Disappointing fake, the real Zizek would have said “Chienche”.

If you’re on the right you think he’s a Marxist commie, and don’t like commies.
If you’re a commie you don’t think he’s a commie, you think he’s full of shit and uses left wing intellectual language to hide that he’s an apologist for liberal social democracy.
If you’re an anarchist probably think he’s an avatar for a certain kind of former Soviet bloc intellectualist elitism, and he actively discourages direct action (I’ve never spoken to an anarchist about him, I might have to ask one.)
Gender critics and feminists don’t like him because he’s more than a little chauvinistic, and a vocal critic of Judith Butler.
If you’re apolitical you think he’s annoying and incomprehensible.
I think he appeals to a certain sort of budding or wannabe left intellectual. Someone who doesn’t completely understand his work as a decades-long project, probably because they are still discovering it, and the political consequences of that project. Like he says things that are interesting and sort of novel because he’s a Hegelian and Hegelian analysis can be full of all kinds of cool insights. When you assemble his arguments together as a body of work though it has a much different character than some of his more interesting points taken in isolation, which takes on a different character when put together so that one can see the arc of his work. But as a moderate Hegelian he neither fits with the right Fukuyamist Hegelians or the left Marxist Hegelians, and he is critical of both groups.
I think he understands intellectualism as a social force, and likes to bother different stripes of intellectuals. He’s controversial enough to stay relevant, and good at working the media. I think he is very intentional with all this stuff.
But he broke Jordan Peterson when they debated, and got him out of the spotlight for like a year or two and that was pretty funny

There is a Zizek clip where he (ironically?) proposes that instead of fulfilling the societal expectation of having sex, couples should use a pair of toys that do that work for them and enjoy some other more intellectual pursuit like having discussions over coffee or smth like that
(I probably got the details wrong, it’s been a while since I’ve seen itl
SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
He doesn’t say intellectual pursuits, but more that people are free to actually be themselves, and then, later, maybe even have sex on their own terms
It’s basically a commentary on societal expectations in social structures such as dating, by following the concepts such as using toys to have a “successful” date to its logical extreme

I actually saw Slavoj live one time and had to sit through him repeating this information at the end of a lecture 😭
Addv4@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
That is slavoj zizek. He does a lot of sniffing while he talks. It’s pretty notable.
