WTF happened to Slavoj Zizek?

I was just reading Mapping Ideology on the exercise bike and like... he used to be cool?

He lost me a couple years ago with some bass-ackwards essay bitching about the existence of trans folks and them daring to ask for rights over on Terf Island or w/e.

Also, I really ought to read Marcuse.

"would you fuck your clone" = boring, who cares, the answer says nothing about you other than whether or not you're your own type

"would you fuck MY clone" = unexpected, high potential to cause a lot of 'why would you fuck my clone and not me?' drama, reasonable question to ask if you're a mad scientist

Ok I actually have to write up this crazy fucking dream I just had, completely unprompted

So I had some legit fucking weird ass fever dream about going to a uni for coding and working on ancient computer stuff in a country where there's these propaganda/school material loot drops that are done and managed by the minister of propaganda, who in this case was slavoj zizek. They would drop out of the sky kinda like the drop pod things in lethal company and when they opened they'd just drop random textbooks and vague eastern-european looking propaganda on the ground, and you had to dress up as and pretend to be a Nazi to go over to them and pick stuff up, and he literally shows up in person and thanks you for doing it sometimes and makes sure your Nazi impersonation is up to spec before you open the pod thing.

So I did that and apparently did so well that my entire class got a promotion or something, and I decided to get drunk for the first time in my life, so I ordered two shots of jack and coke because that's like the only thing I know how to order and they just poured me a tall glass of it instead with like a lime on the top, and I ordered fries with it but apparently it wasn't lunch yet so they just made this weird fucking sandwich that was like an amalgamation of like 23 different things instead, and then gave me the glass they already finished pouring after making the sub/sandwich for like a full half hour in front of me.

Also for some reason slavoj zizek was also a visual artist or something and personally wrote and designed one of the textbooks for our classes and literally the entire uni regarded that specific textbook as the "coding bible" and talked about it like it was literally the best coding textbook ever written. It had like three weird esoteric lines of text on every page that vaguely referenced coding and then just a bunch of random designwork that I think kinda looked a bit like the designs on the old US C ration boxes but literally everyone regarded that specific textbook as the best coding textbook in the world. It was some shit like "he who codes, can code" or "arrays let you put stuff in arrays, amen" and then just a bunch of random fucking designs all over the page that had literally zero relation to coding whatsoever, and literally every single page was like that, and there was like a massive essay at the end with like pictures and stuff taking about slavoj zizek and the contributions he's made to the textbook and the nation, and I think my brain confused him with zladislaw beksinski at some point because apparently he also just went by that name for some reason.

I wasn't even thinking about zizek before I went to bed so I assume he must have broke into my house and walked up next to my bed and infiltrated my brain that way somehow.
