>>24143492Too many fucking hot dogs.
>>24143492rip hegelstan
god i wish that were me
Good riddance to that disgusting hobo. How the fuck did anyone ever praise this literal drooling retard?
>>24143492Dude looks like he smelled fucking awful. He probably did
>>24143492rip slavojend of an era
>>24143492disappointed. I lost my smile when i found out he isn't dead already.
>>24143492sadly untrue
is he right?https://www.e-flux.com/notes/650324/david-lynch-as-a-pre-raphaelite
>>24143492He's not dead. I didn't realize that dude is 75 though. I thought he was in his 60s.
>>24143672Imagine riding a bus to work because your car broke down and you can't afford to fix it yet. Then Slavoj approaches you on the bus and asks "Is this seat unoccupied?" you go "No," and he sits down next to you anyway. That's the kind of impression I get from him. Thank you for reading my post.
How did he ever get hired by the Russian Times when he talks so much shit about Russia
>>24143947to me he looks like a really disheveled 55 year old, which I find impressive.
>>24143947>>24143981I'm kind of shocked, he actually looks pretty good for mid seventies.
>>24143947>He's not dead.No, he's dead. That's a simulacra.
>>24143980because most of these "russian times" news channels , magazines and journalists groups are mostly based on western countries like Britain,Germany or france to promote western psyops.
>>24143981>>24143993The beard and the fat do a lot of the heavy lifting desu
>>24144016I guess the gravity of his jowls stretch the wrinkles out
How can he die this late when all he eats are McDonald's and hotdog
>>24143492First we must consider the corpse. The corpse itself cannot be harassed. It's the ultimate sexual partner. This Lacanian symbolic effigy turned mindless automata. Consider the zombie, a complete embodiment of the death drive, it has no self and it is perfectly sublimated in the death drive. If the symbolic funeral rite is interrupted then the corpse is doomed to wander and without the benefit of Lacanian sublimity which has transferred itself to the body. Of course headshots still count which brings us back to whether the corpse is really a corpse at all in this case. Consider cases where a living person experiences necrosis of a limb and we see that the so called zombie experiences this as well. At this point we might ask ourselves whether it is we who are dead and whether the zombie is alive in the lacanian sense.
>>24143492Fuck off with this shit thread, I nearly got a heart attack bro
fuck anyone who doesnt like zizek, for real. you can disagree with everything he says but theres almost no one else doing anything close to philosophy and intellectual discussion as a popular figure. every vote against zizek as a good thing is a vote for whatever the hellish alternative is, zoomer youtube influencers and joe rogan types
>>24144613>zoomer youtube influencers and joe rogan typesthose are just neozizekians
>>24144613>respect my youtube intellectualkek
>>24144646He's a more serious intellectual than anyone on /lit/
>I remember once when I was in my early teens my father caught me reading a Bible – I was buying books already – and he sat me down and tried to convince me how this is all nonsense blah blah. He was terribly afraid that I would be seduced by it. I was shocked – like, if he is really an atheist, why is he so worried? Has he some doubts?
Zizek is basically the leftwing version, of that one loud unkept uncle who keeps making comments, like:>Negresses have such big asses, so that when they fucks their vagina's tilt forward and she can experience deeper penetration and a bigger chance at getting pregnant.>Orthodox Jew have sex through sheets you know, they cut a hole in their sheet, put their cock inside and fuck their wives.>You know Muslims invented the goat-skin condom and then we European improved on it, by taking the goat-skin out of the goat.At the family gathering, everyone is uncomfortable, but also completely entertained.
>>24143980>>24144003That was before the war, but I think the Russian approach to these things was pretty scattershot and they'd just give a platform to anyone provided they were critical of Western politics. But they were already bleeding leftists after the Crimea annexation and the big invasion really killed that off except for the most mentally-ill and deranged people who shill for Russia. The Russians now just seem to want team players.
>>24143492Zizek would be the greatest thinker alive if he wasn't such a NATO shill. I mean he often gets Marx and Hegel wrong but he's always brillant, even when he's wrong.
>>24144778He is basically the most middle of the road “NATO and US are the greatest” ideology but with crude and nasty remarks tossed in.
>>24144778If you took out the nasty remarks he is entirely unrecognizable from any talking head on msnbc or cnn
>>24143980Because pre-Ukraine he used to concentrate on criticizing establishment democrats and downplaying interference in US politics
>>24144613Zizek is himself more known for YouTube videos and clickbait articles than his actual books so he is basically a YouTuber.
