Umm…what? Like, this entire tirade is basically what coastal neoliberal elites say:
“poor Whites voted for Trump so they deserve to die”
“IDF actually cares about LGBTQ people and Hamas kills them”
and so on and so on.
why are you quoting thinga that werent in the video, and arent actual quotes. I watched the clip, he doesnt say anything like neolibs. I agree with him, in lots of places people need state authority or else they will kill half a million and not blink.
…I wasn’t quoting him, I was saying what neolibs say and wanted to know how what Zizek says in this video is different from that?
I was confused because those quotes arent really at all what hes talking about. He’s saying populism is bad. He says that nowadays European populists want rascist things. Therefore, not everyone should get what they want. He’s even offering a solution to populist democracy, totalitarianism, something a neolib would ring their hands over
