The joke is that what he is saying directly contravenes the fashionable, liberal ideology of modern interpreters of Said. This holds, more or less, that people must be condemned to their origins and never be allowed to benefit from cross-cultural contact or study. As Zizek makes quite clear, he is totally against this.
This is more important that Bolsenaro is isolating indigenous Amazon tribes to leave them at the mercy of raiders and thieves that want to attempt genocide. We should be skeptical of people who use condescending rhetoric because it still can be use to distract the pubic from their real intentions.
In as much as time is linear, we cannot go back, or forward for that matter all we have is the present and onward. An important point Slavoj almost made was the freedom from the State in having no fixed identity - as Malcom X did. As soon as we affix an identity, we begin to acknowledge the power of the State.
The greatest Irony is that Said repudiates this East/West Binary, but you just wanted to dunk on an idea you haven't examined in any depth or seriousness.
For a variety of reasons, the internet and discourse (especially among English writing) is predominately "western" in its thinking. IF you want to discuss any other attitudes or ideas you do so in contrast to the predominant thought where you are discussing it.
It's just a way to take care of the guilt they have while doing horrible things. All this kind lip service is raping the ppl to feel good about themselves. Such a pretty victim
And it's victim blaming. It's such a shame they're so weak and backwards and need to be civilized because their culture is so special and sensitive. Just a shame they can't get their act together
+Count chocula like getting turned down by a girl and then she says you're so sweet. She's making herself feel better not you. She's doing you harm. But she doesn't want to deal w that. She adds insult to injury. Your sweetness is now a bad thing in your mind. She corrupted part of you that's was good now.
This video literally says nothing outstanding, and is a pretty vapid point: people other others so treat them like humans (capable of folly and evil). This does not actually communicate anything institutional, nor psychologically profound about colonialism. Curiosity and sensitivity of cultures that are different that ours is important to learn more about ourselves because we lack a self conscious politics today.

Good point. I'ts so corrupt. Ppl paying lip service to feel good while raping and staying in control

Wonderful! Agree so much with Zizek on this.
His most self-contained video I've found on this topic.

The greatest irony is almost all talk of Orientalism deals with the attitudes of the west- it is eurocentric.
I have found this video on "Arabic Occidentalism" from Eid Mohammed (although I haven't watched it yet).

Isn't that because the "Orient" is a Western notion?
Yes but you'll find these "critics of postmodernism" are really uninformed.

You could also find similar ideas on Alain Danielou's books specially about colonialism in India and Africa.
Can someone give me a synopsis? I can never concentrate on what the guy is saying. His tics are too distracting.

Are you sure that's what happened, Count chocula?

This was funny
"All that Bullshit and so on" Sounds like quite an accurate summary of himself.
Zizek, your main issue is that you need a tissue...
The most overrated film critic ever
Said's scholarship was shoddy as fuck, especially when it came to when he quoted Marx.
How was it Shoddy
