I think "leftists ranting about China" is probably one of my biggest political "triggers" (as in things that make me irrationally angry). There's something about claiming to be "on the left" and opposed to mainstream US politics while just gobbling down state department propaganda that is exceptionally disturbing. It's also just generally a massive red flag that someone's politics are terminally hosed up if they're an American constantly talking about the crimes of China/Russia/whatever. I don't think it's a coincidence that this sort of person overlaps heavily with the sort of person who constantly talks about "the fash." I think the frequent naive earnestness of it is what gets to me; just complete rubes being manipulated into supporting the US government (either through throwing their support behind the Democratic Party, or through supporting US foreign policy).

Deified Data posted:I think Zizek has a lot of good opinions about why liberalism is bad and a lot of lovely opinions about why Marxism/Communism is good or even preferable. I don't obsessively listen to his interviews or anything so I'm probably full of poo poo but I have a hunch you'd be hard pressed to get him to admit he's anything other than an aesthetic communist. It seems like his main psychological-philosophical thing is about transgressions and exceptions to the rules, so I don't think you'd be completely wrong to say he professes communism for the shock value. He's just got deeper reasoning about it than most people who are trying to be shocking.

zizek is a rarity in 2021, where he has clearly thought quite far about most of what he says, and is fundamentally pretty intellectually honest. which gives us the luxury of listening and considering without *really* needing to filter on how acceptable his position is overall. this interview was a bit *too* lax, would have been interesting with some challenge here and there, but overall enjoyable and interesting.

Gripweed posted:I think "is the person who was publicly accused of grooming an underage girl still getting money from your Patreon?" is a perfectly valid question that she should be obligated to answer considering the allegations were for an event in 2013, long before they knew each other, no, it actually is not her responsibility to address these things

Wouldn't it be super easy for Brie to just start a new Patreon sans Virgil? Yeah there'll definitely be some dropoff of subscribers but it can't possibly be more than if she's allegedly still paying for Cass.

I legit have a new appreciation for China, Xi, and Chinese socialism that I never would have had if the propaganda wasn't so ubiquitous and just outright incompetent.

wow so weird that the capitalist world system got salty about someone telling it to suck eggs and executing some level of self determination. reminder that we had wanted to develop china post ww2 but instead had to settle for japan and the rest of the tiger economies instead. pissed off a lot of people. weak states you can ransack with merely the world bank and imf to financially cripple them and ensure total compliance to neoliberalism but bigger ones require a little more nuance and mao absolutely btfo'd that idea

There's two possible interpretations: 1) There's some behind the scenes legal poo poo going on and for some unknowable reason, Brie is forbidden from saying so much as "On the advice of my lawyer, I have no comment". 2) She's trying to wait it out and see if it blows over before trying to sneak him back in under the radar. The longer things go on without a comment from her, the less likely #1 is.

Wizard Master posted:Zizek is on the new Red Scare this is going to cause more grief for them than for Zizek the red scare reddit has some interesting responses quote:I don't really get people calling him a lib for saying the government should mandate vaccines. He describes himself as an authoritarian communist and these 2 beliefs seem logically consistent. quote:Amazing how he steamrollers them on vaccines and they try to challenge him - the show was beginning to feel a bit cosy I'm glad daddy Slavoj came in and reminded them where this started quote:this was depressing to me. dude was just trying to convince them of the reality of covid and how horrible it is to die of it and they were like bUt mUh fREedOm (and yelling at him??? why?). I know they have been on an anti vaccine streak and i understand concerns but as a healthcare worker and nursing student i can’t just pretend what i have seen is fake. it’s loving real. I assume the anti-vaccine mandate posters are the one complaining that they can't understand Zizek.

Yeah, Anna is going off the deep end about this for awhile "save the children" retweeting insipid Tablet articles style and Dasha has been melting down about the concept of booster shots. (They of course are both vaxxed, Dasha for Succession and Anna so she can go drink and see her baby daddy play his drums in cafes.)
