this is the debate we really needed
>>543314038Why is he picking his nose?
I recall that time Zizec was interviewed on Piers Morgan. Piers brought on a guy to question Zizec's weird chain of reasoning. At the end, Zizec completely crashed out and folded up like a cheap tent. Piers cut the interview short in the most jarring way possible.
>>543314038Zizek would wipe the floor with Fuentes, and possibly his nose.
im always shocked to see the occasional person treat zizek as someone worth listening to and not just a novelty meme guy. he has virtually nothing insightful to say about any modern issue, its all just platitudes and crass versions of things you'd see under snapple caps
>>543314336If you sit close enough you may bring home a souvenir from his nostrils
Two psueds argue. Who cares?
>>543314453had an insufferable college professor who constantly showed Zizek clips in class for seemingly no reasonwe never broke out into groups to discuss the clips, never referenced them in assignmentsafter each clip, he'd just ramble on again about how Charlie Chapman movies are very Marxist
>>543314453>>543314445Jordan Peterson couldn't argue his way out of a wet paper bag and got walked on by some random shitlib literallywho on that 20 x vs 1 y show, and even up against that guy, Zizek consistently just moved the goalposts on the issue of communism, when even a mediocre debater or thinker could've argued the point and come out ahead. Zizek is entirely hot hair with absolutely no substance.Fuentes has proven himself good at rebutting hostile people, if nothing else. There's no reason why he would lose here. Although the most likely outcome is they spend an hour talking past each other and no topic gets anything close to a closing point.
>>543315068Zizek is a fucking GOD compared to the Zoomer shitheel you just mentioned. He DOES use that word, Fuentes cannot.
>>543314038Is this real? Why would he debate a clown like Fuentes?
>>543314393You probably didn't understand a word.
>>543315183it's real. Žižek told me over the phone. it's taking place in 2 weeks
>>543315138Zizek has influence precisely in one area: out of touch pinko academia. If he was "a god" he would have a prescence in other places too, but he doesn't. That's what happens when a person is all talk and no substance, and when their insufficiently dimensional logic progression gets debunked, then these kinds of people end up falling back on "well you just don't understand what I am saying"/"these words I am using mean something differently when I used them" type shit.Zizek will be a footnote in these last years of modernity, whose ideas ultimately took up a lot of time, and went nowhere.
>>543314038Pointless debate because the two are on completely different intellectual levels and would talk past each other. Fuentes is charismatic but knows nothing of theory. Zizek is extremely unlikeable but whilst not being a great mind, actually nows a damn sight more than Fuentes. Do much more thst the two can't even discuss the ideas.
>>543315362>If he was "a god" he would have a prescence in other places too, but he doesn't.You mean like being a pop culture icon lolYou're out of your depth, memeflag
>>543315406>pop culture iconOnly he isn't.
>>543315390>Zizek is extremely unlikeableWhat is this, Shit Takes Day?https://youtube.com/shorts/7CGhfOTPy4I?si=1jaNpRYlpPa7j8Ff
>>543315442He has more bestsellers than Fuentes
>>543314038>Nicolas J. Fuentes versus... a literal who.This is whatvI don't like about Nick. The energy and time that could be put to promoting 2000s gen-z culture is being wasted on pointless political bullshit like this.
>>543314038I can't stand listening to that coke head sniffle and rub his nose like a fucking moron.
>>543314038Both faggots.
>>543314038The USA needs to be split into different countries. The West Coast, New York and New England shouldn't live in the same country with the white trash of the south that Sherman didn't kill when he had the chance
>>543315500So? Fuentes isn't a pop-culture icon either. He also has the benefit of being half a century older. You're conflating being well known within very niche social and academic circles with being widely known. Outside of the tiny range of awareness, literally nobody outside of Slovenia knows who he is (I don't know the degree to which he is well known within Slovenia, which is a different argument(.
>>543314336Because he's Žižek
>>543314038zizek is the embodiment of the antonym of "aura"
>>543314038Trump is a dictator
>>543315631Well, you've convinced me and therefore I no longer know who Slavoj Zizek is.
>>543314038More internet slop for internet dwelling spastics. Go outside. Nobody cares or knows who these people are.
>>543315795Slovakian guy who ran for president and lost
>>543315068Bro zizek would fucking murder nick, not to mention nick can't touch him as he's a fucking balkoid that gives no fucks about western sensitivities, not even close
>>543315795>communist goalpost mover is defended by communist who moves the goalpostsI am at least happy that you didn't try to make it a semantic argument first, that's usually the next step.
>>543315922Never heard of him
>>543315935I don't understand what you're trying to say.
>>543314336He's a south slav and also he became fucked up after he had a stroke
>>543315930Like I said, the endpoint of the "debate" will be an hour and a half of the two of them just talking past each other, and their respective audiences/supporters saying their own guy won, while dismissing the other out of hand.
>>543316009Doubt it, they aren't stupid and will def not talk past each other, however zizek will def win and be able to counter everything nick comes up with
>>543314038AMERICA NEEDS A TATER-DICK
>>543316118https://voca.ro/1laUIJMjRBFG
>>543315953He has some good documentaries about movies, he was a good communicator and pretty smart for a dogmatic marxist
>>543316196Nigga can u readI have some of his books
>>543316251Do you read them?
>>543316118I guess we'll see.>>543316314Nobody actually reads Marxist literature. I have not met a single Marxist who has read Capital.
>>543314038https://youtu.be/39hqY3nH5ug?
>>543316314I have a piano with one short leg, so they are in use
>>543314038And Fuentes isn't qualified to be that dictator.
>>543316432Is very hard to find, in Chile it was the #1 confiscated book that will land you in jail for 17 years
>>543314038I listened to around an hour of this "Zizek" guy, 10 years ago? It was the most lack-luster, over-dramatic, antic-filled hogwash I've ever seen. The spectacle appeared to be centered around "protraying" the "sense" of genius rather than actually saying anything of genius. It was a whole show. A propped up stage of midwits to oh and awe at the retarded theatrics of his body tard-movements and middile-eastern hand gestures; while saying the most mundane, nonsequential soundbites (in order to protray 'disorganized mad man scientist' to the easily swayed moron viewer seeking to be entertained) and common knowledge boilerplate takes. It was so dumb, I didnt even investigate his background, history or origins like I literally do with everyone. I then erased him and deleted him from my mind.>omg, zikek is the absolute god!>i transitioned into a woman last year!This is the average zikek tard. Also, Nick is a gay fed.
>>543316432>Nobody actually reads Marxist literature. I have not met a single Marxist who has read Capital.This is true. The same as 98% of Christians never reading the Bible.
>>543316432Zizek has read it. Some other adacemics have read it too. Probably some people on the billionare capitalist side have read it too. It's actually useful to think in marxist terms if you're a capitalist too.
>>543314038>*sniffs*>we can zee already zis motion iz indefenzible on eetz face..>1000 words later>there iz no more and further countertopical argument to bee made zat satisfies the priiivailing zeitgeist more than dimocritik governance thus communism iz ze only sistim dat wil giv peepol ze firm lidorzhip zat zey crave
