> Žižek’s emergence as an open right-winger is particularly significant because he has long tried to pose as an opponent of capitalism and even as a “Marxist” or a “post-Marxist.” In pseudo-left circles of intellectuals and semi-intellectuals he has been celebrated and courted accordingly.

> In Der Speigel, Žižek gives free rein to his hatred and contempt for the oppressed and disadvantaged. His article “A Carnival of Underdogs” culminates in the sentence: “Brutality towards those weaker animals, women, is a traditional feature of the ‘lower classes.’”

> Like all right-wing propagandists, Žižek cares little for facts and seizes on individual cases—real or invented—to slander whole social or ethnic groups. This technique is well known from the anti-Semitic inflammatory writings of the Nazis, only this time it is not Jews, but Muslims, who are the scapegoats.

> The starting point of Žižek’s tirades are the events of New Year’s Eve in Cologne, which he terms an “obscene carnival of the lower classes.”

> He repeatedly warns the readers of Der Spiegel not to be swayed by sympathy for the fate of refugees. “Even if many immigrants are more or less victims who have fled from devastated countries, this does not prevent them behaving despicably.”

> He fumes against “the politically correct liberal left,” which is mobilizing its resources to downplay the incident in Cologne, and refers to “efforts to enlighten immigrants” as “breathtaking stupidity.”

> Žižek divides mankind into “three kinds of subjects”–a “Western, ‘civilized, bourgeois, liberal-democratic subject”; “those who do not belong to the West and who are obsessed by their longing for the West”; and finally, “those fascistic nihilists whose envy of the West is transformed into a deadly self-destructive hatred.”

> “Europe needs to demand of the incoming Muslims that they respect European values,” he says, and, “Europe cannot just open its borders, as some on the left demand out of a feeling of guilt.”

I really like Zizeks view on the immigrant crisis. Europeans shouldn't blame themselves for the situation in the East. Though they did have a percent of the hand in it, so did Clapistan, China and Russia. They shouls take migrants in but not allow for shitty behaviour. A lot of the refugees want too much. Saudi Arabia and other rich sunni states should be taking in refugees too. Very reasonable position and I agree with it.

>>
>>7684789
Did you read the article? It's anything but apologetic:

>This is why the naive attempts to enlighten immigrants (explaining to them that our sexual mores are different, that a woman who walks in public in a mini skirt and smiles does not thereby signal sexual invitation, etc.) are examples of breath-taking stupidity – they know this and that's why they are doing it. They are well aware that what they are doing is foreign to our predominant culture, but they are doing it precisely to wound our sensitivities. The task is to change this stance of envy and revengeful aggressiveness, not to teach them what they already know very well.
>>
>>7684867
he then goes on to contradict himself by saying
>The difficult lesson of this entire affair is thus that it is not enough to simply give voice to the underdogs the way they are: in order to enact actual emancipation, they have to be educated (by others and by themselves) into their freedom.

Doesn't seem like he's right wing, just that he fell into the trap of thinking political correctness has an effect on anything. Instead of using his time to fight real battles, he's gonna waste his time on nothing.
>>
>>7684867
>>7684873

I'm not sure this is a contradiction.

In quote 1, he's talking about 'educating' the refugees into Western cultural norms.

In quote 2, he's referring to 'education' generally, with no specific reference to Western cultural norms. If he has in mind education of a different character, then he's not in contradiction. However the lack of clarity is bad style.

Zizek is one of the few remaining proponents of the respectable Old Left. They may be Bolshy bastards but at least they have integrity and their ideology is internally consistent. I will be happy to welcome them to the New Right/Alt-Right/Progressive Right once they get sick of having their privilege checked constantly.
>>
When they bury Zizek in his uranium coffin tossed overboard a ship to sink in the Marianne trench the pounding of his fists against the thick hull will accompany them back to port. Winds all over the world will carry sniffs and fish ten thousand meters below the earth will rise to the surface.
After a period of political incertainty the earth people will look at each other and let their head rise again from their shoulder. They have lost Zizek, finally.

what's funny to me is how now that Trump is riding high on his vow to "behead ISIS" the NY Times doesn't even cover ISIS anymore...I thnk they chopped a couple aid workers heads off last week or the week before but it was just one of those little "AP Newswire" stories and didn't get a full write up. Clearly ISIS is manufactured by the CIA to give justification to attack Syria and reinvade Iraq, but once the narrative got out of their control and started helping an "outsider" they pulled the plug on the story...seriously, I read the NY Times everyday, haven't heard a peep about ISIS in weeks...last fall it was like you'd think ISIS was about to invade Poland or some shit...if Trump or Sander doesn't win the presidency then American democracy confirmed sham.

that's how u can tell leftism was never a serious threat to jewish capitalism, the nazis siezed the reigns of power in Germany and suddenly the whole world has to united to kill them all, but Stalin and Mao take over half the planet and we decide we can "peacefully co-exist", you can see which system is the real threat...marxism fizzled out after the creation of israel and communism was no longer useful to the jews, but fascism had to be stomped out immediately not left to "fizzle"

Except the left has fizzled out.

