Bayarea415 was a big fan of him, and so am I. Žižek is an incredibly original thinker, easily top 100 of this century. Their documentaries Pervert’s Guide on Cinema/Ideology and Dreamworlds series are some of my favourite videos, and today I watched Žižek’s competition debate with Jordan Peterson, where the latter looked like a curious, heartbroken old man.

I am also taken aback by his views on Russia’s operation. He is likely trying to play safe in Europe, with his doctorates and various positions. His documentaries were also insanely good.
Very disappointed. Muad also gave me a masterlist to read. Why do figures have to be like this?

I will just savour his older documentaries and the Peterson debate. Might as well not exist for me since 2022.

I still consider myself a baby leftist and by no means even half as educated as most of you here. I am very unconfident about identifying myself as anything beyond a socialist who can say the correct thing. This is how I transitioned: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/376206/comment/282571
But what I have always had is a very strong feeling to optimise things and do things for the greater good, learn a lot and never care about what the populist opinion is, being a rebel.

Actually, my work is more in the digital privacy and computing space, and I happen to be one of the most unique people, digital privacy socialist that is not a white anarchist/lib type. I created r/privatelife on reddit because privacy subreddits are largely US government propaganda, and those also love Big Tech apologia conveniently. I make guides for smartphones, computers, OPSEC and such things.

It aint even like people were wondering what Zizek was thinking about the conflict. Like who asked him?

He had JP in the palm of his hand, out manuvered him completely. Then he let him off the hook and showed mercy to his colleague.

Yeah he cornered JP by asking him who the scary marxists are, where are they? JP simply couldn’t answer. But Zizek didnt really press hard enough on this. JP has no clue what he is talking about and cant even name a single marxist when asked, much less these heinous neo-post-mega-cultural-marxists that are destroying the fabric of western civilization or whatever. I feel like Zizek took mercy on him when JP was at his most vulnerable moment.

JP was in a coma soon after. Zizek may have spared his life LMAO
