The fact of the existence of left-wing opportunists in Russia does not give the right to assert that this trend is the majority of the left in Russia. There are left-wing opportunists and social chauvinists in all capitalist countries. So the right-wing government is trying to disperse revolutionary progressive aspirations and put them partly at its service. The positions of the left internationalists are objectively stronger in theoretical terms. In any country. And the development of history, with the aggravation of national conflicts, will only confirm this. Such statements by Zizek from the Western left are dangerous. They give the right to call all Russian leftists wrong. And in fact generate chauvinism. On the contrary, it is necessary to show and talk about the true international left.
I don't understand his point. Why conservatives can't support poor countries and be against LGBT at the same time? It's not a trick. It's a holistic position.
What conservatives support poor countries? The only people who support the third world are Marxists. Conservatives defend colonialism. If you don't understand that you are deluded.
1感觉zizek有点陷入今天西方主流意识形态的思维定式啊，反对lgbt和站在第三世界国家一边并不矛盾。不同时间和地区的社会中左派的范畴都是不同的。有不同的意识形态完全不奇怪。 2所谓的左派其实也是一种归纳而已，左派内部也有很多不同，极端环保主义者、lgbt、第三世界国家立场 so on and so on。。。。他们都算左派，但是他们所具有的符号系统和意识形态显然彼此毫无关联性。 3国家控制的意识形态重点是维护国家统治，换句话说，是否“正确”或存在倒错结构，国家机器根本不在乎，有利于统治和维稳就行。
Being anti-imperialist and anti-LGBT at the sime time... so just like USSR? Russia is a far-left state same as USSR which created this KGB(FSB)-controlled Orthodox church
OMG it’s just called populism, bro… appealing to infantile, less sophisticated part of society, which is absolute majority in developing countries… the ideas don’t matter you may juggle them like you wish, but more restrictive ones are of course preferred.
@@Paul-xu6gt yes, but it starts there than you can sculpt it to whatever you want pushing different populist groups against each other or bringing them together to let’s say storm a parliament or something
zizek is very ignorant of actual history. zizek is nothing compare to George Kennan, whose predictions and warnings came true. has zizek even read any of FOIA documents from clinton-yeltsin meeting?? imagine taking a position of a philosopher over one of the greatest geopolitical analysts of all time. geopolitical realism > zizek's bs . i'm against putin, but it's foolish to ignore geopolitical realism. and by the way, zizek is worried about Uganda's trans law? but he didn't give a ffff when Uganda's cvd lckdwn: doubled child labor to 4Million, increased pregnancies in girls age 10-14 by 366%, and 5million students never came back to school.
yea modern philosophers and their followers overdose on bs critical theory that they just can't see or don't care about geopolitics. generally they're anarchists
@@john.premose 1. FYI, your comment did not show up in my notification. YT might be shadowbanning your comments. so check on your end. 2. To your question, yes. that is the only thing he is concerned about for Uganda bc he has no clue about geopolitics & economic of Uganda. USA sanctioned (& the world bank froze fundings to) Uganda b/c of that "trans law". In reality, USA sanctioned Uganda b/c Uganda & Russia recently made commodity & nuclear energy trade deals - ofc, under american imperialism independent nations must get trade approvals from USA, right?? So to gain public's support for this sanction, USA used this trans law as an excuse so sheeps like the woke left and uninformed fools like Zizek (and you) blindly and continuously support the US imperialism abroad. Besides, there are bigger concerns for Ugandan pple than trans issue. Uganda is suffering economically from both lckdwn collateral and USA sanction. You really think trans issue is important when 3000 schools closed and millions working in informal economy never fully recovered, and sanctions on top of that? in Uganda lckdwn directly doubled child labor to 4million. Cvd lckdwn created 400 million new poverty world wide (under $6.85/day poverty line. 100M are under $2.85/day line). it's what Professor Toby Green calls 'medical colonialism'. This new 'medical colonialism' is what you and woke left supported last 3 yrs. It's flat-earther level for Zizek to think that Putin is using trans issue to influence geopolitics and foreign policy. oh how myopic Zizek is. 3. you replied with zero rebuttal, so when you call me "reactionary clown", are you sure you are not projecting yourself? self-reflect a bit. And it's clear you didn't read FOIA documents regarding this war.
When did anyone bring up the word "woke". What does "woke" mean. If you're speaking on the letter salad that is the LG tv+ Community, then I will simply say a statement leaving out the long tiring word that has negative connotations (LGBTQ+): Everyone deserves to be treated equal, no matter the personal discomfort or distrust you feel towards them. Yes, people may be arrested and sent to prison but only if they do something that harms others. Being gay or trans doesn't harm others. It may discomfort them but fuck your comfort
@@MrBaumGeo its more than just mere equality what is at hand. The narrative of gender equality engenders a veil that pass through culture and hides the bigger inequalities. Thats what zizek has addressed as pernicious.

Conservatives can hold that position. I think that's a different point to the one he was making.
What conservatives support poor countries? The only people who support the third world are Marxists. Conservatives defend colonialism. If you don't understand that you are deluded.
The Ugandan official is the one who says you can't. That's the trick.
Yeah thanks for ignoring me
Sounds familiar
just like Knut Hamsun - the older the weirder - but Hamsun was a king and he always was weird
Great writer

Believing that being gay is a kind of sin is totally separate from wishing to use the state apparatus to criminalize the behavior.
You are anti-human and I hope you work on your Epistemology. Being anti-LGBT is ignorant and bigoted.

populism especially left populism is often smarter (not better) than the consensual center right and center left@@noisevoyager7307

imagine taking a position of a philosopher over one of the greatest geopolitical analysts of all time. geopolitical realism > zizek's bs .
i'm against putin, but it's foolish to ignore geopolitical realism.
and by the way, zizek is worried about Uganda's trans law? but he didn't give a ffff when Uganda's cvd lckdwn: doubled child labor to 4Million, increased pregnancies in girls age 10-14 by 366%, and 5million students never came back to school.
russian troll
@@andrej8498 if you read, i'm against putin.
but more importantly - why aren't you in the front line? go, you can volunteer.
So the mere fact that he mentioned it means the trans law is the "only" thing he's concerned about? Clinton and Yeltsin? Lol, reactionary clown.

When did Zizek become so woke on lgbtqp+ shit?
Did you ever actually listen or did you just try to confirm your biases in others?
You didn't watch the video EVIDENTLY.
Zizek is the most antiwoke person.
When did you become cringeworthy enough to say "woke"?
