Interviewer: Hello
Zizek: **Full on Zizek mode**
😂😂😂
Ha ha ha ha
Hahahahaha you made me laugh out loud. Thank you.
Yup thats what I thought
Thats what we want to hear right? Some interview kinda annoying because too much interruption
Employer: "how are you today?"
Me: "you know, Thats the irony of it....."
Probably concise for a lacanian cultural theorist
... and so on and so on 😊

i feel like Zizek has so much to say that he forgets where he is and just says all of it
Relatable. I excessively type in paragraphs.

I like the part of the interview where he went off on a weird tangent

He starts on a tangent
he does and is a master of weird tangent
"The book doesnt have any topics" i love this insane man
You mean the whole interview?
I think this gentleman was one of the best interviewers/moderators I've seen with Žižek. His demeanor was calm, he didn't frantically or aggressively try to reign Slavoj in, but also kept the tempo moving along when necessary with short, precise prompting and subject changes. Very nice work. Thank you for this.
Completely agreed. No point fighting against the tide

Acute analysis
I just love 7:55
"You were called the most dangerous philosopher in the West"
"Which was meant as an insult"
Slavoj says it like: They were trying to be mean, but I liked that title.
Dad: "Why do you got drunk in rehab?"
Me: "You know, thats the irony of it..."
"Sexuality is about how to best organize your failure"
well that gives me new hope.
Sexuality is about how you BEAST ORGANISE your failure.

@Gumbo Clay Working people voted Trump.
Working people dont need apparatsjiks leeching on them.
@Gumbo Clay *"because the working class are mostly white males"*
I hope you're just speaking on a national scale. Even then, that assertion is still inaccurate since the gender divide of the working class is nearly 50/50 (at least here in the U.S.). I agree though that the modern left focuses too much on identity rather than class.
Gumbo Clay
The entire reason that the Marxists switched to Cultural Marxism was because the Western working class rejected Marxism and was clearly never going to accept it as it was.
Marxism was always funded by Wall St. Chosenites anyway, because it is a weapon of racial supremacy and maximizing global usury.
Cultural Marxism is why the world has $200 trillion in debt. It’s a banker profiteering racket.
you mean the cold war in his body giving him sniffles?

@@johnantony797 Zizek said this
This channel has quite an eclectic mix of subjects. Mainly sport but then they throw in an interview with Slavoj Zizek. Always nice to have something else to talk about like language and reality at half time. Subscribed.
Wait a minute... Thank you to the interviewer (for once.) He didn't make the interview about himself; he didn't interrupt to prove how smart he is; he just gently steered the conversation, (Slavoj needs this lol) and shut up respectfully.
I would like to have a flanger-fuzz pedal named after Zizek.
Why are leftists such fans of speech impediments?
there is a mode that creates a tape echo called "and so on and so on"
Well, my zoom multi-fx makes crackly zizekian sniff noises on certain notes whenever you turn tube distortion up.
Comment section gives a good idea about the state of the world right now. No debates about what he’s saying just reams of comments about his ticks, often misunderstood for a runny nose.
Philosophy is wasted on people who hate to think.
Terrible shame as well as what he is saying about the political space, future of the left and that was very spot on.
Basically everything is immediately turned into a fucking meme

I am fully prepared to admit that you are correct.
@@caleb3909 well thank god you're here Caleb, voice of the people and scourge of the elite.
26:30 on Greta Thunberg
His simplistic take on reality aligns with hers. That's why he likes her.
"Science says this, so we should do something". It's fucking moronic. Unless you have real engineering solutions that actually work, no one needs another moron expousing "violent hatred"; which just deflects responsibility to others. "The capitalists" in this case.
He is just a pathetic commie that pushes the hard questions and solutions on someone else. All he has in his repertoire is "you should do something to make my life better". What a pathetic slob.
@@RealityGutPunch the science not only identified the culprits but also designed solutions, you fucking idiot!
JMAC LIVES So because we don't currently
have a solid solution, we shouldn't try to bring attention to something that important? Climate change activism isn't "you stupid fucking capitalists should make MY life better, immediately!" It's about identifying what's actually fucking going on and holding the ones responsible for it, responsible. It's not "capitalists should give me a free fucking ipad immediately", it's more like "I'm kind of terrified about the world my grand children will inherit, and we should do something".
We can't be angry at gross negligence for profit, because we don't have an immediate solution? I don't understand that at all, we're likely to never get a solution unless we demand it, and that might not be enough.
Can you maybe elaborate? Because it seems like you have a simplistic take on reality right now
I salute you editor. This has saved me an hour tonight. He's still talking cobblers but at least now I know!

