"We don't know for sure, but when we do it will definately be too late"
Fucking brilliant

Got to love Zizek's take on "Antigone". Sophocles wrote Antigone around 441 BC. In the story King Creon disallows Antigone's brothers burial, because he had lead a foreign army. Antigone buries her brother anyway. She is sentenced to death but hangs herself before the execution. Or - as Zizek puts it: Antigone says: "Fuck off I want to bury my brother", and Creon says "yes but look at the political situation and so on and so on". I love it. So 2021.

He’s mastered so much, except the letter “S”

I just learned of this man’s existence in the last week, and he’s immediately one of my all-time favorite humans.

When he talks he slurps so much that YouTube`s automatic subtitle algorithm thinks that he is speaking Dutch.

Excellent opening lip smacks, sniffs, and so on and so on

As an autistic person I can say he doesn't misrepresent us. There are other autistic people too, so don't take my word to be holy, but I personally found his description very accurate.

[NovakiSalem]

all the people in the audience that never read Antigone: "What the hell is this guy talking about burying his Crayon?"

[cifer]

The auto generated subtitles perfectly capture his speech

The main problem is that politicians rarely take a stand on anything if it threatens the popularity of their political party or their own reelection. And if they do take a stand, they won't get many donors the next time around.

i dont think any of the other speakers wanted to hold the mic after him

[sandelic]

I often wondered what would Žižek do if one tied his hands behind his back in some debate.

[Anudorini-Talah]

You know its gonna be a good one then the first three seconds are sniffing and snorting already XXDDD

[darthnephilim]

Zizek is providing baseball signals in perpetuity