>>24144989He's Slovenian which is kind of a middle-of-the-road country. I don't know a lot about it, but it was the most developed part of Yugoslavia, so it was part of a socialist federation but it wasn't part of the Warsaw Pact, and exchange with the West was relatively more accessible. So you get people who were distrustful of Russia wanting to dominate the other Slavs, but they also weren't as in love with the West as others in Eastern Europe might have been (because they were behind a big wall with armed guards who'd shoot them, which paradoxically created a greater desire for what was on the other side).I haven't read much of him in recent years but I saw him advocating for something like NATO war communism. He tends to take critical positions like that. Like, okay, you want to fight Russia? The way we're doing it is not working so we need more industry and centralization. There's a migrant crisis? Okay, you're right, but nationalism isn't the way to go because you need a more central and coordinating European system to handle that rather than Europeans breaking that up and squabbling among themselves.

His vulgarity and media knowledge are what he rides on. Without those parlor tricks and sleight of hand he is nothing.
>>24144775When I was eight I read Gone with the Wind and parroted some insane pro-slavery shit from it for weeks until some adult stopped laughing for long enough to explain why it’s wrong.Kids are dumb. I wouldn’t want my kids near any relischizo texts until they were pretty old.
>>24145053This. I would give them anti-racist baby and one of those lgbtqia+ how to comic books
>>24143492That cunt is only 75!?
>*Slobber mumble mumble tangent about pop culture* and zat is why ve must support ze EU and *sniffle* Israel despite ze knowledge of the Gaza genocide. Something something pure ideology. How is Zizek any different from a status-quo loving neoliberal Dugin? Actually, scratch that, Dugin's philosophy inspires horror in other philosophers for its dark allure. Zizek merely inspires MCUesque soifacing
>>24146076I hate to say it but Zizek as "the most dangerous philosopher in the West" has been surpassed a few times over by now. The elites of the West are basically all some form of Marxist, Bioleninist, that sort of thing. They hate God and hate the Church and love to continue tearing down what the 19th Century and the Medieval Era built up, and insofar as Zizek conforms with these impulses he's basically their court jester. He's not dangerous to them at all, quite the opposite, he's the wholesome chungus that's useful to get the kiddies on board with their ideas.The actual dangerous thinkers are all some flavor of right-winger since the entire organization of the West since the end of World War 2 has been designed to prevent a genuine right-wing from ever coming to power again. This is why they got so bent out of shape by Trump. As lame as he is, Trump is the first non-liberal, non-left-wing figure to ascend to real power in the West since the end of World War 2. Even Nixon was onboard with the post-WW2 elite agenda. And so is Zizek. He's not dangerous at all, not to the people who deserve to be threatened.
>>24146105>Trump is the first non-liberal, non-left-wing figure
>>24144928Whats wrong with NATO? As opposed to being a Russia or China shill?
>>24146233NATO exists to advance the Anglo-Protestant agenda, which a lot of us simply disagree with. Russia and China aren't great but they're useful as foils to NATO to weaken it and undermine it. Of course, neither one is really strong enough to challenge NATO directly. That will have to come from within. NATO will have to be undermined from within, rather than defeated from without.
>>24146234>the Anglo-Protestant agendawhat the fuck are you yapping about?
>>24143492Oh, you're a Zizek fan? Name one of his ideas
>>24146262https://time.com/archive/6603746/religion-american-malvern/
>>24143492>Post your favorite books by him, or any thoughts you have regarding this wonderful philosopher who has left us too soon.not really, according to atheists life is meaningless and death is meaningless too. there was nothing lost because there was nothing of value to begin with.As usual atheists die and the world is healing.
>>24146234>>24144928>>24146233Reminder that the western military as we know it today was built by the nAzis.NATO is built by and for nazis and the nazis were recruited to develop the spatial programs of the western europe and the USA.
>>24146262He's actually completely correct, sad you don't see it.
>>24146234>>24146625da dimitri da da vodkaaa vodkaaa da da daaaaa davaiiiiii
>>24143963>and asks "Is this seat unoccupied?"Unrealistic, not enough slurping noises.
>>24144613This. Even disagreeing with him is a form of agreeing with him.“I AM GSHENUINELY OPPOSHED TO WISHZDOM”“What a wise man”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwDrHqNZ9lo75 years and this is still the most profound analysis he has produced.
>>24143492fucking liar
>>24144613He is kind of a nasty fat fuck though. If he didn't constantly touch his nose I'd find him a bit more bearable.
>>24145053>relischizo textImagine being the sort of sociopath who spawns children and isn't religious, consciously knowing you're damning them to decay and suffering for NO pay out. I'll never take an atheist who has kids seriously.
>>24145031>nationalism isn't the way to go because you need a more central and coordinating European systemSaid system is the root cause of the whole crisis, fucking retard. Sovereign nations had very functional border security for decades and centuries.
>>24147173What if I rape women on the bridge?
>>24147284>degrading religion to a coping mechanism because you had a shit lifedisrespectful
