These content-free, persistent, aggresive dismissals of Zizek make me curious to read his writing and see what freaks you out so much that it pushes you to post multiple sets of paragraphs to scare people off it.
- slibhb 5y agoIf you want some "content" you can listen to Chomsky on Zizek: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVBOtxCfan0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVBOtxCfan0 Or read John Gray on Zizek: https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2012/07/12/violent-visions-slavoj-zizek https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2012/07/12/violent-visions-... It's not like these critiques are uncommon or hard to find. What I find more "curious" is the backlash you get for criticizing Zizek. Somehow I don't think I'd get any backlash for forming a positive opinion after reading only "2.5% of his books" but apparently it's "anti-intellectual" to form a negative one.
