In France and elsewhere, everyday insecurity hurts the poor much more than the rich.

Why is it still surprising that zizek has shit take?

He never liked movements like BLM and what is happening in France (I let you people figure out why)

He is a pro EU person. In fact he said that even the most right wing EU policies are more socialistic than any actual socialist stalinist states in Asia

Anti-trans pro-EU pro-NATO anti-Soviet but he proudly tells a story about how he used to have a picture of Stalin in his house so he’s obviously a communist

Likes Stalin, but only for the ethnic deportations & recriminialisation of homosexuality.

Jordan Peterson also had a portrait of Stalin in his house for some strange suppressed psychosexual reason. Zizek and JP didn’t really have all that much to debate over

True comrades doesn't need to hang Stalin portraits in their homes as they keep Stalin in their hearts.

Zizek is the master of having exactly the wrong take on any given situation. That’s dialectics baby

Zizek has written a silly article. lenin-laugh

Every month or so, like clockwork, somebody posts some zizek shit that seems somehow more unfathomably stupid than the last time. Somebody should do a wellness check on this fella. He’s either leaning really hard into his role as the clown contrarian of the left, or his brain is being literally devoured by some kind of ravenous fungus and he needs a doctor.

eating too much from the trashcan of ideology is bad for your health

why did people ever think zizek was cool

or was it just that no one could understand him but he sounded like he could be a leftist because he was unintelligible and verbose

People saw his weirdly colorless sweaters and thought he must be an academic marxist

"Pervert's Guide to Ideology," mainly. Also this one.

It is, I quote it (and the They Live sequence) pretty often because they are very useful perspectives for parsing living in neoliberalism.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
