Slavoj Zizek - Rules, Race, and Mel Gibson 2006 1/8

[Checo384775]

What should the first rule be, I could not hear?

[MsPamAnn]

In Eastern and Central Europe, Jews dominated the international prostitution traffic that networked to North and South America, to India, Greece, and Europe. Jewish pimps preyed mostly on non-Jewish women. Many of the Jewish underworld figures saw no gap between their prostitution trafficking and their religious lives. A Warsaw thug, Shlomo Letzsky, organized a synagogue for Jewish madams, and pimps. This criminal community even had a rabbinical court to settle disputes between pimps.” ——-

[Intelectual95]

Zizek is highly overrated. Have any of you even read one of his works, let alone comprehended one of them? Do you need your intellectual food handed to you in the form of a whacky slovenian youtube personality before you'll pay any attention?

I despise this new breed of faggot pseudo-intellectuals the internet is churning out - people who haven't read a book in their lives, yet fancy themselves philosophers. Go and namedrop Zizek to your hipster friends you failures.

[karabangbang]

@Intelectual95

While agreeing with u that Zizek sometimes goes over the top I still can't help noticing that you miss an 'l' and furthermore disqualify yourself by shouting faggot and using 'slovenian' in a derogatory way (yeah, you didnt meant it that way;)

Jebem ti prvi red na sahrani, picko fasisticka!

[ShamanicMCCosmology]

@Intelectual95 lmao, ur youtube account username is intelectual95 ... how lame

[Rmahda]

@ShamanicMCCosmology and its been shut down cuz of how stupid it was ahhaahhaha

[FuzzypegX]

@Intelectual95 I have to agree with the fellow below. There is a certain irony in somebody who can't even spell intellectual correctly talking about "pseudo-intellectuals"... excuse me, "faggot pseudo-intellectuals", because obviously homophobia is synonymous with education.

[PtAltmVansanTarr]

LOL the polite offer that is meant to be refused is a great analogy for what he talks about.

[axisceo]

There is an interview book, in Spanish, with a philosopher woman, edited by Trotta. I am sure you can find it in english too. this book is great if you want to introduce to ZIZEK thinking and fundamental concepts. good luck!

[tyrannicoystercult]

@PROFESSOR23MAEHEMM23 i recommend The Ticklish Subject for the chapters The Transcendental Imagination, and Political Subjectivization. The subjectivization chapter is very crucial though alternative way to get the material is to read Ernesto Laclau's book that the chapter draws heavily from. Zizek articulates it efficiently and ties it to the Lacanaian/Kantian paradigms he focuses on. In untying politics/mass-psychology knots, Subjectivization is key: virtual and real 'selves' determine support

[sprucepantherkmt]

kill jews. the begining and ending of all phil and its good!

[peckhammanor]

@PROFESSOR23MAEHEMM23 nighty night!

You piece of sorry SHIT!!

[iComment17]

I love it how people leave long comments on his videos.

[skubiche]

@PROFESSOR23MAEHEMM23 Violence, Welcome to the Desert of the Real, and First as Tragedy, Then as Farce are all good places to start. Enjoy!

[CANWN14]

This is typical Communist trash.

[XYZandTime]

we live under your bed and eat your old copies of Sports Illustrated. And we will never go away.

[rudeskapunk]

You're typical white trash, redneck

[VendPrekmurec]

Communism is not so bad ideology as you think, bad are its people who become wolves later...

in communism ALL people had jobs in my country, every family has gone to vacation and visited the sea every year, the doctors, medical institutions and medicines were free... people were nice and optimistic about their jobs... but in other hand they were afraid to speak free, everything was censored,... and there were not so much wide range of products to choose in markets (like only one yogurt mark,..)

[jonxchiu]

ALL ideologies aren't so bad as you think, until they fail to become ideologies. :)

[zeitgeistgreece]

join the movement!

[ryeskelton]

Communism... one of the worst ideas to ever plague humanity.

