ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY: The Oxford Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. Since 1823, the Union has been promoting debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe.
The Oxford Union is deeply grateful and encouraged by the messages of support in response to our determination to uphold free speech. During our 200 year history, many have tried to shut us down. As the effects of self-imposed censorship on university campuses, social media and the arts show no signs of dissipating, the importance of upholding free speech remains as critical today as it did when we were founded in 1823. Your support is critical in enabling The Oxford Union to continue its mission without interruption and without interference. You can support the Oxford Union here: oxford-union.o...
Haven't watched a Žižek talk in like 6+ years, literally the first words out his mouth "My God I want to be like Hitler", classic
He's the best. 😆
Mind Begs the Question:
▪︎D3ath to Jews chants - Genocidal
▪︎D3ath to Arabs chants - Acceptable?
lol I went to the comments before watching. thank you for making me laugh

If Trump made a comment like that it would be front page news & the media would be taking it as a literal statement not a joke
Zizek is the only human that can start a conversation with: "I want to be like Hitler" and no one takes him seriously.
Donald Trump could probably say it.
@@dr17719 the difference is he'd be serious about it.
you mean everyone takes him seriously
"we take him seriously, not literally" 🤣
Of course we know he means it seriously. We also know the context in which it makes sense, will follow.
"Are you kidding!? I am totally horrified, and so on." that is now my absolute favorite Zizek quote ever. I will say that last part, if I am here at the end of things.
That might be coming sooner than you think...
"Are you -kidding- crazy!?..." 9:59
Well, we are definitely at the end of things, so go wild.
We are all dying and so on
"Let me conclude with something horrible." Classic Zizek wrap-up

"I don't want to live in a society where to be for gay rights means to be an imperialist" GIRL
the case of Slavoj Žiźek, reknowned cultural theorist and public intellectual. His bizarre and often meaningless propositions aside, he mirrors the same euro-centric chauvinism of Samuel Huntington, viz a viz a ‘clash of civilizations’ when he declared that “it is a simple fact that most of the refugees come from a culture that is incompatible and hostile with Western European notions of human rights.” Torchbearer of the European bourgeois cultural apparatus, all be it Slavoj is “Discursive Sausage for the Uneducated” (Gabriel Rockhill). Of all the ‘Hegelian Hogwash’ that Žiźek has come to symbolize, he can never utter a word about the CIA, about Samuel Huntington’s long involvement with the US Govt in framing globalist imperial policies. The disasters of which, are visible from Iran to Nicaragua to Indonesia. For this reason, Žiźek is an outstanding example of devotion to imperialism and the current world order.
@@AudioPervert1Dude, yeah America fucked up sometimes. But if you look at the current world what kind of system do you want to live in?
I would absolutely want to live in a liberal western democracy. We are not perfect but good damm ill take us any day over Iran, Russia, China, North Korea. They seem to be way more fucked than any injustice you can find in the western liberal democracy.
@@AudioPervert1And which order do you prefer? Putin’s or Xi’s?

So many here missing the point. He wasn’t saying he wanted to be like Hitler IRL, rather Charlie Chaplin’s movie version of him
Right. Where he can control the crowd by just raising and lowering his arm. 👏🏻🤐👏🏻🤐👏🏻
he can also say Kant multiple times without consequences
Quite sure you are missing the point. While he softer the message moving to Chaplin he is aware what he is doing and loves shock value of starting with dictstor reference.

I’m like Žižek. I think globally first. Not in politics, but to analyze everything. Starting with universality and then dialing in to the more specific will give the best answer rather than looking at the specific and trying to come to a conclusion.
All the Oxford “excellence” and “talent” in that room and this is the audio and video quality that results, lmao
He also has an extremely thick accent. They should also hang some tapestries or curtains in the room to cut the reverberation. That room has a very pronounced echo. I'll bet that room is bare walls and a hard wood or plaster ceiling. The people and their cloths will do some of that damping or absorption of sound waves but perhaps the audience isn't very large and too much of the seating is vacant? Even the leather covering you can see on the bench behind him (and in the rest of the room maybe)- is more erverberant than fabric upholstery.
Funny name - lord of shit. Why such a know opinion of yourself?. How about GrafvonSheis? But it sounds so much prettier in French.
Well, they're not excellent audio and video technicians. That's a prole job, albeit kind of a cool one.

