*sniff* *sniff* dat ish why dis ish precishhhly ideology today

This is how I imagine /lit/ posters to look and behave.

pleb here

if he is so smart why is he a communist?

also what does pure ideology even mean? Is it a good or bad thing?

>if he is so smart why is he a communist?
Because he didn't start from the assumption "gommunism is bad :DDD" like all of the Americans you know

>>7813245
>also what does pure ideology even mean? Is it a good or bad thing?
>Unfiltered ideology

>>7813245
Means you're drawing conclusions based on predetermined notions of how things should be done without thinking through those predeterminations.

>>7813254
And the more your conclusions come from those circumstances, the more your conclusions are just purely ideology.

>>7813254
>>7813254
So based off these points, which make sense to me, I presume Zizek isn't just a meme?

>>7813316
He is treated seriously in academics whether people like him or not. He's not the biggest force, but his career has been built around poking holes in as many disciplines as possible. At the very least he's inflammatory.

>>7813316
He's actually an established name in the field of philosophy, teaches at university and has his shit published all the time. Otherwise he wouldn't be on Big Think.

>>7813338
>>7813339
Interesting.
Which of his works would you recommend to start off with?

When he speaks in his native language, he probably just sounds like a normal, well-spoken individual.

>>7813367
sublime object of ideology

I am scared to debate Zyzek. What if he calls me an ideology?

>>7814285
call him a spook
assert ownership of every piece of his property when he tries to use it by batting him away violently from it
assert ownership of him

>>7813249
Its quite usually the assumption of "force is wrong"

>>7813339
>Otherwise he wouldn't be on Big Think.
I don't even dislike Zizek, but what kind of reason is this? Have you seen those who appear in Big Think videos?

>>7814338
>tfw you will never assert ownership of his flabby white fat ass

>>7813245
Pure ideology is what makes people make idiotic statements like "if he is so smart why is he a communist?"

>>7813245
Yeah when I was a pleb I thought that too:

"Why are there so many smart communists, wasn't that like debunked a long time ago? Gommunism killed trillions!! :DD" or "Why are there so many smart christians? I thought only retards believed in gawd!! :D"

Turns out my mind was clouded by bullshit (and cold war propaganda).

>>7814984

So now your mind is just clouded by a different type of bullshit.

>tfw subscribed to Big Think on youtube just so I can get mad when Bill Nye's in a video

>>7814984
The reality is that they're only pretending to be smart.

>>7815047
yeah grimes probably posed for that pic for similar reasons

>>7813245
he isn't a communist though

>>7816821
what is he

>>7814959
Usually there are professors and well-known people who go on Big Think.

>>7813316

He is the rock star philosopher, whatever good or bad that may mean

>>7813245
solipsism

>>7816828
A fascist

Can someone explain why he is so popular here? Why him in particular? Or is he just a meme because of his mannerisms, demeanor and speech.

>>7817879
>is he just a meme because of his mannerisms, demeanor and speech.
yes

>>7817911

Well that's strange. I'd expect people here to show more maturity than making someone a meme because of these factors. It just seems so shallow and childish.

You are right, he went full retard in believing a flawed ideology that is so flawed it never been acted out

Can someone post that video of him talking about his cabinets?

>>7813245
Are you retarded? No, really. I'm concerned for your health. Does mommy know you're on this site? Fucking Americans.