@TheSingularity We are all family. So why do we need borders?
@TheSingularityLol I forgot I made that asinine comment. I thought I was replying to a different thread. But yeah in all honesty I'm not for OB.
@TheSingularity Why not? Is it impossible for "leftists" to defend their borders? No, in fact that's been going for quite some time. And same with family. A majority of leftists do not favor literally open borders, if that's what your referring to. But I don't know why I bothered to respond to this, it just seemed exceptionally stupid.
@@beltranjr11 Glad to see he understood and didnt feel the need to answer , great point❤
@TheSingularity We don't despise the concept of family. I happen to think the nuclear family is the ideal form of family organization, I just don't throw a tantrum when somebody dares to step outside that ideal, as the right do.

It must be so hard being so intelligent and trapped in your intellectual apartheid in the sense that you see the world so differently that the average person is segregated from you.
Vivimos en una s palabra
*tips fedora*
don't worry, Zizek mostly surrounds himself with people he thinks are as smart or smarter than him.
Segregated by what
Which is euphemism for seeing it correctly
Ths is like an acid trip, condensed down into an hour. Starts out frantic, tangential and chaotic, then it slows down a bit and reality starts to re-solidify! I love Zizek I'm pretty sure youtube invented the ability to watch things at half speed for talks like this!
Please, forget his nose and listen him
He's talking gibberish
Even without the ticks, broken English, speech impediments... he's just rambling on about inconsequential nonsense, one minute its a Hugh Grant movie, next a Polish war analogy then Boris and Freudian name slips. Its like a live action William Burroughs cut-up.
@@theNomadz well, I didn't say that he is easy to linten
shniff
I kinda like the fact that he seems to not give a fuck about his constant sniffing
“That was another thing, many leftists say why did you not cut his balls… I wanted to show no, I can be nice, get the point through…”
Revolutionary, especially given how this approach has been crushed to bits in debates and elections recently. The effort to remain objective in truth and serious about the issue is not being done correctly on a grand scale, against fashionable combativeness.
Herbert Marcuse coined the term "repressive desublimation."
Richard Murphy He used that concept in one dimensional man, correct?
@@dm6801 OOooh, I know; I use the concept in an upcoming book of essays. Not enough about Marcuse's thinking.

@@lifeisclimbing no.
I like his take on Greta Thunberg. Whatever one's opinion on the surface matter, her delivery of a stern indictment over national dithering on climate change was very affecting. "How dare you!" hasn't been deployed so earnestly in recent memory.
I was happy to discover this thinker.
At about the 17:00 minute, Zizek makes a prophetic observation about Corbyn and the Labour party's catastrophic failure to take a firm position on Brexit - the thing that ultimately led to this disaster December 12th election result.
What he's saying about how the western world views catastrophes at 33:00 is kind of brilliant , it explains why we seem to be unable to act on the climate crisis subject
Technology falls behind when trying to record this legend..
Fine show! Thank you.
It's incredible how many fascinating insights Slavoj is spitting here... I loved it!
megaproblem is my new favorite word
Sometimes it's difficult to not interpret Zizek's philosophical ideas in an idealist manner. You have to wait for the examples and make something from them.
this guy is a monster in the interviews. he can talk and talk without get to the point. i really love it
49:20
Daaamn, interrupted just when it was getting interesting, just to come back to boring question about Chernobyl.
Means he wasnt listening
That really pissed me off. Interviewer zoned out and crashed a very insightful thought train. Now I need to know WHO OR WHAT WAS ZIZEK ASHAMED OF?
He'd been speaking for 20 minutes uninterrupted and I wanted to move things onto cinema and TV. Sorry it's not to your liking.
@@olidugmore8601 It's fine, Zizek has a tendency to ramble on, you did cut him short at an interesting point but I understand that as an interviewer, you had other point you wanted to cover in the limited time you had.
It's an exceptionally good interview, by the way. You covered many fresh topics. Good job!
We need Žižek on Rogan, he makes 4 hours long podcasts, perfect format for Žižek.