Voting for Trump:
“We have seen the enemy and he is us”
Agreed. I dont like this whole part about liberals being in the way of 'true political goals'. He said it himself, hes aware, hes making the miatake the socialiats made with hitler.
it sliced my heart that i just realized he is getting old, we need younger people who are Zizekian in thoughts and actions to continue his legacy, Diogenes has his students carry his messages. We need it now more than ever
Read this in Zizek's voice: " A man who feels like he is sorry for his idols getting older is a paradox. It is himself who is getting older that makes him sad and so on, but he has just learned to use pitty as an excuse to not reflect on himself".
@@makisxatzimixas2372 whose quote is that attributed to and why is it used as a jab for no reason? im literally a young 23 years old whose main subject for thesis is literally Zizek, its a personal feeling i expressed for any idol or musicians or entertainers i like, getting old and maybe cease doing their thing. Thats a heartless quote mind you

@@beeeps its just a thing people say to categorize people who follow Zizeks views, it doesnt need to be values just his ideas, probably the basic one is if they like his messaging in the movie Perverts Guide to Ideology and other marxist critiques of society. Not much else to it, hes a very vague individual who himself hates followers
What he says about Christian Atheism is really quite interesting. It seems like he talks about Christian faith like a self-fullfilling prophecy: Because there is a community of believers who believe in some form of Christianity, the promise of belief, like community and caring for each other, becomes a reality and is perhaps even reinforced, and if I understand it correctly, Žižek even says that the gospel acknowledges this fact on a meta-level. The question for me is then: Does it still work if you practice Christian faith while believing/knowing it is a self-fullfilling prophecy, or is the 'belief' required? I wondered about this often. As a Christian myself, I have had spiritual experiences, but I know from a philosophical perspective, that these are not exclusive to Christianity and happpen in many cultures. So it would make sense to look at the Trinity as more like a philosophical concept, with the One God pointing to universality.
Maybe it is possible to 'believe' as well as question the reality of belief.
I've listened to him for a while, but I don't see how total immanence can work. Another word for transcendence is hope. Without transcendence (some kind of "God" not a Man in the Sky, but maybe Aquinas's "Being itself" or something unnameable like John of the Cross's 'nada, nada, nada")) we are still stuck in history, which is never ending carnage.
The history or religion is a history of carnage. Belief in religion and its attendant sociological symbols systems is merely the weakness of the human mind projected onto history. Humans are animals, they are afraid of their own death. religion makes them feel 'safe'. To maintain that feeling or state of safety they are not only willing to suspend the higher functions of their evolved consciousness but also to murder. The killing of another human is the primary progenitive act of culture, this is the secret moment 99% of humans hide from and avert their eyes.
It’s alchemical
I feel that Pascal's Wager says that true, intrinsic belief is not necessary, that you'll be fine so long as you pretend you believe in God because it's better to place a bet on God's existence than to do so on God's non-existence. Which seems counterintuitive to me. If God is real and you place a "bet" on God being real, which means you don't have actual faith, then if God were real, they would certainly call your bluff, now wouldn't they.
@radiantmarshmallow2527 Sure they would, but maybe they even 'want' to question or for you to figure out what is actually there.
Stalin was schooled at a seminary. So there’s no surprise that he used theological analogy
Yea, he was about to become a priest of the Georgian church. Then proceeded to rob banks, went to prison and the rest is history
Definitely a man of faith....killed around 20 million
The Bolesheviks more than anyone understood religion and 'God Building' - just look at the Orthodox Church today!
There is very small difference between communists and religious ppl. Both are brainwashed.
Mr Zizek, Thank you. It would be so great if you would have your own Podcast on for example, topics like "what is Materialism", what was Hegel talking about, Kant and so on. It would be awesome (mostly for all of us without philosophical background).Greetings!
I am a simple man. If I see Žižek, I click.

Why?
Hes a populizer. Nothing wrong with that but many much more accomplished philosophers and social critics who live in journals and the common folks dont read those. Zizek speaks to lay people. He likes to make obscurity seem profound, its not.
@@cragjones1799 Very overrated indeed. But those so called socialists need their contemporary hero! Which philosopher would you recommend?

