The Talk: Bernie Sanders & Slavoj Žižek

[@THETALKseries]

New episode: Liam Neeson & Dame Judi Dench: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6rIl3d4jt5nbJY

[@saikotropos7088]

No one can grasp how difficult, technical, smart and creative this whole thing is

[@Dapsy9]

Actually, much of what makes this succesful is our own pattern recognition apparatus. Apophenia and whatnot

[@GregoryArkadin-j5v]

What a snore. If it weren’t for Zizek’s funny real-life personality and quirky way of expressing himself, we might as well be watching Taylor Swift chatting with Sabrina Carpenter.

[@colejenkinsmusic]

The subtle details (like Bernie’s hands popping into the shots of Slavoj, and the water glass in front of Slavoj’s hands) are incredible, and really help sell this. Seriously, top tier editing skills all around.

[@Staubsaugaer]

The exact timing of the interruptions feels more natural than some scenes in bad movies where the actors can actually see and hear each other

[@SumriseHD]

Plot twist: it's not edited.

[@Morgaen_Rei]

[@fastica]

This is not a video, this is a work of art.

[@LeoulB]

this conversation should actually happen

[@simonspoke]

These are becoming better and better.

[@uhN0id]

All been good but this one I actually forgot it's an edit haha.

[@jqyhlmnp]

You’re becoming butter

[@diogenes2550]

@jqy Who are you talking to, some milk?

[@antoinepetrov]

This is the calmest I've seen Žižek be. If he was really in a room with Bernie, his ticks would be constant. I love this guy

[@Kristina-tp2it]

He isn't in same room?

[@Guadeloop]

@@adi-he9zw it's not, it's called video-editing and it has existed for one hundred years

[@debrutomeyer9117]

Both!

[@diamantbelallari669]

Bernie's reactions to Zizek's interruptions look priceless lol

[@freddyfootstomps6557]

👀

[@travisa2455]

Bernie's nod after Zizek says, "Stalin!" is everything.

[@rinnin]

You do know this isn’t real don’t you? 🙄🤦‍♂️

[@ernstthalmann4306]

He visted thw USSR often

[@axelbruv]

Jesus, I didn't realise this was an edit until I read the description. It works so well because of how much Zizek enjoys provoking debate, although I thought he was particularly direct here. Thinking about it, his goal is usually to win the other person over, rather than alienate him. The way he handled Peterson was masterful.

[@michaeldrechfachs1547]

Surrealist masterpiece, possibly the greatest mashup yet.

[@3br1ce7]

If Zizek ever hears this, he’s gonna be PISSED at that titanic interpretation 🤣

[@Sphynra]

That’s actually his interpretation of the movie though. He says the iceberg saves Rose from the “real disaster” that a relationship with DiCaprio’s character would be (because of how socially incompatible they are) and lets her keep this idealized perfect vision of what could have been. The sinking of the ship saves her from committing social suicide by getting into an actual relationship with him.

[@3br1ce7]

@@Sphynra i mean… your half right; you have an okay summary. he gave what he referred to as an altered imperialist myth of upper class sucking the lower class for vitality via contact-later to rejoin upper class afterwards in his interpretation. if they never ran into the iceberg, the romance would pitter out in a few weeks. the difference in this ai parody skit is that zizek is actually using that myth in support of sucking and throwing aside the lower class against bernie 🤣

[@3br1ce7]

@@Sphynra you right… but more in a “well akkshually” way, as if you thought i wouldn’t know his interpretation

[@PeterFlynn-vd8se]

@@3br1ce7 ai?

[@Sphynra]

@@3br1ce7 So I'm ackshually right is what you're saying, which is good enough for me 🤓

[@Der_Dolmetscher]

I met Zizek in my hometown last year in February, where he held a lecture, and when I asked him a question, I referred to a friend of mine as „a leftist, but mein Gott, not a complete idiot“, and Zizek laughed out loud, saying „I see what you did there, and you are right; it goes both ways. Stay centred, avoid the fringe.“ I thought he‘s on-stage persona is a gig, but it’s not. He‘s the same once the cameras are turned off. No filter. But his ticks take a break. It’s as if he’s suffering from stage fright.

