to me part of the significance of this guy is that he speaks what very few people are willing to say. to accept what Zizek says here is to reject what is one of this epoch's central ethos. regardless of whether people agree i say he's got balls
"Tout comprendre, c´est tout pardonner." Yes, even the oppressors. All seeks equilibrium. Human behavior being no different. It's driven by desire, which is based upon a near infinite number of factors from cultural to genetic; all of which are then spurned along by moment-to-moment circumstance. This CAN be overridden if one is willing. Yet, to 'will' one has to 'care.' Only then can one even consider 'thinking' & be made aware of 'options.' & only then will ideas manifest into relevance.
He saw thru Shrek wonderfully. It's pure modern hipocrisy. Like, it isn't important what you look like, but princess must get ugly to marry Shrek. Or what's worse, we're sooo politically correct, but the bad guy is soooo short. So, we can't ridicule ugly, but we can ridicule short?

Excellent. I hope this has to do with the book of the same name. That is the first Zizek I owned after finding it at a used bookstore.

NICE COMMENT.
Yes, but that's just a *small* fraction of his charm :)
"Shrek is dreck." - Slavoj Zizek
interesting point of view, but i disagree with his rejection of qualifying an opinion.
@randylahey123 But Marx was a Hegelian. So that makes Marx a post-Marxist. lol
