Haven't watched all of this yet (link in 3rd post), but I am keenly interested. #SlavojZizek says: "Trump is...a symptom, a reaction to the failure of the mainstream welfare state liberal democratic [capitalism]."

I'm not entirely sure of that final word, because the interviewer interrupted him. 🙄 But even without that final word, I think Žižek nails it.

Donald J. Trump as president --not once, but twice (at least)--is exactly the insane fascist autocratic bullshit you get...

"La obscenidad trumpiana no permanecerá para siempre: hace falta un payaso (Trump, Musk) para establecer un nuevo régimen feudal, y en cuanto este régimen empiece a funcionar plenamente por sí solo, los robots fríos (Vance, Thiel) podrían hacerse abiertamente con el poder." Slavoj Žižek.

Wordy Words on Words
It’s super interesting to read a philosopher’s take on how he thought Covid would impact our culture as a whole.

He was wrong, but I think we all were. I distinctly remember thinking that Covid could - for all the heartache and death it brought with it - also bring a reframing of our lives and a refreshed priority list to all of us. We could really take a moment and breathe for a bit, look around, and evaluate whether we as a society are okay with the grind that is modernity.

Turns out yes, people were okay with it. Well. Rich people were okay with it. As so often happens, the curtain lifted a bit to show that that so-called “unskilled labor force,” is actually holding up civilization while the rich just pretend to do important things.

At this point, Covid feels like a wasted opportunity to right an awful lot of wrongs.

Edit: I wrote the above in 2022 and I feel like I’ve just gotten more radicalized year after year from my disappointment in all of us as a society. We could have done so much. We could currently be in such a better place. But no, the workforce was forced to cave to the rich, showing their trick of limiting wages to barely livable also meant that nobody had the opportunity to reject the systems that they set up.

We were set up, exploited, and manipulated and words cannot express just how fucking angry I am about the whole thing because now there are ZERO silver linings or redeeming values to Covid19. Just a whole lot of unnecessary death and tighter grip on the people by corporations and billionaires.

It kills me, man. I’m not even kidding. I hate it and it breaks my heart every. single. day.

@Nachtflug Siehe #SlavojŽižek|s brillante Analogiebildung mit Hilfe von »They Live«.

Aus einem Alptraum zu erwachen, ist schon schwer genug, wenn seine AngstLähmungsMacht groß ist.
Aus einem Wunschtraum zu erwachen, auch wenn er längst zu einem Alp wurde, ist noch schwieriger, weil mit zur Angstlähmung die Schamstarre gesellt.

I'm writing an essay on this #SlavojZizek talk:
zizekpodcast.com/2017/01/07/zi

Essay excerpt:

" #DonaldTrump, Žižek rightly points out, is the perfect example of the eternal adolescent: vacuous, irresponsible, childish, incapable of critical thought, arrogant, flouting basic rules of decency, careless, cruel, prone to irrational outbursts and decisions, inconsiderate, vicious when thwarted, and petulant. He’s a vulgar opportunist who presents himself as a successful businessman—

“They tell us we are dreamers. The true dreamers are those who think things can go on indefinitely the way they are. We are not dreamers. We are the awakening from a dream that is turning into a nightmare. We are not destroying anything. We are only witnessing how the system is destroying itself.”

As occupations and other forms of direct democratic participation return to public attention in the US, this is worth remembering.

Spruch, der via #SlavojZizek zu mir gefunden hat: »Wer zur Selbstsuche in sich geht, wird Scheiße finden.«

Erinnert mich a bissi an einen klassischen Hippie-Spruch: »Open your mind, but not so far that your brain falls out«. (Öffne dein Bewusstsein, aber nicht so weit, dass dein Hirn rauspurzelt.)

OMG. Gesprächsabend mit #SlavojŽižek UND #PeterSloterdijk. Komme mir vor wie beim Revival von Borg vs McEnroe.

S.Ž.: Mit solchen Feinden, braucht man keine Freunde mehr. {Dann: Wilde Geschichte, wie Slavoj vor vielen Jahren schon gesagt hat, daß er nach der Revolution den Sloti gleich mal ins Gulag schicken, aber per Telefonanruf vom ZK aus sicherstellen würde, daß der am Sonntag ZWEI Portionen gammelige Fischsuppe statt einer bekommt.}
