So can we all stop taking Zizek seriously now? It's been a fun decade, but it's time to stop.
I never took him seriously.
Most of the time I couldn't even understand what he was saying through that accent and lisp.
Whatever, man.

Why? His jokes work very well as philosophical parables.
I think he regrets the fact he has become a big funny meme philosopher instead of a serious guy.

i tried to watch him and just felt mildly confused/disgusted

His dirty jokes bullshit and "haha, fuck you"! vulgarity self-sabotaged him.
Add to that his ticks and sniffing and you have a meme philosopher.
If he was just ticks and sniffing, but serious like Badiou, he wouldn't have become this millennial sensation, who require clowns like him and John Stewart, Oliver and the rest, instead of dry and boring ( yet profound ) philosophers.

What does it matter, if he is not waking up at 7am every morning and firebombing the primed and propered edenic garden hedges money what difference would it make?
