plenty of leftists are able to joke. it's just that because they don't think "I IDENTIFY AS AN ATTACK HELICOPTER" kind of jokes are funny which is what right wingers think are the pinnacle of comedy and if anyone doesn't agree then they are PC and uptight! no your jokes are shit. these right wingers are the same people who would get offended if you made fun of their religion or white people. they would be crying oppression if they were the butt of the joke.
But zizek jokes about common experiences, in my experiences leftist, even radical extreme feminist etc etc are able to joke too, but they have almost exclusively inside jokes, sarcastic self deprecating jokes (sign of a building morality) or at the expenses of some abstract entity like patriarchy.

Wow I got positively surprised by Zizek's stance on incels, he truly understand people and their conditions and I couldn't agree more with him on everything he said after, 10/10 points from me.
@Joseph Norm Ivory tower liberals who lack the ability to explain societal problems economistically through class analysis so they have to rely on identity politics. And since Western politics is nothing more than public displays of virtue, the most aggressively politically correct liberal has a moral high ground that they're all racing to be at the top of. And Leftists actively rejecting that while still caring about things like oppression and equality breaks their brains and their only response is to say 'you must be a right winger in disguise'.
“The left” expects a cult of insanity like the inquisition, they pretend to be rebels and moral superiors when they are only delusional pawns of an elite who find them disgusting
Which shows how many on the left view it as some sort of pure academic idea, as things like punk and skinhead culture definitely fall under that category
What westerners don't understand is that the Slavic left was never neutered during the cold war like the western left was. Zizek has the typical attitude and sense of humor of eastern leftists.

Something problematic with right wing enthusiasts that I have personally noted is that many tend to be overgeneralizing. Is certain humour inherently right- or left wing? Is left wing humor an oxymoron? As a person with particularly leftist views, and with mostly like minded friends and family I and the people around me make what he would refer to as "right wing" jokes, dark humour, all the time. I am from Sweden, and here the Stand up-comedy culture is like 70% "right wing", politically incorrect humour, while the majority of popular comedians have mainly leftist views... and in this progressive country? This is what it is like. Humour does not have to have a political agenda, some things are funny and that is it.
yep humour doesnt have a political agenda. however people love to generalize and especially create binary situations of black and white aka left and right. overall i think many of these discussions are USA related. many europe countries are exactly like you stated and the european left (assuming you wrongfully act like they are homogenous) is completely different from the USA left.
"you have the humour of a moderate rightwinger" I can't imagine how he can say this with a straight face. Right wing pundits and comedians in the USA are some of the unfunniest people in the world.
What Cowen is identifying as "right-wing humor" in 2020 was edgy left-wing humor 30 years ago, which means that Cowen is actually conceding that the Left won the culture war ages ago, and he's himself culturally left-wing.
Yeah, this claim always makes me laugh. Let's see...the left has Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, and Bill Hicks. The right has.....Dennis Miller. Give me a break. Right wing "humor" is not even good enough to be cringy. It's just painful.

True and it makes complete sense from a Marx point of view. The struggle of classes in Marx is about a united worker's front (the proletariat) versus the bourgeois. Contrary to Marx's idea of the class struggle, identity politics divides the proletariat into many small groups that also fight each other.

0:31 I completely disagree that his views on gender are “much more right wing than left wing.” Honestly, as an LGBTQ-something, listening to his discussions of gendered psychology, social politics, etc. helped me so much during questioning periods this summer. It’s such a relief to hear someone mercilessly demolish platitudes and common-sense wisdoms about the queer community, as I feel like so much discourse of what it means to be queer is limited to commodifiable images and trivial “do whatever makes you happy” ontologies. If all you hear in what he says is “I don’t like politically-correct gender discourse”, then sure, he sounds right wing. But I personally fully endorse his more radical ideas on these topics. If you follow his points through to the end, he typically ends up vehemently supporting and affirming LGBTQ movements (which he always clarified he does anyway) in a way that feels MUCH more genuine than just catering to cishet people’s common-sense intuitions about what queerness is.
Honestly a lot of serious leftist academics are in agreement that nowadays american-leftism is way too focused on identity politics, forgetting the struggle of the workers. I've read that many times.