[TheSpineyOne]

Still has some way to go in order to beat capitalism to that title.

We still don't know whether true left Marxist communism would work... nobody's tried it yet.

When Gandhi was asked what he thought about western civilisation he said, "I think it would be a good idea." The same could be said of socialism.

[nosophorus]

Marxist communism? Did you say that? This ideology is the greedest one that has already arisen in this world - much more greeder than capitalism. It is so greedy to the point of not allowing persons to buy toillet paper by themselves. Look at Zizek, he even can't trim out his own beard, try to imagine this poor man putting in practice his own ideas.

[SonofJahbulon]

what a twat.

[dantebezze]

@nosophorus :haha u got nothing on zizek,he's a genious..who are you?

[rudeskapunk]

My God your ignorance es quite amazing. He really lived on a communist country wich was Yugoslavia. All your ideas from communism being a sort of greed materialized are just hilarious. Maybe you live on a developed country, but you can't say anything about capitalism unless you suffered its consequenses, distorsions and pathologies

[dragmio]

Both communism and capitalism claim to be on the side of the honest, hardworking citizen. Of course, that's a lie in both cases. Communism had a decadent elite, but the rest of the people live(d) fairly OK. They were all equally poor, but noone was starving. In capitalism you have more rich people, but also more poor and homeless people. Communism offers more security, capitalism offers more opportunity. But, communism is better at delivering the greatest good for the greatest number of people.

[bananito2]

and that lie has been perpetuated by the same corrupted individuals: JEWS (as bolcheviqs in communism and mencheviqs zionists in capitalism)

The problem is not an ideology, which by itself can be good or bad. The one who put the ideology in practice is the one that give the character, the soul of the idea.

In the hands of Jews even humanitarism is misantropic.

[Lithium8404]

@bananito2 Obviously you are incompetant and should not be listening to any of these lectures. Using a scapegoat and saying the end...that seems easy enough, dumbass.

[theokratix]

were just not capable to put it into practice because of our shortcomings as human beings..

[feor2006]

@theokratix perhaps, but should we not try, no matter how imperfect?

[millionetc]

Shiza! 52,000+ views! There is hope for the world after all.

[LiberalVichy]

The majority of these comments are idiots who neither know nor care for anything to do with philosophy. Stop parroting popular prejudice, you twits, and get a mind (and pair of balls) of your own. The Progressive-University-Media axis won't support your crackpot worldviews forever.

[thorgray]

I cant even understand this guy.

All I know is i wouldnt trust him if he was blessed by the pope him self

[fractaldog]

given your admitted failure of comprehension what would make you think your character judgment is worthwhile

[LockedPig]

he sounds like an indian ))

[sexipistol]

yeah...he'd better stick to alcohol like every other conservative-right sided freak.

[lGnossos]

Not that I think you guys should be educated on drugs, but an itchy nose is a sign of opiate use lol :P

[TheGoodnessIsGood]

This is the kind of unbalanced crap that is going to give impetus and justification to the monsters to censor the last free flow information system - the internet. Nice illuminati symbolism by the way, you know that ties in with the owners of israel too.

[millionetc]

not too mention the grays.And the Easter bunny.

[CandyEyeProductions]

wanting new friends

im bored on cam 05

[feifeishuangyu]

I noticed more and more, from many aspects of my experiences from learning newest trends on internet. Key words: community, collabration, climate change, 2012doomsday, new age movement, new world order,reptalian conspiracy, iraq, obama... I try to figure out for myself why the world's so fundamentally wrong more and more. It seems the answer is getting more and more clear now. All things are pointing to one direction. History will change itself soon.

[Tusek420]

exactly.

[bilstew]

Interested in the last sentence, but fail to see how history will change itself.???Surely human beings will be the motivators of change and the making of History.

[bluespiral58]

It looks more like methamphetamine (speed). Cocaine would not last through a lecture.

[breeeegs]

I hate this dude

[fluorogoat]

Why?

[sdrs85]

looks like he's jacked on coke...

