So much for having a conversation :)

[pokeweedpathos]

Any criticism of this speaker is gender oppression. LOL.

[prolelog]

"95% of Marxism is a disaster and horrific"...well, maybe it's time to read "95%" of it.

@MD40LD50 Are you by any chance a misogynist or a reactionary?

[MD40LD50]

[LewisQ]

[kantimmanuel05]

honesty and tolerance have always been criticized by zizek

[PaashRevolutionary]

poor delivery of an important message, with a lame 6 minute self-introduction in the beginning..

[ibreathealot]

She says um every other word!

[thomasbhunter007]

Well, she may have been invited to give a lecture, but just happens to be seated rather than behind a symposium. She is trying to speak quickly, as you can hear at around 3:00, so I think - again - that she was invited specifically for her thoughts. Probably a quest speaker for an undergrad course (vice postgrad) given the content.