i dont understand how the "modern" left and the liberals merged. liberal right wing fit much better. at the same time modern right is ultra conservative. this breaks my mind.
There is a considerable misunderstanding our friend has about the difference between thoughts and action - Zizek might find the notion that there exists a wide spectrum of genders to be confusing and surreal, and find that notion ridiculous, but his own personal views don’t make him right-wing, it is only with his actions that he is shown to be left-wing. Zizek wants people to have liberty to live their own lives, free from the infringements upon them forced by other people. The fact he might think these people are just engaging in a silly social construction, that is not relevant to whether he is respecting their freedom to live their lives or not. Conservatives spend their time actively going after people a part of groups such as non-binary people, and I find that very disturbing, because it is so controlling - they are not content with just letting people be, if they want to say there are 32 genders, we can find that notion bizarre and just move on, but that’s not what the right does, they incessantly mock, and insert themselves into other people’s lives, with the clear intent to hurt them, and the underlying notion to change them. I find that mentality to be what really makes me see conservatism as an ideology of controlling people, and leftism, not as viewing people’s lives as less surreal to you, but just respecting that this is their own life, and leaving them alone - that is the true nature of leftism in this case, where you have liberty if you just do not interfere with their lives, and just let them live in peace, even if they are a bit different from us.
"they incessantly mock, and insert themselves into other people’s lives, with the clear intent to hurt them, and the underlying notion to change them" sounds like your talking about modern leftists
Tyler is wrong, Slav doesn't have a right wing SOH, he has more of genuine anarchist SOH. I say genuine because the so-called anarchists around now have also transmogrified into the humorless joke left Tyler is referring. just awful - harmful too.
I am often accused of being a conservative right-winger because I oppose political correctness and "woke" ideology. Aside from the numerous problems of ideological positions breeding their own antagonists, the PC/Woke ideology demands a kind of duty to adopt some vague set of "moral values", and to act l upon them -at will- during social interactions. It requires that one holds in place a mind-policeman that will warn you not to violate the code. Not only is this psychologically impossible but to attempt to maintain this only produces more neurosis and deepens the ideological delusion, tensions and strife with others.
why are we not happy? because 1) we are alienated, 2) we have no time to be happy! we need to work hard for the rich maybe at this moment we are unable to become happy, so the system is to be changed? "lets get happy" is unrealistic statement in all cases (it reminds me of advices to depressed people) - happiness doesn't work like that, and pretending to be happy worsens the conditions only a socioeconomic change can make us happy we need revolution
"decide together if we need money" it is the opposite of class struggle and socialism, it is class collaboration and corporatism - economic conservatism if I had to decide together with a rich man how much do I need to live and even compromise (he doesn't need to compromise with anyone) - I will still be poor and he will still be rich

The guy is literally just argumenting from personal experience. From my personal experience the left wing friends I have are compassionate but we joke still about everything brutally. Sadly there are people in the spot light who have to submit to liberal performative political correctness when they make silly jokes. I think of perhaps socialism done left. He’s a good lefty market socialist boi but recently got screenshots from discord saying things he obviously doesn’t mean but is saying these are the other sides arguments and look how stupid it is we laugh at it because we laugh at them. The joke isn’t racism the joke is the stupidity of racists and so on.
Well, my man is from the Balkans, pesky westerners are obviously going to be left aghast at how he is capable of the jokes despite being a leftist. The problem of humour is not leftism, it is western leftists.
Interlocutor does not understand clearly. Communists, which Zizek is not a bolshevik supporter, considered themselves conservative. Right and left does not mean "conservative" and it doesnt even mean all the same things to every person. Zizek is of course correct this is left wing humor. Sense of humor also are not confined by left or right ideology.
@Swett lol, the Daily Shoa ripped off not only the name but the style of it's namesake and then accused Chapo of ripping them off. It's plagarism all around
It's true, I like dark humour and the left doesn't do dark humour so much anymore. It's all supposed to be wholesome and good for your mental health, I like comedy that isn't afraid to mock learning disabilities and this is coming from someone who has autism.

We livin in strange times, boys
hahaha what the fuuuuck

The bottom line is Zizek is a leftist who is able to joke. That is why he is a leftist who happens to be popular.

There is a considerable misunderstanding our friend has about the difference between thoughts and action - Zizek might find the notion that there exists a wide spectrum of genders to be confusing and surreal, and find that notion ridiculous, but his own personal views don’t make him right-wing, it is only with his actions that he is shown to be left-wing. Zizek wants people to have liberty to live their own lives, free from the infringements upon them forced by other people. The fact he might think these people are just engaging in a silly social construction, that is not relevant to whether he is respecting their freedom to live their lives or not. Conservatives spend their time actively going after people a part of groups such as non-binary people, and I find that very disturbing, because it is so controlling - they are not content with just letting people be, if they want to say there are 32 genders, we can find that notion bizarre and just move on, but that’s not what the right does, they incessantly mock, and insert themselves into other people’s lives, with the clear intent to hurt them, and the underlying notion to change them. I find that mentality to be what really makes me see conservatism as an ideology of controlling people, and leftism, not as viewing people’s lives as less surreal to you, but just respecting that this is their own life, and leaving them alone - that is the true nature of leftism in this case, where you have liberty if you just do not interfere with their lives, and just let them live in peace, even if they are a bit different from us.
"they incessantly mock, and insert themselves into other people’s lives, with the clear intent to hurt them, and the underlying notion to change them" sounds like your talking about modern leftists