[danielsiq]

that's what everyone keeps saying, and in all his lectures too! see kids, drugs ARE fun and educational!

[peterbojkov]

Typical EURO intellectual castratto. The acclaim he gets from likeminded, inefiority-complex-stiken pseudointellectuals, is even more ridiculous than the man himself. Listening to this trash, I congratulate muself for leaving this barren continent of big egos and miniscule consciences. Good luck to all the incarcerated in this republic of phylosophers.

[Krelianx]

Unlike you, peterbojkov. A real genius of the times. I'd like to read one of your books. Maybe one of your papers objecting Zizek.

[koreindian1]

@Krelianx I didn't know you needed to be published in a journal to have an opinion.

[ididete]

@Krelianx You should read just one Plato's dialogue, or at least one Lacan's text and thoroughly understand it, or Kant's Critique of Practical Reason, or Heidegger's Being and Time -- and you will see that Zizek is just an intelligent clown, nothing more.

[pasheko152]

@ididete don't be so absolute! the people that firstly embraced Zizek are exactly the people who have read Plato or Lacan or Heidegger or Kant or, or...

[plutoslo]

ahaha! save us Peter !And save the cheerleader !

[dreknasmetani]

Žižek is from Slovenija

[dreknasmetani]

This guy is from Slovenija.

[ViktorW19]

Žižek is great, one of my favorite living philosophers.

[deadlyvengeance222]

Reagan is not a Name-of-the-Father. It means truth-- The same truth that the wall could not stand. Then the wall fell. You Lacanians need to study history. The entire Lacanian edifice is supported by the theorization of the human subject through Freud's concept of the unconscious. But the unconscious cannot be defined realized concretely. Nor can the Lacanian Real. Hence it is pseudoscientific nonsense that will fall just like the Berlin wall.

[electricrussell]

Now I see where the actor Jeff Daniels gets his image from.

[noselfnoproblemo]

If you dont get this guy, stop talking untill you do! Hes not a whole lot more "deep" than a 15 year old asking lifes tough questions. He didnt acheive his acclaim by being too deep for the common sheeple.Just listen and listen with the intent of possibly having a little ah ha momment. Hes realy a peoples phillosopher. I know I cant spell.

[bngdkf211]

exactly! This is why I love this guy.

[malchichikov]

I agree, he is a people's philosopher, but why is this a problem? Without proper clarification this starts to sound rather haughty, wouldn't you agree? Dividing "High Culture" from "Low Culture," just amounts to conscious class division, and calling inquiring minds "sheeple," to reprehensible phariseeism.

[breeeegs]

Here are a few quotes from this god among men. "Every time I visit Israel...I experience the strange thrill of entering a territory of illegitimate violence." "My immediate racist association was, of course, typical Jews! As soon as they [are given freedom] they start trading...in human blood!" I think he is definitely a racist creep and I hope he dies choking on his own vomit

[Elenalouisa]

hi breeeegs, where are these quotes from? If he really said that (what I find hard to believe as he normally sees antisemitism as paradigmatic for ideology per se) something is seriously wrong with him.

[blx223]

He assumes the reader is supposed to recognize a joke, It's obvious with the most brief studying of his (ever still controversial, but not stupid) oppinions.

[charlieparent2006]

Yea, it would be much better if he didn't talk openly about racism and just criticized Israel's treatment of Palestinians like everyone else on the left.

On the other hand, it's awfully convenient that this "racist creep" tells us what his spontaneous thoughts are so that we can convict him and sentence him to death by vomit-choking. If only all racists did the same thing!

[SmartPorcupine]

breeeegs, even if he said, it wouldn't be anything most of the world doesn't already think. Jews were given Israel as a state by the western powers after WWII (and that was a consolation prize for surviving the Nazi death camps -- I wonder why they couldn't have used a portion of Germany) Anyhow, Jews are the biggest assholes in the world now considering the treatment of Palestinians. Jews are new Serbs. Fuck Jews.

