This time is qualitatively different. Capital is now destroying the basis for human life on the planet. Although "the world" might keep going, it will do so in a way hostile to humans, and in a way that means the death of millions of people now living and unborn. Its easy to say "this is just another crisis", but 1) its not, as it is destabilising the climate that birthed all human civilisation and 2) its up to us to try and make the "keeping on of the world" as well functioning as possible - optimism in practice.
He was approaching death but did not realize it and continued on. Like the torment of an animal. Now society is aware of this. And it will suffer in the process. This will be a psychological trauma for the whole society. Because what will cause this injury, it is deprived of consciousness (name is capital).
2:10 Except they're already doing it now. All it takes is just one click to see good and rational people being absorbed in Tate/redpill content, spiritual conspiracies, and all sorts of "solutions" per se.
frankly we got very lucky with omicron being almost a viral vaccine. but still, it brought up questions we have yet to answer, so not totally uneventful
I believe it is from his interview with NovaraMedia, the title should be something like "Downstream: Fascism is everywhere with Slavoj Zizek", tell me if you find it
Yes .. we should prepare for emergency state... When we can see not under ours noise but up.... (How long are our noise??)there stop and start.. stupidity...
He is right - as the climate situation progresses emergency states (non social/liberal democracies) will most likely arise, and I would much rather have the Reds be in charge of them than the fascists.
France is right now entering an emergency state: slashing social policies while ramping up military spending. And they don't need the climate as an excuse. Russia is enough of an excuse for them, even though it's quite clear that Russia would never attack a fellow nuclear power. Emergency states are just part and parcel of the capitalist playbook. Shock Therapy by any other name.
the "reds" have arguably exasperated the situation far more than modern liberal/capitalist states, by following the 18th century model of industrial development. Look how much China or the USSR devotes/devoted to War, and how little they actually improved or revolutionised social life.
Cracked up daffy duck having a schizo episode, as far as role-models and inspiration go. It's no wonder your world is coming to an end this man is chronically depressed and calling it a political statement
The world is always coming to an end, it's always just starting, and it's always keeping on. That's what makes it a world.

bullshit relativism, a wordplay is not an argument
The project of civilisation is coming to an end. This much is true and we should accept the failure
Civilisation is ending. This isn't a physics class

Tldr; Pessimism itself fails and is left to reconcile itself with the struggle at hand
Why be a pessimist? How about indifference?
well Slavoj, we had an opportunity to respond to an 'emergency state' already with COViD, and how did that go?

Massive state intervention, massive investment in public healthcare even in the USA under Trump.

I don't like those cuts.
How such an outstanding intelligence can muster such dogma at this time is really remarkable.
Life is what it is. I accept it. Not interested in changing. Not optimistic or pessimistic
you live in history, from hunter-gatherers to now is a result of people changing things
You are pessimistic
The world is not ending.
worlds are always ending, and always beginning.
Elaborate your answer.
The planet aint ending, but for many people their worlds will end, ie, they will die and suffer because of capital.
it is tho
no humanity is ending... world is gonna be just fine@@Wiggy_knows_null
