fascists solve all problems by blaming the jews. *sniff*

Immanuel Kant... But at least he tried.

in minute 11 he says histeria instead of perversion. I'm following the argument from other talks.

Trump won because he talks about institutionalized drug and human trafficking. When will the left talk about this ?

❤❤❤❤❤

"Israel Needed War" - only someone who doesn't know shit about Israel and who hates this country and its peoples with a vengeance can say so. This war was forced upon us by the genocidal slaughter of Hamas, it brought unspeakable terror and anguish upon us. It set our society back by several decades - no one would wish that upon himself in his worst nightmares. The whole left is out of touch with reality - but these two guys are totally absorbed by a shitty ideology that killed tens of millions in the twentieth century. Enough said.

Technofeudalism: 'big corporations and so on'

Can we have a moment of silence for the de-esser. It didn't stand a chance...

Anyone who says that Gaza was like a concentration camp to justify that the Gazans had the right to storm the border with Israel isn't representing reality, but is just describing his fantasy world, where Palestinians have no agency and are like children at the mercy of the evil Israelis. The reality is that 180000 Gazans traveled each year out of Gaza to go shopping in Cairo or Istanbul - or to go train with Hezbollah in Lebanon. Gaza had a higher per capita income than Egypt. It had a water park (until Hamas closed it for religious reasons) and a Mercedes dealership. It had neighborhoods as nice as Israeli middle-class neighborhoods. That was the reality. And now it is all gone. Not because of Israel, or of Netanyahyu. But because of their own leadership. Palestinians are not children. They had a choice, and that is what they choose.

I find it tiring listening to Žižek. He thinks faster than he speaks hence he can't get the words out fast enough. It's like he's in a complustive hurry to make his point but what's the hurry? His accent, nervous ticks, and speech impediment does not help either. If I had these setbacks, rest assured I'd find a way to rise above them. Looks like Žižek would care less about them. Fine, but I'm sure many people lose interest in what he has to say because his manner of speaking is too distracting and even annoying.

Deliciously chaotic

Does anyone know what video vatoufakis is talking about where Netanyahu talks about supporting Hamas

I have had the same recurrent dream for twenty years. But no lucid dreams

That's a really good point that closes this video, that bringing a subject out into public discourse can dilute any sense of urgency about it. Talking too much about important issues drives people to dismiss them in the form of a soundbite, meme, joke or cliché because it no longer carries that pent up frustration of being silenced, so it isn't exciting anymore. By direct contrast, all the pent up frustration of not being supposed to talk about politically incorrect positions was released by the US president elect. Kamala didn't satisfy the same kind of urge latent in the left, where someone like Bernie may have done better. In fact, UHC Luigi has harnessed the libidinal urge of the left so successfully that he's even captured the support of most of the right too.

Not sure everyone knows, Putin wasn’t raised by his parents. He’s embarrassed to talk about them. His grandfather served as a personal cook for Joseph Stalin which Putin is extremely proud of this fact. When he was a teenager, the street boys ignored him and always made fun of him because of his looks, height and a character. So, he went to the Judo school to become more acceptable by friends, which didn’t help him. He was a weak, mean, nasty kid, and always dreamed of revenge.

Crazy World...

Slavoj Žiźek, reknowned cultural theorist and public intellectual. His bizarre and often meaningless propositions aside, he mirrors the same euro-centric chauvinism of Samuel Huntington, viz a viz a ‘clash of civilizations’ when he declared that “it is a simple fact that most of the refugees come from a culture that is incompatible and hostile with Western European notions of human rights.” Torchbearer of the European bourgeois cultural apparatus, all be it Slavoj is “Discursive Sausage for the Uneducated” (Gabriel Rockhill). Of all the ‘Hegelian Hogwash’ that Žiźek has come to symbolize, he can never utter a word about the CIA, about Samuel Huntington’s long involvement with the US Govt in framing globalist imperial policies. The disasters of which, are visible from Iran to Nicaragua to Indonesia. For this reason, Žiźek is an outstanding example of devotion to imperialism and the current world order.

Overall, the speaker’s monologue and responses to questions paint a bleak picture of a world dominated by techno-feudalism, resurgent warlordism, and a pervasive sense of alienation and exploitation. He sees these trends reflected in a variety of contemporary conflicts and political phenomena, from the Israel-Hamas conflict to the rise of Donald Trump.

"you" like me? Or like Zizek? Don't include the rest of us in your delusional worlds of shadows and superstitions.

Lol. Have you ever spoken in your colloquial dialect and had these better than thou folks jump on you constantly for using the second person point of view. Yet here are Zizek and Varafsukis doing this like they're street wise hipsters slumming it. Telling us who we are and how we're manipulated.

