I have nothing against him but he disgusts me on a very deep level
. Not his world view, not his political views.
I see him and my stomach turns upside down.
I can hear him sniffing and feel his spit hitting my face, just by looking at his picture or by reading his name. SNIFF

Sometimes he seems reasonable and insightful but then other times he says things like
>A Native American told me "I don't mind being called Indian because it is a testament to white man's stupidity"
Like have your people even discovered boats or the wheel you silly redskin? Man who traversed an ocean is stupid?
Anyway, this is a constant reminder that with Zizek there's a constant underlying element of white guilt *sniff* and so on that assures me that he's not well intended. This and other things.

There's one book where he says anti-semitism would be pathological 'even if' it was true

[Anonymous No.19342980]

By that he's saying that they don't know the difference between a native American and an Indian.

genetics are a bitch. Two 150 IQ parents can birth a mentally retarded child while two below average IQ parents can birth a gifted child. Either way your "boat discover and wheel maker" ancestry are so separated from you that their influence in your genetics is practically non existent, compared to the real influences your normie wagie parents had.

Yes, they do, retard.

No, what he's saying is that the discoverers of America were stupid to think that they had arrived in India instead of the New World. The discoverers who sailed an ocean and stumbled upon stone age tribes.

What about the difference between my race and the members of the other races who weren't fortunate enough to be brought over/colonized by people who introduced them to Western inventions?

>What about the difference between my race and the members of the other races
What about it? 3000 years ago states of the Middle East far surpassed Europeans in every civilisational aspect one can think of. Does it mean they were genetically superior to the Bronze Age Europeans?

The Perverts Guide to Ideology Documentary is a good intro to his thought/mode of analysis, and it doesnt require much advance knowledge to understand the thrust of it.
Otherwise the Sublime Object of Ideology is quite good, and hes stuck on a lot of those central points since.
Later works are a bit of a mixed bag, I think the man has never had a thought he didn't write down, and his publisher just keeps printing.
For every interesting thought or framing he has on current events, theres a few more that are just totally mystifying or Ill informed. For instance I've heard him argue that people should essentially be allowed to marry anything as an actor of devotion, since all the rich perverts can just have their Lawyers draw up contracts to accomplish much the same.

Nobody contests that Europeans cribbed tons of developments from the Arab world. Particularly in medical and mathematical fields.
>What a shameful lie
Are you American? What other country has history education this bad?
Do you think "algebra" or "algorithm" are Latin concepts? They aren't even etymologically
Honestly that this uncontroversial historical note upset your genetic participation trophy is beyond pathetic

>cribbed tons of developments from the Arab world
>algorithm
>algebra
>Latin (the only Europeans?) concepts
What are you talking about? Are you implying that the Babylonians were Arab? That Persians are Arab? That the Muslim world didn't steal most of their knowledge from Greeks, Indians and Eastern Romans? That algebra was discovered in the first millennium BC? Are you baiting? Are you confused? You're certainly moving goalposts.
In >>19343456 I pointed to a tomb meant to illustrate that Europe wasn't as backwards as you made it out to be, in comparison to Mesopotamia (which is definitely not representative of the entire Middle East by the way) in The Last Millennium. To respond to that you spoke about 9th century Arabic innovations.
The biggest grievance however is to equate the differences between Europe and Mesopotamia (which ended up conquered by Europeans) to the differences between most of Africa now and, say, the Roman Empire 2000 years ago.
Now disappear, cur. I'd too ask if you're American but it's pretty obvious that you're a seething shitskin.

just start with Sublime and have wikipedia on standby. He very gently explains his references when needed, but sometimes leaves out context for very tight points.

Start with Hegel and Lacan.

And that's correct.

his short books are a good introduction to the his larger thought without going too hard on the lacanian/hegelian stuff. if you're conversant in those subjects already then dive into his long works. "the parallax view" is a good start
