    "I'll answer with a question." As always.

      It paints the clearer picture of the answer

    The commentator says, ..."ok,ok....let's get back to the EU." Slavoj wants to refer to the region and the world as a whole, and as Capitalism and Democracy as interlinking ideologies that may not be so well linked (and it's showing up in the EU). This is the bigger question - would be nice if he was not just patronized, but allowed to extend this argument - we might learn something.

    His words aged like a fine wine. But nobody listened to him back then.

    Paxman was a great response to the bullshit/spin political era when politicians avoided every single question they were asked. He gave them no room to go off point and cut them off whenever they started to spout 'the lines'. But that is a dreadful form of interviewing for the present age, when democracy itself is facing a crisis and deeper contemplation of what is happening is necessary. You cannot interview someone like Zizek and not at least afford him a minute's preamble to make his point.

      everyone knows that no surprise that is not a proper answer however it seems. The trick is in this question identity politics cultural conceptions ideological issues and so on.

      +Tom Middleton paxman always used to fold his arms and lean back with a supercilious expression on his face when he was talking to someone who was his intellectual superior.

    zizek doesn't seem to know much and although he's extremely mediocre when it cometh to gatherinness off of eye quete pointless, he is she but should be shy enough in order to spread his own genocogenity without -but maybe within certain bounderies of off course (wich course is yet to be defined by future as well as -in some multi-modern cases or even generations of 'unsaid' problematic stances. Although also: Than, again what's to be gained- for instance when there's non-Than. But I AM getting ahead of not-myself AND anti myself (well as a European personage off of course -again!) which is naturalisticly due to unforseen causes (again as well as the more normal factors) But all that is trivial as is Zizek when he leaves his discours and on re-entering again, although the later might be done by anyone...
