SEASON 8 BTFO by ZIZEK

>Stephen King who noted that dissatisfaction was not generated by the bad ending but the fact of the ending itself. In our epoch of series which in principle could go on indefinitely, the idea of narrative closure becomes intolerable.

He's right

>So justice prevailed – but what kind of justice? The new king is Bran: crippled, all-knowing, who wants nothing – with the evocation of the insipid wisdom that the best rulers are those who do not want power.

And they put Tyrion in charge of everything despite being a complete fuckup and act like it's a punishment

Word

It's mindless entertainment. Get over it.

Zizek fucks, do you?

Actually a pretty interesting article. Now let's watch dopamine-fried shitbrains try and take down a fucking titan like Zizek. not even memeing

just turn your brain off

Dont click this link. It helps give money to clickbait journalists.

The most important line he wrote is
>revolutions have to go wrong, they bring new tyranny.
Of course since he's an unironic marxist he believes this is somehow untrue.

I am quite interested to know. Do you honestly think Zizek is intelligent?

He actually doesn't

I'm torn. On the one hand, I'm glad to see people finally starting to criticize GoT after four seasons of flagging quality. On the other hand, a lot of their criticisms (especially on the SJW side of things) are retarded.

>Daenerys as the Mad Queen is strictly a male fantasy
Yeah, there are no dudes out there masturbating into their dakimakuras whilst thinking about Dany committing war crimes.

>her descent into madness was psychologically not justified
Actually, Dany's predilection for extreme violence is pretty well justified even in show. Yeah, it's not quite as well developed as in the books, but they've done a good job of showing her willingness to resort to extreme measures. Where they did fuck up was in showing this particular act (burning all the people of King's Landing) to be reasonable from her perspective. They needed to spend an episode with her in occupied Casterly Rock, being attacked by the smallfolk (or something similar). They needed something to justify her going all Tarkin beyond her Elliot Roger-esque blue balls.

> she combines feminine softness and understanding with a good dose of intrigue, and thus fully fits the new power relations
Sansa is a cunt in the show. She treated Edmure, a guy that's gone through hell because of her brother's mistakes, like shit.

> revolutions have to go wrong, they bring new tyranny
They do. It's a rare revolution in history that doesn't result in significant amounts of bloodshed and misery beyond what the previous status quo provided.

>And one cannot help but note that those faithful to Daenerys to the end are more diverse
Not by much. The Westerosi are comprised of three distinct ethnic groups, and the Unsullied are indoctrinated bugmen with zero culture of their own. The Dothraki don't really have much culture beyond rape and violence, so they're a pretty good argument for diversity being neutral or even negative.

>YU AH MUH QUEEN
Also he's grasping at straws like a typical intellectual to excuse poor writing and pacing by the showrunners while reading too much into the intentions of Martin

>At this point, we should remember that the scenario was written by two men. Daenerys as the Mad Queen is strictly a male fantasy, so the critics were right when they pointed out that her descent into madness was psychologically not justified. The view of Daenerys with mad-furious expression flying on a dragon and burning houses and people expresses patriarchal ideology with its fear of a strong political woman.

>The radical queen who wanted more freedom for everyone irrespective of their social standing and race is eliminated, things are brought back to normal.
They invent democracy and elect a disabled boy.

>revolutions have to go wrong, they bring new tyranny.
this is pretty much always the case
the only post-revolution societies that were kind of peaceful were probably the ones when the soviet union fell and the Indian revolution (although you could argue that these systems were just replaced by the tyranny of corrupt governments and the tyranny of the resurfacing caste system)

have sex

They didn't invent democracy. The elites picked a leader, as opposed to the leader already having emerged from the elites from popularity like Robert or Robb

Lefty “intellectuals” are such a joke. They cannot watch a tv show about dragons without bitching about muh capitalism.

Then again, Jordan Peterson is another charlatan but gets praised by the right.