Zizek is a great guest, you just need to ask him a question and let him talk for the next hour or so
The ghost of Joe Cocker lives in his nose.
Obviously having a bad speaking day. Sounds like he has a cold. He writes better than he speaks.
@@kaljic1 His speaking style is absolutely unique :)
@@Gnampf3000 At this precise moment it is uniquely incommunicable. I can't hear what he is saying and he should have been given a tissue instead of observing him mopping up snot with his hand, and subtitles.
@@hansiesma16 Fair enough, but I do not know an interview of his where he does not do that
@@Gnampf3000 Ok I haven't watched him so I didn't know that but I'm miffed because I can't pick up what he's saying and everyone else seems to be doing so, or are they filling in the gaps with assumptions?
I'm a Polish native speaker. 11:54 Prof. Zizek quoting Polish conservative politician completely changes what he really said. The politician didn't say "Now it's our turn to fuck the whore" . He said "Now us" or "Now it's us". It has nothing to do with fucking whores even though he used the word "kurwa" which means whore in Polish. It's the same situation as with word "motherfucker" in English. It's often used only as a comma in many situations. I wonder who those Zizek's Polish friends were :) Was he misinformed or he misinforms? I think it's unlikely he just got confused trying to illustrate his point.
Yep, that was interesting.
Nah, motherfucker would not be used as a comma in the situation he described. It would be obscene and the literal meaning is definitely hovering close by.
I want to hear him say silly sausages
Gareth Wigglesworth “schelling sausages”

2) Take a shot every time he sniffs, touches his nose, says "and so on and so on" or "ideology"

LOVE the great zizekian reversal...Thurnbergs masculinity, right wing postmodernism, left anti establishment. Read more Hegel! Frankfurt school too!
I think thats one of zizeks major contributions to free thinking. While newer leftists either refer later critical theory (demirovic, habermas, even a guy like richard david precht etc) or to post structuralism (buttler, foucault, derrida and all the french douchenozzles) zizek goes a step back refering to hegel and does a synthesis of hegel dialectic as the thesis and marx materialism as the anthithesis. With this 'fusion' of thinking he becomes much harder to understand at first grasp, because like i said most leftists believe mostly in the one or the other ideology and he uses both. But he then creates a pattern of thinking/ perspective which is completely new therefore very refreshing while not less true. A good example of this, for me was when he criticised 'dialectics of enlightment' (adorno and horkheimers major work as an explanaition on how nazism could become a thing as a logic following of the historic of reason itself). He didnt criticise it as being non valid or retarded/ untrue etc and therefore denying historical materialism. He just added that tje frankfurter school failed to explain the suffering in gulags and the raise of stalin with this logic. While stalinism for zizek was even a better example of the 'negative somehow pervertisation of enlightment'. He then gives examples of this thesis to ground it. Like the gulag members once a year had to group up and sign a birthday card for stalin. This shows the pervertion. On this level in stalinsim all people were treated the same and even prisoniers had 'the right to sign a card' or their signatures was seen as somehow worry enough to fo the effort of gathering them (what would be totally unimaginable with jews in auschwitz since they had no inner worth for the nazis). On the other hand they were judt burgeoise scum and had to work until they die...
Does anyone know if Zizek has a tour list, for what universities he will be talking at this year? cause I would like to go to a talk if he comes to Chicago...
What is the name of the Irish scholar Zizek talks about around 9:00?
Angela Nagle
I don’t think the interviewer understood anything said after Chernobyl. He couldn’t engage Zizek in dialogue, Zizek starts his trademark monologue and pedagogy and the dude finally snaps awake to say something, ‘hey what did you like about the popular show you said you hated?’
lollllllllllllllLLLLLLLLL
ha ha ha, it did seem like he was sat there for an hour wondering to himself what Slavoj's hot take on Chernobyl was.

Finanziell Unabhängig Finanziell Not really. I think you can still differentiate liberals from leftists.

Zizek really makes it clear in this video that ”liberals are not true leftists.”

Nice podcast. Very refreshing. Literally.
37:10 -- You don't hear about the Ozone Hole any more, because, it's been healing. The various countries got together, worked out top-down protocols for solving the problem of ozone-depleting substances, and then... ...that worked! So the Ozone Hole was definitely solved by responsiveness to scientific perception, and social action in response.
I’d love to hear what he has to say about people trying to attach reparations to the climate stuff. I’m guessing he’d say it was a Trojan horse.
Zizek is a genious and his constractive analysis of society grasps all the problems we face in our manipulative world.. He reveals in what mess we are thrown in. Well done .
