serious (i.e. non-rhetorical) question: why do people consider Slavoj #Zizek a #leftist ? What is #leftwing about his belief system?

”The longer we tolerate Russia the more horrible the final confrontation will be”

"""
My problem with liberal anticommunist historians is that if anything they are not critical enough [of the] Stalinist regime. They reduce it to bad people who wanted money, power, whatever. (...) Because the horror of Communism, Stalinism, is not that bad people do bad things — they always do. It’s that good people do horrible things thinking they are doing something great.

Listening to an interview with #Zizek and he rightly points out how confused our society is when it comes to things we label "possible" vs "impossible".

Singularity or colonizing Mars in our collective imagination is possible, while taxing the rich or UBI is impossible.

Ways to fight climate change.

Easy:
Buy less stuff.
Re-use more stuff.
Fix broken stuff.
Burn less stuff.
Eat local stuff.

Feel free to add to the list.

Non ideological answers only.

@mike You had me until the last sentence. A reading of some #Zizek is in order. 😂

Let me try anyway...

  • Don't eat meat.

Hmm, that's a #vegan ideology...

What about:

  • Don't use a car.

That's #banCars ideology.

  • Don't fly?

That's just pure #JustStopOil ideology.

I tried, but hey, "buy less stuff" is some heavy #antiCapitalism and #antiConsumerism ideology right there.