Which one is more likely?

when did he become a SJW neo-marxist?
i thought he was a classic marxist tankie

he can always take comfort in the fact that, unlike its Game of Thrones counterpart, in real life socialist revolution worked out well.

i thought zizek was above watching game of thrones. hes outed himself as a normie

It wasn't supposed to be like this! It was supposed to be a critique of the application of violence!

good argument

This. So relieving to finally have a litmus test for who's a knuckle-dragging retard who doesn't deserve the time of day.

I can't believe I'm defending the show and I like Zizek but a lot of the shit he is saying is the least charitable version you could possibly muster up. She didn't go nuts because Jon didn't fuck her, what a retarded thing to say. Also reading into things like ethnicity way too deeply when they literally have no relevance to anything really. I doubt DnD even considered that they were proving that radical revolution is impotent and that clearly white nordic peoples should maintain rule. Do they really honestly think DnD put this much thought into it?

1989-1991
That was hard

zizek hates nolan batman and loves marvel, who cares what he thinnks

I knew he was a Commie, but a Trot-tard too? Hilarious.

>Zizek capitulating to the chorus of narrative makers and opinion influencers whining endlessly over popular media refusing to flatter them or their impotent utopian notions

Very uncharacteristic him. I thought this might've been a fake article before I visited the link.

Of course he hates Nolan Batman, that is right wing kino.

Absolutely he's brilliant

I used to like him, as a character..never took it seriously...now i know i was wrong for liking him.

>Hack fraud genre fiction writer defends other hack fraud genre fiction writers

>Capitalist society
>Content created is parallel to the current ideology

You're dumb and you should feel dumb

I hope writing a snarky greentext misinterpretation of his post made you feel smart.

Why is Yea Forums taking this article so seriously? Zizek's just trying to cash out on that easy article money.

how so? anything in particular that caused you to change your opinion on a particular belief or view?

for me, he just does the same old predictable Frankfurt School critical theory deconstruction stuff without offering a better alternative.
Criticism is cheap and plentiful these days.

He knows he's reading what he likes from what boils down to two 9th graders rushing out homework, right?

Even diddling around King finished the Dark Tower series quicker. He's actually a step above Gurm.

what a leftypol fag

Any real intellect would be suppressed so hard people wouldn't even recognise what happened. Most probably couldn't tell real ideas anymore either, so it's not really even a threat.

he doesn't do that, his lacanian/Hegelian pedigree distinguishes himself sufficiently enough from the Frankfurt school, he's social media Adorno, he isn't a pure Marxist because he's carrying out an ontological, and not merely economic, critique of capitalism, because he thinks capitalism and the psychodynamics of desire and an ontology of the subject are all intrinsically linked.

and he's also basically a materialist atheist theologian, he has more interesting things to say about Christ and God than most actual Christians alive today

he's not social media Adorno*

>He's right
Except nobody is upset about series ending on good notes.
>Mad Men
>Justified

Fucking cringe. Go back to /r/The_Donald

have sex

They invented Bourgeois Democracy which isn't real democracy.

Guaranteed he didn't even watch it.
He admits this in his analysis of The Wire.

>The one who remains (as the queen of the autonomous kingdom of the North) is Sansa, a type of women beloved by today’s capitalism: she combines feminine softness and understanding with a good dose of intrigue, and thus fully fits the new power relations. This marginalisation of women is a key moment of the general liberal-conservative lesson of the finale: revolutions have to go wrong, they bring new tyranny.

>Sansa was a major figure in the North's rebellion
>Even after Jon sold them out to Dany still regularly argued the decision and never missed a beat to be a snide bitch to Dan.
>Actually fucking secedes even when her brother is actually King and becomes straight up Queen of the North.
>Whole character arc is basically losing her childish naivety of becoming a proper lady and becoming a ruthless mistrusting cunt who refuses to dress like anything other than a super villain.
The fuck is he talking about? How is Sansa a "good girl" archetype that plays nicely within the status quo when she spits in the face of the sweetest deal that the North has gotten since Ned ended up being blood brothers with the New King all because she's still dead set on accomplishing the goal of the decade long rebellion despite the all the reasons for doing so literally being dead? Sansa seceding is simply an uncharacteristically bloodless end to a bloody rebellion that claimed the lives of hundreds.
His characterization of Sansa definitely implies that.