The left has been reduced to defending shitty social issues, while the right wingers continue to frame all discourse about what's really important
>>
I thought Zizek was sympathetic to the refugees. There's an interview of him saying something like, "of course I don't like them but I'll let them in because it's a matter of justice." Goddammit Zizek, why change your mind?

There is nothing to "expose" any more, you just look the other way and as long as the injustice doesn't affect you or those you know it doesn't matter.

Zizek wrote an article stating that most opposition to ISIS is in fact to fight (not necessarily through actual violence) someone else through ISIS
e.g. the left says "ISIS is bad and the west created it so we have an obligation to import millions of refugees" while the right says "ISIS is merely distilled Islam so we shouldn't let all these Islamic people in", neither really care about ISIS

you think obama got voted into the white house because the zitfaced uni students assessed and agreed with his economic policies?

get real man, reason why the right wing doesn't get much public support is precisely because the left manipulates people into focusing on trivial "social issues" and use emotionally charged buzzwords to paint the opposition as some mint julip drinking homophobic plantation owner.

>>7686154

obama got elected because wall street knew they could trust him, and he delivered, by continuing the bush bailouts, obama's policies are to the right of hillary clinton

It's just that since WW2 the "international elite" / Jews have discovered more sophisticated methods of crushing opposition. They don't need massive bloodshed any more, but they are waging war on us constantly and we are so downtrodden that we can't even summon up the will to fight back.

This is a very fine example of how gross a simplification the left/right dichotomy is.

I'm a leftist. I'd be construed as an extremist leftist by an American, being Scandinavian and all. I too consider political correctness counterproductive, and I do find mass immigration highly problematic.

The left/right dichotomy is politics simplified to the point of making it impossible to even discuss.

Also, get the fuck back to /pol/.

>obama being elected was largely an economic decision as the final answer?

there was nothing radical about obama other than his skin, the fact that so many faux-leftist thought he was the new malcomx just shows how blinded by race they are...he was always a wall street favorite, remember kucinich was the sanders of that election, not obama

Couple of things about Saudi Arabia m8.

First, they have taken a large share of refugees. The misunderstanding that they aren't taking in any refugees stems from the fact that Syrians (for example) aren't labelled refugees in Saudi Arabia, but guests.

http://www.arabnews.com/columns/news/804641

The UNHCR spokesman in the Middle East, Nabil Othman, estimates there are about 500.000 Syrians in Saudi Arabia.

Secondly, if you're fleeing from religious extremism, you really wouldn't want to go to Saudi Arabia. They're barbaric degenerates.

> Žižek divides mankind into “three kinds of subjects”–a “Western, ‘civilized, bourgeois, liberal-democratic subject”; “those who do not belong to the West and who are obsessed by their longing for the West”; and finally, “those fascistic nihilists whose envy of the West is transformed into a deadly self-destructive hatred.”

Actually, that was Alain Badiou.

Also

>The starting point of Žižek’s tirades are the events of New Year’s Eve in Cologne, which he terms an “obscene carnival of the lower classes.” The incidents in Cologne have been systematically blown out of proportion by the media in order to whip up a hysterical campaign against immigrants and Muslims. To date, there is no evidence that anything happened other than what regularly takes place in similar mass gatherings where much alcohol is involved.

So basically, the Peter Schwarz is implicitly calling the victims of the mass-molestation racists? Native germans apparently do this all the time, but the victims don't report it. But lo and behold, when the perpetrators are north africans, they run to the police. Is there any other explanation than racism for the discrepancy?

Schwarz is a victim-blaming piece of shit who should check his privilege.

And PC leftism is so absurd that they are now unable to move at all without stepping on someones toes.

there is absolutely nothing that Muslims can do that will make the left criticise them or even just the religion itself

I can't remember in which video it was that Zizek talked about it, but what he said was essentially:
>you can make fun of mohammed with drawings and so on and then say "well it is free speech"
>but if you make a joke about say, women being raped, or jews, then you're a woman hater and an anti-semite and so on and you're doing hate speech

>>7686336
There's a video, I think it might actually be from VICE, and yeah I know

indeed. looked into the comment section and all i saw was a pseudo-intellectual circlejerk of people who knew nothing about Žižek
>>
>>7686356
But that is exactly what they did, in the name of free speech and so on. The reason it's "accepted" by these liberal hacks is that it's part of a greater composition of "Western values" and doesn't explicitly say something. It's a drawing mocking a religious character and despite it being related to Islam, the golden religious goose liberals love, it still falls under that elusive "free speech" nonsense that prevails in our media, and as Zizek says in the video, it's because it isn't part of European "culture"/tradition, it's still in the realm of being okay to make fun of(as opposed to mistreatment of women, nazis, jews, and so on). It isn't some politician or journalist saying or writing something "problematic", it's a cartoonist's scribble.

>>7686360
Ah yes that's the one. It's a pretty shit video, or interview rather, the woman talks way too much and constantly interrupts Zizek.