❤ I'm very struck by the commentary that liberal democracy which focuses on getting reelected every 2-4 years is entirely unable to meet the challenges of our present urgent times. I really appreciated the insight of the Chinese person who pointed out that long term plans required a government system without that rapid turnover, which instead gave longer term stability at the level of government. It has been a problem in the USA for a number of years that our citizens are not educated enough (or are victims of outright false messaging) to be able to vote in a way that can be considered truly democratic. The votes of deluded people cannot count as "democratic." And Americans do not have reliable access to truth from news sources, no matter where we turn.
Sadly that situation went global, Europe is facing the same issues on a daily basis now... Smh
I’m perfectly happy and satisfied with government not being able to carry out long term plans.
You are not a liberal at all in the classic sense of the word. You are an authoritarian, a statist.
🤮
No thanks.
Americans do have access. More than anyone else. English is EVERYWHERE! You can read different online newspapers from different countries. Watch different news programs, try to see different points of view. You just have to be interested. And there are a lot of journalists out there that do their work and tell things as they are. It's way too easy to say, they all lie. That's just a very lazy excuse.
Well, pegapage96, to realize that our nation is just full of lazy people who refuse to research the many good news sources from other countries only gives a strange "comfort." I think first of our senior citizens, as they navigate critical health conditions (like my elderly mother and others I've taken care of) they are supposed to recognize that all means by which they previously stayed informed are too corrupted-- so the time is nigh to sleuth out decent news sources from foreign entities through high tech computer-based research. But they are "lazy." And our masses of young people who have been surviving an upbringing which has stopped short of developing their metacognitive skills, while at the same time they are faced with unaffordable costs of living-- again, are we sure their "laziness" is the object barring access to understanding? I presently work in a public city school where most of the young people's parents do not have a room in a basement for them to live in. The moral judgement of apparently universal laziness afflicting Americans seems to suggest we deserve whatever s#its#ow unfolds next...
The Chinese dignitary, a beneficiary of his unelected ‘longterm stable government’ would of course pick out the one benefit of it: long term planning. But even that is illusory. Such a long term stable government, even in a democracy, ends in nepotism, cronyism, complacency and corruption but at least within democracy it will be voted out when it fails to deliver.
Zizek coyly hints at the need for “limited” democracy - unbelievable.
Just how educated do you think people need to be to deserve the vote? If has been the priority of every dictator to control education and also to censor news sources on pretence of protecting his people from lies. As Churchill put it ‘ Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others’
His original answer was the most fascinating part. I wish it had gone on...
So, there's a Philosopher named Peter Rollins, his entire career is basically about unpacking that exact thing: what it means for "God" to die, and how we have not fully reckoned with the death of "god" in the modern age, etc. Pete and his ideas are packaged in a very accessible way.
And don't worry, he's not some religious nut.
Why did the Interviewer interrupt him at minute 10. I was really invested in the topic.
I mean, at least let him try to wrap it up

He talkes too much and so on and so on, …but he’s an analytical genius. I like the 6 episodes Steven West did about him on his show “philosophize this!”. Highly recommended ❤
You are the first person I see who mentions that podcast. I always felt so isolated. 😢
@ its my favorite show! I once made out with a beautiful woman and she found it very attractive that I was into that show. She was a big fan. 😂
A philosopher who talks too much? Now I've heard everything!
In all seriousness, I could listen to him all day.
@ me too man. But I’ll explain the joke: he has a lot of tics and other signs of neuroticism. He touches his nose every two sentences. When he gives an example he almost always finishes with “and so on and so on” to illustrate that there are more examples. He also says in every interview: “sorry, I talk too much!”

Absolutely brilliant. Cant understand a single work, but brilliant.
First time I saw Zizek is his contributions to “Terror, Robespierre and the French Revolution.” I don’t have a lot of agreement with him but I do enjoy listening to his point of view and admire his convictions.
Is there a Part Three for audience questions?
Thanks for asking, same
The audio is horrendous.
They're using overhead mics seemingly, so it's picking up all the damn reverb of the room. They should use lapel mics fed directly into a mixer or DI box. You'd think Oxford would be smart enough to figure this out, it's really basic shit. They could even get wireless lapel mics like a lot of venues have.
I always find it sad that people talk about the man and hardly ever the ideas which he discusses. This right here is a big part of the problem he discusses in relation to Trump and how he finds success. It even applies to the majority of comments about this video!
Though it be the name I've posted under for years, I never mention this book but I encourage everyone to read Jacque Ellul's The Technological Society. It continues to amaze me how insightful he was in explaining modern man's challenges in the face of technology but even more important is the mindset that people have. The mind that always seeks efficiency in every avenue of life and all else be damned. I think the video ends appropriately pointing towards this idea.

