What's wrong with fairytales? Fairytales can be true. Fairytales can be more true than the other shit we buy as 'reality'.

Ash my favorite Catholic *sniff* theologist -- Chesterton -- said *tugs shirt* "fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten" *sniff*

Can you imagine if Z had something else going on, like a fucking hacking cough or something? Honestly I think we got off lucky with the amusing coke-sniffle.

the rise of White Nationalism in the US

he dislike the modern interpretation of them which makes them a delimiter rather than a cultural artifact

His criticism is mostly aimed at mindfulness movement, white upper middle class modernist buddhists who just use buddhism to support their capitalist market mandated desires, with some more criticism lobbed at japanese zen buddhists who supported imperialism.

Of course as a left culture warrior any ideology which is not left Heggelianism is to be crushed with long drawn out rambling talks

Zizek is amusing but his knowledge of Buddhism is basically less than undergrad level

Actually that's precisely why he hates them, try actually watching his videos.

he dislikes religions and philosophies that tacitly enable imperialist fascism and totalitarianism, like Confuscianism, Zen Buddhism, and Taoism do

No, it's because that is precisely what they are and it reminds him of the utter failing of communism to live up to its utopian idealism. Zizek, in truly psychoanalytic manner, blames the East for the failing of the West.

>Taoism
Can I have a [citation needed] moment here?

I looked for his lectures on Daoism, I couldn't find any. I did find the Buddhism ones.