[@DanielLaFata]

So impressive. Amazing how the conversation weaved together so well. I always get so excited when I get a notification that a new one of these videos has uploaded. I only have post notifications for like 3 accounts and this is one of them

[@fraterseamus]

That cut to Zizek at 0:33 when he does the little sniff - absolute perfection, I almost spit out my drink 🤣

[@Faustfenix]

This might be the best thing ever made in KZbin history

[@kengemmer]

Lol. My favorite line-“Let me be clear. I’m proud to be here and I hope I at least made you start thinking.”

[@roennreeds]

This actually fooled me when I saw it on X. And I edit videos often. Seriously incredible job.

[@himansubaral4252]

What do you mean? This is a fake video? It actually never happened?? Noooooo. Tell me please.

[@rullvardi]

@@himansubaral4252 It is fake, yes.

[@Smoochie71804]

Very well done. I like when people put in real noticeable effort for a farce. One of my favorite human endeavors. Bravo. 👏 👏 👏

[@lasnochesconguxens5110]

If you have studied political sciences, this conversation is exactly what happens in the bar of the University between students. There is always one pragmatic and humble about his knowledge and another one who is just there to boast about how much he’s read. You either one or the other.

[@agesflow6815]

Thank you, THE TALK.

[@jessew7565]

This is easily one of the best edits I've ever seen

[@abdifatahaden4761]

Real 2016 energy.

[@joblohnny]

this might be the most realistic looking one out of all your videos. cool videos as always

[@odzychris7996]

Bernie Sanders, a perfect response to Slavoj Zizeck. Beautiful!

[@fadplastic]

Nice to see this guy getting more subs. This channel is among the best on KZbin. This kind of work belongs in an art gallery.

[@qutalive]

It still boggles my mind that this channel doesn't have millions of views. This is genius.

[@NadirAgha]

When I saw the thumbnail and the title for a moment I was soo excited. The conversation between this two would be legendary, and I would pay to be able to listen to that

[@FirstnameLastname-kn5sw]

Sanders trying to stay calm and explain a policy as Zizek jumps in with : "Wi al zaw Jams Cameroun's TitAnik" This isn't just good editing in the technical sense, but brilliant in the narrative choices as well.

[@arijitray6868]

One of the greatest interview. Please share the whole. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks

[@jhvcjyrjsdkuhvbpigt9b7ghikn]

Really great. I love your work, it's almost surreal.

this is not AI right?... they are extractions of actual conversations?... anyway it's genius

[@chrik9105]

Yeah, taken from old episodes of Charlie Rose.

[@hombrealagua]

@@chrik9105 yes! I recognize Charly Rose’s table and set, but that also could’ve been AI. The fact that it isn’t is much more interesting and transcendent. Thanks

[@axelbruv]

It's sad that this has to be a question now. It's easy to assume that someone's work is the work of a computer program because of how advanced they've become. AI makes people undervalue creativity.

[@r-nadir]

Masterpiece, enjoyed every second

[@MaxLatif]

Bloody amazing 🤣, Keep them coming please @THETALKseries , the planet needs MORE 😅 🍻🙌

[@LostSoulAscension]

The use of Bernie's phsyical responses in the end were legendary xD loved it!

[@JamieCosta]

I’m not kidding. It’s been years since I’ve genuinely laughed this good especially on KZbin

[@johnchessant3012]

1:52 Bernie's unamused reaction here is fantastic

[@internetperson8638]

This is just so impossible I knew it had to be fake, but throughout the video I was constantly questioning it. Zizek's way of explaining things was also spot on, especially the cinematic references and analysis.

[@Fake_Robot]

I have a slow connection so while I was waiting for this video to load I thought about how a conversation between Bernie and Zizek would go and this was pretty much it.

[@yudaman231]

OMG how I’ve been waiting for this day

The Power of Silence, over necessity to talk

[@njits789]

[@UberOcelot]

I really was on a knife's edge with this, if it wasn't the consistent cadence of comedic timing I might think this was real

Brilliant. Perfect. Masterpiece

[@adrianaslund8605]

This is the greatest supergroup since A Perfect Circle.

Very unlikely discussion, actually taking place. We all needed this.

[@diegoortega7910]

[@cutie7012]

this is freaking me tf out. Yesterday I THOUGHT of these two talking. Never said anything out loud. This gets recommended to me. This is happening more and more frequently. How? How does the algo know. I've been watching Sanders clips yes, but not Slavoj. Not in a while at least. How is this happening? I feel insane

[@turperper]