National Socialism is probably the single most degenerate ideology in political philosophy. Nationalism always leads to war and rampant militarism. it also causes social divides, bigotry, and especially xenophobia. And not all socialist systems are created equally, some are obviously better than others. Humans need to focus on creating a more peaceful, healthier world; with a society that is democratic, well educated, and secure in their peace of mind.

you know, about political correctness
if you examine most politically "incorrect" statements you will notice they're often factually incorrect, being rife with all sorts of dumb shit: race and gender essentialism, historical ignorance, revisionism, colonisation denialism, ignorance on topics like gender dysphoria and mental illness, naive moral anti-realism, free will metaphysics used as a tool against disenfranchised groups (why didn't the poor make the free choice to pull himself out of poverty) and so on
another type of politically incorrect statements are simply value judgements, like "trannies have a zyklon b deficiency"
is there anything defensible about this? why is it important that everyone can hear another mini Hitler rant about the niggers and the fags and decline of western civilization and so on

it exists solely because of the disgusting socioeconomic state certain races are in, which itself is a result of those small tiny historical influences like slavery, years of economic oppression that prevented black people from achieving any wealth, redlining, segregation, literal race riots breaking out when negros are deemed too rich (greenwood, Tulsa)

yeah man twin studies and adoption studies don't mean anything experienced sociologists never thought of controlling for socioeconomic factors or nothing
Muslims in the west only rape because they're not given enough benefits and someone drew a picture of their prophet it has nothing to do with culture or genetics (99% of Egyptian women have been sexually assaulted but that's irrelevant ok)
political correctness only exists to make sure we all only tell the Truth™ at all times peace love and tabula rasa ok, praise chomsky
>>
>>7688387
I would ask you to imagine a circumstance in which you were both right. That minorities have been abysmally treated, for no justifiable reason, and this has had a horrific effect on them in the past and at present. And also that they are in some way genetically different such that their behavior or capabilities are diminished or simply different. It is also laughably ridiculous to assume that all the people Europeans have attacked, and vice versa, are a homogenous entity.

Now I'm not saying this is the case, because I don't believe either of us are geneticists? And i don't believe geneticists themselves have unraveled the meaning of the human genome, let alone its differences in different populations?

You don't actually have anything to back up either of these suppositions. You have no factual genetic evidence, and you have no unquestionable historical-sociological theory. You are doing the exact same thing as the racist, scientifically, and even intellectually speaking. You are just on different sides.

When you say 'it exists solely because', you mean 'it might exist partly because'.

nonesense, europeans and asians have anywhere from 2-5% neanderthal dna, while africans have none...so maybe pure humans are just more prone to violence and rape and cavemans are more prone to advanced mathematics and art
>>
>>7684574
Honestly, if you complain a lot about "white guilt" like it's a serious problem, you probably are racist. I'm not even saying it doesn't exist, but it's pretty clear some white people just want to emulate the victim status that minorities get instead of fixing anything broken about the system.
>>
>>7689220
You think neanderthals didn't share genes with homo sapiens before they interbred? Also learn to distinguish between interspecies variation and genome-wide variation, dipshit. Those neanderthal genetics you ramble about are also shared by Australian Aboriginals and Native Americans.

Why would they? You could equally assert that they're likely to be more vindictive towards the people they think wronged them.
>>
>>7686136
You should've kept reading anon:
"...'barbarian' lower class refugees who steal, harass our citizens, behave violently towards women, defecate in public... Instead of dismissing all this as racist propaganda, one should gather the courage to discern a moment of truth in it: brutality, up to outright cruelty towards the weak, animals, women, etc, is a traditional feature of the “lower classes”; one of their strategies of resisting those in power always was a terrifying display of brutality aimed at disturbing the middle-class sense of decency."

While you might honor the oppressed classes by claiming them to be introspective of their position, the reality is much more crude and reactionary.
>>
Displacing people from cultures where it isn't customary for women to even show their hair, into modern western cultures where even public advertising is often pornographic could not possibly lead to sexual frustrations and rampant crimes(rape, sexual harassment) of the sort that is caused by sexual frustration?

Good one. Borrowing that.

>gender essentialism

Testosterone leads to behavioral change. Increases ambition, motivation, and risk-tolerance. Also promotes pro-social behavior in bargaining games, esp. when given to women (whereas women who got placebo but thought they got testosterone acted like dicks).

I mean, I'm an idiot, but I'm sincere when I'm saying I have a hard time seeing how anyone can believe in non-essentialism when science basically discredits it.

zizek is a lightweight, it just shows the poverty of public discourse that this guy is the only guy writing at an adult level...sure, when he writes an op-ed for the ny times it's probably the best thing to grace those pages in months, but only because the ny times is a mouthpiece for zionist banking outfits which publish the most bland mind numbing and least insightful "commentary" humanly possible

I think you have touched on why he is such an intellectual heavyweight. he is able to condense philosophy into 5 second sound bites that the masses can understand. well not understand but be entertained. they will then proceed to take selfies with their iphones in high fashion then post it with a tweet about the evils of consumerism. but at least he has found a way to make it a part of the pop discourse again in his small part. remember the wider audience he is trying to reach is more familiar with the works of jayden smith.