>Sansa
>feminine softness
hahahaha wat

Croatian I'm guessing? Well anyway Žižek is pretty much the most mainstream philosopher alive today presumably because so much of his stuff focuses on movies which is the only thing people can relate to apparently. Also what said

Zizek made a similar argument about Black Swan and its supposed condemnation of ambition in women. He forgot to mention that every single other movie in the Aronofsky's filmography told the same basic story of obsession leading to madness, but with male protagonists.

This is what is happening here. If Dany was a guy, the fact that the show was commenting on how Western imperialism uses the language of progress and liberation to justify its expansion would be clear to everyone. But retards like Zizek don't allow for stories where ambitious women are presented as anything other than admirable.

He's a dumbass. And a plagiarist. And he looks like he doesn't shower.

Identity politics aside he is right that the usual "dude revolutions r always evil we need gradual change (aka no change)" is peak neoliberal nonsense

That's not what was being said on the show. Dany was a neocon. She was someone who, like Bush, used the language of liberation to justify her imperial ambitions.

He’s not redpilled but he is based

Bush was 100% a puppet, and bo Cheney was not his string puller, just his handler.

Holy fuck, move on.

Bruh! The starks aren’t Nordic they are Celts, like Britons, Scots and the like. The old tongue is celtic and also their religion is too. The andals who were BTFO’d are representative of ANGLES/ anglo-saxons who everybody complains about, their entire fucking civilization almost gets destroyed due to their retardation and in-squabbling. The Targaryens are Hitlers wet dream, its basically in their fucking name ye numskull. They come from some ancient civilization and have magic and shit and dominate everything and keep their bloodline pure and are the most dominant/ ruthless peoples, thus their rule (through strength and intolerance of insubordination) brings peace.

Dany was an example of literally every dictator ever who had a mental illness that probably contributed to their success and prominence. These have very often throughout history been Men BUT also women.

Stfu

It hasn't even been a week faggot. Even the Cobra Kai generals lasted longer than a week.

Yes, but the overall message is still that revolutions cannot be good, Dany starts as a revolutionary and becomes corrupted with power and ends up being another tyrant. At the end of the day she gets killed and everything returns to the status quo.

Contemporary media loves to sell this notion that radical change is always under all circumstances bad and only measured, slow change is of any worth. Mainly because the later is much easier to stifle.

archive that trash link you fucking queer

Nice

They don't return to the status quo at the end of the series. They go from a hereditary monarchy to an elected one, which is actually a major step to anyone who doesn't have an immature and romanticized view of what constitutes progress.

And there is no anti-revolution messaged being pushed in popular media, that's a conspiracy theory. We celebrate a revolution every 4th of July in this country; it's hardy considered anathema.

An elected monarchy decided by the noble houses which are still hereditary and at the end of the day have most of the power. And except for the King who is elected, the entire system works the exact same way as before.

4th of July is celebrated as a founding myth, not as a revolution.

Why would you think that? One of his main shticks is his philosophical takes on pop culture.

Do you know the slightest fucking thing about Zizek? He's written about Titanic. The Dark Knight. He's interested in what normies watch.

What difference does that make to your typical commoner? How do their material conditions improve in any way? There's no notion of a public life there, it hasn't changed. There's no upward mobility. It's simply a different way for the aristocracy to organize themselves.

>he got paid thousands to write this
fucking retards sustaining this blob

You're like a person who shits on the Magna Carta because England was still a monarchy after its ratification. An oligarchy and an aristocracy are objectively superior forms of governments than an absolute monarchy which is what they had before they decided to elect Bran.

There's no reason to think this could last. Westeros is now like the elective monarchy of the Holy Roman Empire, where the Emperor was chosen by the prince-electors. Its successor state was the Kingdom of Prussia, an absolute monarchy. The necessary philosophy and cultural change just isn't there in Westeros, this could be a disastrous experiment that would soon end once the constituent kingdoms decide they're better off separate. Why should Dorne pay taxes that benefit the Riverlands? They could easily all fuck off within a century, and now we're back to square one with warring kingdoms. Tyrion spitballing an idea to ditch succession one afternoon in the dragon pit does not count as a philosophical or political foundation for the future.