okay zizek we're here to talk about things that matter, directly
Tyler is wrong, Slav doesn't have a right wing SOH, he has more of genuine anarchist SOH. I say genuine because the so-called anarchists around now have also transmogrified into the humorless joke left Tyler is referring. just awful - harmful too.
I am often accused of being a conservative right-winger because I oppose political correctness and "woke" ideology. Aside from the numerous problems of ideological positions breeding their own antagonists, the PC/Woke ideology demands a kind of duty to adopt some vague set of "moral values", and to act l upon them -at will- during social interactions. It requires that one holds in place a mind-policeman that will warn you not to violate the code. Not only is this psychologically impossible but to attempt to maintain this only produces more neurosis and deepens the ideological delusion, tensions and strife with others.
Are we happy?
So if we are not,why do we need more money.
So first lets get happy and then we can decide together if we need more money or less.
why are we not happy?
because 1) we are alienated, 2) we have no time to be happy! we need to work hard for the rich
maybe at this moment we are unable to become happy, so the system is to be changed? "lets get happy" is unrealistic statement in all cases (it reminds me of advices to depressed people) - happiness doesn't work like that, and pretending to be happy worsens the conditions
only a socioeconomic change can make us happy
we need revolution
"decide together if we need money"
it is the opposite of class struggle and socialism, it is class collaboration and corporatism - economic conservatism
if I had to decide together with a rich man how much do I need to live and even compromise (he doesn't need to compromise with anyone) - I will still be poor and he will still be rich
The strife for happiness* , which as such is determined and defined by society, which is founded on religious tinkink 💭 , hasn't solved a damn ting ever since.
Au contraîre . .
Religion brings about crusades and bomb belt carriers and fanatics.

This is a problem solved by the political compass! Zizek is left, but he is not too much libleft
There are two kinds of people: people who have a sens of humor and people who don't. No the Left, no the Right.
the interviewer is so insufferable
He gets to the point at 08:24
The guy is literally just argumenting from personal experience. From my personal experience the left wing friends I have are compassionate but we joke still about everything brutally. Sadly there are people in the spot light who have to submit to liberal performative political correctness when they make silly jokes. I think of perhaps socialism done left. He’s a good lefty market socialist boi but recently got screenshots from discord saying things he obviously doesn’t mean but is saying these are the other sides arguments and look how stupid it is we laugh at it because we laugh at them. The joke isn’t racism the joke is the stupidity of racists and so on.
The joke is you.
Perry
Yes but you smell of peepeepoopoo
What's with these chairs?
TLDW?: hes just trying to complicate things.
The problem is always victimhood-culture.
Where can I get those chairs
Hell
Well, my man is from the Balkans, pesky westerners are obviously going to be left aghast at how he is capable of the jokes despite being a leftist. The problem of humour is not leftism, it is western leftists.
Interlocutor does not understand clearly. Communists, which Zizek is not a bolshevik supporter, considered themselves conservative. Right and left does not mean "conservative" and it doesnt even mean all the same things to every person. Zizek is of course correct this is left wing humor. Sense of humor also are not confined by left or right ideology.
Saddam was a feminist compared to Iraq's colonizers.
I lost a brain cell listening to this
what the fuck ir wrong with those chairs
this guy talking humor is like dave chappelle talking quantum physics
Right wing Humor based on Superiority. Left wing on humilation
Žižek was right. They _did_ get him reelected. 😉
Right wing memes are funnier than left wing memes because the right isn’t as afraid of stepping on toes, much like Zizek
Nah you Just Not afraid of punching down. But Bootlicker never punching Up. Now Off to gulag
Tbh most Bernie meme pages were on fire this year
@Swett lol, the Daily Shoa ripped off not only the name but the style of it's namesake and then accused Chapo of ripping them off. It's plagarism all around
It's true, I like dark humour and the left doesn't do dark humour so much anymore. It's all supposed to be wholesome and good for your mental health, I like comedy that isn't afraid to mock learning disabilities and this is coming from someone who has autism.
Except the ca. 800 toes of Jesus kept in churches throughout the world.
