The struggle takes place in the structure, not on the barricades.
The greatest deception of postmodern times is the freedom of choice within a system that has already annulled every option.
It is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.
An authentic act begins where the law and the logic of the system cease to apply." 2/2

"Lacan, however, posited an equation between jouissance and superego: to enjoy is not a matter of following one’s spontaneous tendencies; it is rather something we do as a kind of weird and twisted ethical duty. Enjoyment itself is something that parasitizes upon human pleasures, perverting them so that a subject can draw a surplus-enjoyment from displeasure itself."

Slavoj Žižek, in one of his Substack newsletters

Slavoj Žižek: Was der Fall Epstein und Chomsky über den „Deep State“ verrät

Wer das Geflecht von Sexualität und Macht im Fall Epstein verstehen möchte, muss Sigmund Freud hervorholen. Der slowenische Philosoph Slavoj Žižek macht das für uns. Und kommt zu einer gewagten These über Noam Chomsky und den „Deep State“

Some can't explain Chomsky's relation to #Epstein, given that the guy is in his 90s and obviously his pecker isn't cut for such adventures.

What his relation shows, is that #Chomsky is in the same club as #Putin, and #Maga/ #Bannon, Mossad/KGB.

And I'd speculate the same thing for #Varoufakis and #JeffreySachs given their euroskepticism. Maybe they're on the payroll of unsavory actors?

Don't know of Slavoj Žižek yet.

AGI/aliens can't come soon enough. It's all f'ed.

1/4 Slavoj Žižek hat es wieder einmal auf den Punkt gebracht: Trumps Rückkehr ist kein bloßer politischer Zufall, sondern ein frontaler Angriff auf das, was wir als „europäische Zivilisation“ bezeichnen. Doch statt in Panik zu verfallen, sollten wir genau hinsehen. Žižek analysiert messerscharf, wie Trump die Fundamente der liberalen Etikette zertrümmert. Es ist Zeit, die Augen vor der neuen Realität nicht länger zu verschließen! 🚨 #Zizek #Trump #Politik

Slavoj Žižek deutet Donald Trump: „Angriff auf die europäische Zivilisation“

Es gibt kein Zurück, weder zur liberalen Weltordnung noch zur „objektiven Sozialdemokratie“. Aber Europa muss seine Zivilisation bewahren. Ein Gastbeitrag.

A Pedagogia da Exceção e o mundo que encolhe

No rastro das agressões de Trump há uma tentativa de reconfigurar o desejo político. Já não seria o trabalho coletivo de construção do comum, mas o culto à força e seu impacto. O cinema, com seus “resolutores” viris, construiu este imaginário. Enfrentá-lo será uma das grandes batalhas do presente

«Es ist furchtbar, aber in der momentanen Situation bin ich gegen #Pazifismus. Denn vergessen wir niemals: Aggressoren wollen immer #Frieden. Und Frieden heisst, dass sie gewonnen haben.»