What a flat, not thought through assumption, that "Israel needed war".

Slavoj is getting old

capitalist.ltd.economics now!

The powerful use divide-and-rule. For every day is born another fool. Divide the world with rulings. Siphon off the wealth of entire regions. For that, they pay their mercenary legions. Divide the people into dichotomies: the left/right, peace/fight. The Team A/Team B, the them/us create the fuss.... Because we the bethren, argue like children. The game is rigged, their boots we licked... Their hypocrisy and lies around the world flies. Their declarations are the paths of escalations. Qui bono? The hypocrites lie, and the people divide, choose a side. The billionaires in robes divide the core of the globalists' globe. Money rulers decisions are the _"managers"_ and _"moderators"_ of lies and divisions.

So is there mention of TEMPERANCE with AUTHENTICITY? Where does PATIENCE come into play? IF we are not being AUTHENTIC, is that LYING? ...which is a SIN against the Almighty.

When the product is free, you are the price.

Thank you Mr Gabor as I see the Almighty in all of it, this reveals I have more trusting the All-Mighty to do. "Stressed" is a sign I am not resting in His Word, ordinances, assurances and sustenances. I got work to do😅

"israel is backing hamas to prevent palestine from reaching a 2 state solution" and then proceedto support Hamasitself onthe street at the same time, calling it resistance and acting like it makes anysense for the palestinian people. It's similar to the whole idea about "capitalists only care about money" and then proceed to protest and talk while still consuming goods, pretending like lower wages for women or any kind of issue with diversity in th workplace is ideologically driven by white suprematism and not, obviously, driven by monetary reasons (you hire the person that will bring more value to the company).

Cheap circus

What a fraud . P.o.s. Peterson sucks so bad .

14:49 "you're a bourgeois liberal secretly" 😂

zkarie

Two idiots of the left. This is why you are loosing every election. All is left is hubris.

Zizek may have been benefiting immensely from his almost incessant gesticulation in speech. It's a sort of fitness club activity for his organism. He seems hearty and healthy for his age (75).

Yannnis is a potato. 🥔

Two utterly lost individuals trying to find each other while incapable to understand where they stand.

10:25 There is no comparison to be made between Singapore, which lays on a major maritime intersection and thus serves as a hub for trade and finance, and Congo, which is landlocked and has no navigable rivers to the ocean. Congo without mineral resources would be more comparable to Siberia in terms of its economy, a place outsiders can only reach by plane or one single train track either to fell trees in some outpost or shoot travel/nature documentaries.

I don't know if it's part of his tick or not but god Slavoj needs to get to the point and share a discussion from time to time. It's frustrating.

The problem with a capital gains system is that all growth trends are exponential. i.e. the goal is to "snowball" your wealth as much as possible. It's the same as the force of gravity. Large sums of money bring others into their orbit and eventually absorb them. In a static space these systems always tend toward a single black hole. (Luckily for physics, the space time is expanding, so not all black holes merge, they just get increasingly powerful and isolated. But more unfortunately for economics, the space of capital opportunity on earth is finite, limited by the earth's natural resources. So a "free market" system naturally, inevitably, tends toward a single person owning all the money. )

Yes, we should be paid to report well! We can be enlightened by the process of writing the URI because we can transcend (or respond) to what was written and the fate that results.

I have always been a lucid dreamer and OBE and been keeping a dream journal since childhood and I also analyze the symbols daily and the richness it brings is worth the time invested, I often have trouble coming back into this side and find this so called reality unreal and the spiritual side the reality, the hardest part is learning to maneuver in both realms. Castaneda, Watts, and so many others have taught me much but only Yogananda really clarified it all- he speaks of dreaming of a tiger dream as a child and once you realize it is all a dream you can shine your light into the darkness and dance through it all. To quote a Shakti song- "what need have I for that, what need have I for this, I am dancing at the feet of the Lord, all is bliss, all is bliss." Meditation is the only medication we need and once you release the Kundalini energy there is no going back to sleeping.

no wonder the video was censored; great one!

I have massive respect and appreciation for Slavoj and like Yanis as well, but his Israel-Palestine views seem simplistic and Slavoj seems to accept them at face value without expressing them himself. Open-air prison, apartheid, almost always resistance are things that I have never heard said without any depth or nuance on the topic and Yannis doesn't seem to aim to be the first to do so.

This assumes that the working class cares primarily about their financial condition. This is untrue. They vote on culture, not economics.

What would Zizek tell us about #LuigiMangione ?

Now that this encounter has happened, the universe can end.
