3:15 "The solution is to be Vulgar but Nice instead of merely Politically Correct and Polite" I totally support Zizek here. For context, I'm bisexual. If you look at how the LGBT crowd described their peers and themselves in the 90s, they always used such obscene vulgar non-PC descriptions. "Tr***y d***, f****t queen" .etc and this formed the basis of an extremely strong foundation of solidarity within the LGBT community. Now that we have too much emphasis on Political Correctness, we see the LGBT community fracture. Now you have groups of gays that abhor trans people and so on... I think the LGBT need to look back at its roots and embrace 'Vulgar Solidarity' more than ever.

when talking obscenity with a woman i would never say anything that can be taken as being related directly to her.. "you yah you lady who asked me before you yeah - you are stupid enough to stand up and criticize me..." the man proves his point :D 7:37 haha yuvals laugh xDD

Thats because it's hard to type in the dark....

[@Jpturlax01]

they're probably all speechless. Completely speechless (or the more logical solution is that because Yuval posted this discussion as shorts or quick videos, and once you watch one or two the next ones pop up on your screen, the rest of the people became too excited/quick to click on and watch the next recommended video instead of taking their time and seeing the reactions of other people)