What Zizak is saying @19:40 about Ukraine's options are about the same as could be said for Gaza. Israel wants their land and property on the cheap. Either they try somehow to fight back and not leave or they will all be penniless refugees forced to accept the UN dole or the patience and kindness of neighboring states for their basic needs. If all the men in Gaza weren't Hamas before the invasion what choice would any have now as so many have seen their whole families blown away? It is not insane to think that the music festival attack wasn't just what many in Israel may have really wanted in their hearts all along. It's a handy excuse to proceed with expansionist plans that would be otherwise damned as blatantly expansionist without it. The Israelis never provide compensation to refugees. As the occupying power in the West Bank, they shamelessly cherry pick the best land and resources for their own needs and have the bare faced chutzpah to blame the losers for getting upset about it. The coast will be grabbed up by the Israelis who have no way to expand but out. Israelis have been eager for lebensraum for decades and the Gazans only stand in their way. Apparently the Israel's don't believe in eminent domain compensation except to themselves. And unlike the Palestinians never accept, unless forced to, the opinion of any courts higher then their own. There are decades of UN records that itemize the situation.
Isn't it amazing how "god" can tell a believer what to do that really only reflects what they want to do anyway? Scripture can have a very self serving aspect. The Bible says everything but the kitchen sink and If they had them at the writing those would be mentioned too. What doesn't work to support necessity, but also ambition can often, if not always, be ignored or even edited. To be sure both sides do that. The scriptures always have a core of what could only be called motivational propaganda. They could also be accused of providing excuses for what might otherwise be called criminal behavior. We always tell "God" what to do or we would invent God to suit the situation. God is always a matter of interpretation. God tends to be dependant on living larynx. How else can one explain the plethora of sects and creeds in its name? And the speaker is essentially the artist painting God's portrait. That can be done beautifully or hideously depending on the artist.
I know that many Jews believe that God told them to genocide the Canaanites, and that they are God's chosen people and its in many parts of the bibble...
Brilliantly said, thank you

Symbolic efficiency is a major tenet of right wing without a counter on the left. Think of how Maga, swastika, etc. so efficiently delivers an emotional reaction and suite of beliefs
_""Symbolic efficiency""_ I'm guessing you learned this phrase within the last three months. Am I correct?
nicely put
I think it’s because left liberals who grabbed the wheel of popular left movements long ago have spun off into absurdity the left habit of intellectualising and - more importantly - abstracting every issue. You can’t have any hope of appealing to people when you’re operating at a level of abstraction far beyond the level at which most people live their lives most of the time. What political program can you even devise, let alone explain, when in political terms you might as well be an alien from another planet?

"I met a high-ranking (we are not friends)..."
People who grew up under named fascism or the soviet bloc have on these blinders that ignore the forrest for the trees, the whole western fascist bloc. Who is it that gets in the way of progress but the western fascist bloc. At a time when we need models fir degrowth it's impossible because of a predetory fascist bloc in decline.
what is "degrowth"?
@taylerpowell6155 it's a philosophy and framework that gives a means to construct the way forward. It means that all stages of a human life span are considered in order to understand why growth is the only viable system for the lucky thus far. Ultimately it draws from realities surrounding immigration for instance. It says that in reality the global population is unsustainable and with this philosophy you embrace lower birthrates if you're not xenophobic. It is the apex of political, social and economic thought.
I would love to hear what Žižek thinks of Joseph Atwill's "Cesar's Messiah."

11:50 AOC needs to hear that Zizek called her Beautiful in this video, I think... (and also calls her a 'him' but that might just me mishearing Zizek's accent but hey whatever right? 😅😅)
Wow if I look at a painting close all I see is a stain , but if I look from further away I see the beautiful harmony. Never would have realised that for myself.
Yes, so true. Consider my mind blown.
Yes, but that's not the point. What he says is that Jesus represented the opposite. He did not go to the poor and miserable and told them "everything happens for a reason, it's part of God's plan, it will all make sense in the end, look at the bigger picture..." Jesus went and cured them, fed them, comforted them, accepted them, gave them dignity.... The message of Christ is not abstract faith in some sort of invisible ruling principle that takes care of everything. WE have to imitate Christ and therefore take charge in the real world. In that sense, Jesus focused on the material world, just like a atheist, he did not focus on abstract mysticism. Conversely many people who believe they have deprogrammed themselves from religion still think in terms of a universe somehow functioning as if ruled by some greater principle of harmony, beauty, etc (the idea of God, without calling it God, basically).
I'm totally horrified and so on
Zizek said that Hamas should be annihilated.
Slavoj Zizek Is very interesting and funny at the same time
