I constantly reassert my hatred for YouTube, with its (literally!) billions of videos and too many podcasts that often take 2-3 hours each, because there isn’t enough time to watch everything that seems of interest, especially in these crazy times. But I keep going to it, usually for political analysis or recorded talk shows and interviews.

This time, I want to embed 3 very recent videos featuring Slavoj Žižek. I will add no comments whatsoever. To the first one, I commented a bit on Facebook, but in Romanian. So you’ll never know which of Žižek’s ideas I agree with (or not).

Food for thought:

❶ UnHerd, they don’t say when or where, with Flo[rence] Read: Slavoj Žižek: Trump is a liberal fetish:

❷ Berggruen Institute, at Casa dei Tre Oci, they don’t say when: Europe’s role in the current planetary politics: Slavoj Žižek:

❸ Novara Media, somewhere, sometime: The REAL Point of Trump’s Tariffs | Aaron Bastani Meets Slavoj Žižek:

In this third talk, there is a good deal of ideas that are repeated from the first one: some in a shorter form, some others in ways that clarify them. But there are many new ideas that would deserve commentary. I might discuss a single one of them in a future post.

Until now, I didn’t have a tag “zizek”; however, I linked for a couple of times in my comments (which are not searchable). Examples: here and here.