Power being defused from the one to the few helps the common Westerosi by giving people in diverse geographical locations around the kingdom more power to help their local principalities thrive.

What did you want? Khaleesi was an imperialist as well, who murdered people without trail as early as season 1. She wasn't going to set up a representative republic is Westeros; that was never a consideration. We went from a potential hereditary monarch whose ideology of anti-slavery lead her to sack entire cities and build up her army under the guise of liberation, to an elective monarchy that's also anti-slavery but has a less expansionist outlook.
>They could easily all fuck off within a century, and now we're back to square one with warring kingdoms.
How is the kingdoms choosing to split off and rule themselves not a form of progress?

Joke. People are so dumb any fat fuck can find a following online, look at sargon and this piece of shit.

youtu.be/33kAMeHVzBA

You've misunderstood the term fantasy

Foreshadowing is not justification (Arya and Sansa had been at least as brutal as Danaerys feeding people to their parents/dogs yet they didn't turn into insane mass murderers after they had already won)

I think he means softness of appearance and mannerism

Maybe this is the case, maybe not, I haven't actually done a comparative study of pre and post revolution societies and neither have you.

Again, you miss the point. Westeros represents the white countries of the world, Europe, USA, I guess Australia and NZ whereas Dothraki/Unsullied represent all the brown people...he's saying it's a bit stereotypical that Danaerys' forces who represent rampant savagery all happen to be the other while the Westerosi who represent order are the familiar

Hes pretty much a clown at this point, dancing around for entertainment. Though hes still does serious work in his books.

Where does one begin with reading Zizek?

This. These idiots need to read Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit.

Naturally as a Stalinist Zizek is opposed to the notion that absolute power corrupts absolutely or that fanatics might eventually end up killing a lot of people on their path to liberate everyone. If he wasn't he couldn't be a Stalinist, could he.

>You've misunderstood the term fantasy
Great argument, dumbass.

>Foreshadowing is not justification
Dany's atrocities are far worse than anything Sansa did. Sansa killed the man that raped her AND personally murdered her little brother. Arya is a bit murkier, but, even there, Dany has a higher body-count AND a worse record in terms of suffering-caused-before-death as shown on the show. I straight up wrote that they needed to show a better reason for burning King's Landing, but Dany's willingness to commit horrors is well established.

>I think he means softness of appearance and mannerism
But she's not soft in appearance or mannerism. She's quite cold in her interactions with Arya and Jon throughout Season 8, and I already mentioned her interaction with Edmure.

>Maybe this is the case, maybe not, I haven't actually done a comparative study of pre and post revolution societies and neither have you.
Lol. Where the fuck do you think you are?

>Again, you miss the point. Westeros represents the white countries of the world
No, you stupid motherfucker, you miss the point. "White" people don't exist. That's a classification entirely based on American conceptions of race, and it's not applicable to fantasy Westeros. Fantasy Westeros has three distinct ethnic groups with their own religious and cultural backgrounds. Did you completely miss all those brown Dornishmen throughout the show? Fucking hell, it's not like the Dothraki or Unsullied were ethnically non-white in appearance. Both were clearly products of mixed ethnic background.

Zizek is right in that if Martin or Dumb and Dumber wanted to really make something with political nuance or to give Dannys goals some context, they would have shown how actually she managed the 7 kingdoms post her take over. Instead we are given a "mad queen", what does that even mean? She is crazy why exactly? The writers resolved to turn the show into the most lazy conservative resolution. As if in history there never existed Cromwell's, Robespierre's or Lenin's who got shit done.

>As if in history there never existed [Genocidal Tyrant], [Shortlived Genocidal Tyrant] or [Ideologue That Gave Rise to Most Horrifically Efficient Genocidal Tyranny in History] who got shit done.
Wow, great examples of revolutionary leaders whose reigns lead to sunshine and puppies. Got any more examples for how revolution doesn't almost inevitably lead to a worse status quo.

they do but everybody on /pol/ I mean Yea Forums is retarded

>She is crazy why exactly?
Because she's a Targ you tard. They don't have the best mental health record. I do think the mad queen turn in the show is shit, but that's because they weren't consistent with it. They didn't set it up properly and more importantly they had her "snap" which is retarded. She should have acted like she always does, except to people we actually relate to instead of unlikable slavers

>Stalin wanted a world revolution
Nigger, read a book.