[patnais102]

1917 Belford declaration does it ring some bells to you?I guess it does not because you would not say such absurdity as: Jews were given Israel as a state by the western powers after WWII (and that was a consolation prize for surviving the Nazi death camps -- I wonder why they couldn't have used a portion of Germany)

[barrywinehousexp]

@patnais102

>consolation prize

Funny. Since there were German initiated negotiations to release their Jews to England to sit out the war, the condition of their release being that they would NOT be sent to Palestine; Himmler was concerned that they would try to despoil the "noble Arab peoples of Palestine of their ancient land" and such.

[RationalEmotive]

Ahm, ok, I encourage free speech even if it is far from being rational.

Tie your comment, of unabashed anti-Semitism in with what Zizek is saying or you are a non sequitur moron.

[UnFlaneur]

deadlyvengeance222: every science has its own terminology, or perhaps you didn't know that. For instance, I prefer 'epistemology' to 'that thingie about knowledge'

[Dogar230]

I've listened to this guy before. It seems to me that he's totally insane and incoherent, but he is interesting to listen to. :)

[KellyLogan]

Why not try to take one piece of this, like the relationship between the offered choice and the expected answer, listen to it a few times, and see if you can get it?

[KoroOutbreak]

I don't think it's fair to censor Daney's comment with votes simply because he doesn't yet understand Zizek.  I doubt Zizek would approve of such an act. He is meant to be struggled with, no? :)

[deadlyvengeance222]

Look at the state of Eastern Europe today. Now look at this guy. Are you gonna trust what this slob says just because he coats it in fancy psychoanalytic terminology? Anyone who speaks in a way that is elaborate or complex is just trying to make you think they're smart. They use it to hide the fact that they're liars. The Great Communicator, Ronald Reagan, understood this. When he single handedly tore down the wall, Zizek was just a trembling little Slav learning to read. He's a liar.

[HardJubes]

American hicks are not his target audience.

[jaejae74]

hehehehe...ouch....

[weiyang429]

who are you to tell him who he intends to speak to?

[Josko99]

He is one of the most respected new-age philosophers and you go and pick on his terminology, claiming he is a liar, hiding behind fancy terms, before you even get to rly know him? Secondly, when "Reganw as single hahdedly tearing down the wall" zizek already had his PhD and was running for president in Slovenia. And, as i can see from your selfcentered ignorat point of view, you don't seem tor ealise we are not in 1940's anymore. So take a step or two away from your history books and look around

[matryooshka]

If you think his way is elaborate and complex, it just says something about your own mental capabilities...and your comments on 'trembling little Slavs' merely exposes your own racism.

[Dogar230]

Funny, I thought it was Gorbachev's policies and the German people who tore down the wall. What did Reagan do besides make passionate speeches? Oh, and Zizek would have been in his 40's when the wall was torn down.

[daney17]

it aint about smart. it's about spirit and the body.

[KellyLogan]

Presenting facts and reasonable arguments is not useful in this case. dv222's myth-based ideology won't be affected by fact-based debate. If you want to reach someone like dv222, you have to use emotional rhetoric and connect to mythological touchpoints that dv222 will find more compelling.

[postcolonial1]

Well put. But I doubt dv222 will ever come back to this thread.

[patnais102]

Great Communicator Ronald Reagan hahaha

[marianstefan1]

Hyperactive ?

[opazovalka]

hes slovenian!!!

[gingerspock]

wonderful brain! He is so clear in the thoughts that it encourages us that someone in the human race is able to engage in the useful critique of our social situation

[mlezcano]

this guy is amazing... really.

[samdonuge]

maybe only thing youtube is good for

[luxOculta]

yep,i agree!

[illustratistefani]

wild man ...

[oitamakin]

keep it coming.

[herma57]

Vielen Dank fuer Zizek, Wunderbar Denken Philosophe,und Lacan Lust und Traum

[sicknessuntodeath]

Utterly autonomous class.
