Friends dragged me to Inside Out 2 and it was saccharine dogshit that mostly made me think of my awkward moments in high school sports. To its credit it was only 90 minutes long. Anyway Zizek's idea would have been much more unhinged and interesting.
Rules for Movies & TV Discussion
Any discussion of Disney properties should contain a (cw: imperialism) tag. If your post isn't tagged appropriately it will be removed.
Anti-Bong Joon-ho trolling will result in an immediate ban from c/movies and submitted to the site administrators for review.
On Star Trek Sunday only posts discussing how we might achieve space communism are permitted. Non-Star Trek related content will be removed and you will be temporarily banned until the following Sunday.
Here's a list of tons of leftist movies.
Zizek lets half of his real views slip when he talks about “psychic breakdown and suicidal acts of violence.”
We know from Zizek’s condemnations of Hamas and his giving Israel a right to defend itself (per his words) that he not only offers up the view that Palestinian resistance is essentially hopeless squirming, that the “Palestinian plight” is sad and heartbreaking and yet there is nothing that can be done but gaze into an idealized future divorced from all conditions (this is Stephen Gowans’ wonderful view), but Palestinian resistance is both suicidal and evil, and whatever liberal weaseling within this we get it’s no different than Nietzsche’s eternal slavery.
The only truly just and correct thing for this Palestinian child to do in Zizek’s view is die in silence or wait to be saved by some Western country (whether it’s the US through his Kautskyite vision of the future of Western military intervention or NATO the peacekeepers, who knows!). He only plays the empathetic mouthpiece so that he can use the oppression of Palestinians to make some idiotic point about a mundane Disney movie. This is what Zizek does, he is worthless.