Literally never met anyone that uses the term 'neoliberal' that isn't a raging socialist.

I usually love Zizek but he's totally retarded on that one.

Actually, that was the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs. NEXT!

so appearing intelligent is more important to you than being intelligent?

Dany is quite obviously a neolib. How is she a neocon? Do you even know the meaning of either of those words?

wtf, i hate mass extinction events now

>communism at least payed lipservice to the proles
How magnanimous of it. Call me bitter but I prefer when systems don't pretend they're fucking me for my own good rather than theirs.

>And one cannot help but note that those faithful to Daenerys to the end are more diverse – her military commander is black – while the new rulers are clearly white Nordic. The radical queen who wanted more freedom for everyone irrespective of their social standing and race is eliminated, things are brought back to normal.

But this is how it would actually play out, in a fuedal medieval society. The one trying to bring freedom would get backstabbed and killed. Ever heard of the Peasants Revolt Zizek?

Who is Robespierre?

>She was someone who, like Bush, used the language of liberation to justify her imperial ambitions.
yes
>Dany was a neocon.
no

she's closer to a democrat (neolib), they were just as bloodthirsty and imperial after 9/11 but paid more lipservice to human rights

Read up on it. Basically all it did was kill the old aristocracy which was followed by a new one.

Les Miserables is set AFTER the french revolution.

So it okay that her father went mad for "no reason", but not her because... woman?

Wow, so this is the power of marxist intellectualism?

cringe and bluepilled

Yes. Dany is quite clearly more akin to Clinton than to Bush. She champions individual liberties and civil rights but then betrays these noble ambitions with her imperial aspirations and ruthless economic policy.

Yes, but ultimately there has been a shift in the status quo which has benefited the common people of France - they can now elect a leader and enjoy a life out from under the boot of the artistocracy. It took a while, yes, but it was a successful revolution eventually.

What's Dany's 'ruthless economic policy'?

>"i drunkenly ranted to my friends how daeny is the best character, and now i need to do full damage control"

this is fucking pathetic

And now the French are being replaced in their own country. What a successful revolution!

Lmao, sounds like an EU official or maybe even a redditor.
Why would anyone listen to this moron?

Sansa is not a strong woman. The show even makes a sordid attempt at arguing her rape made her stronger. But she is not strong. She embodies femininity, being soft and manipulative. She doesn’t take by force, like Dany. Dany taking power like a man would was her fatal flaw, in the eyes of our society women must earn power through strategising and scheming, never just walking in and taking what they deserve.

That women will fuck this lumpy potato of a man only makes me respect them less.
If my 'Titan', you mean 'Fat drunk'... Seriously, whatever brainpower this man claims to have, it's clearly been blown through a combination of gin-swilling and communism. Even the most brilliant man's an idiot when he allowed his ideology to blind him. This is nothing but 'White people = bad!' and whiteknighting.

He destroyed my old hero Jordan Peterson in an open and fair debate. Just anally raped him. So when I found a better set of arguments, I went with them.

I guess you're not interested in facts. Sad.

>glorious multiracial horde
Even the whites in America fall under that heading you disgusting mutt

YOU WILL NEVER BE WHITE

iven that communists are historically notorious for their lack of respect for property rights and self ownership and have been responsible for the greatest mass murders in recent human history, we can deduce that they do not apply rights such as self ownership to others or themselves. Furthermore this means that communists can not be considered moral agents. One can not be considered a moral agent if one does not have an ability to make a moral judgement. Since these moral relativists reject the notion of morality altogether we know they are incapable of acting in a moral fashion. In order for rights to exist between two or more beings there must exist some level of reciprocation of rights. Such is the minimum requirement for one to be considered a moral being. Communists are incapable of reciprocating rights as they do not believe such things exist. We can thus conclude that communists being incapable of showing the characteristics of humanity are therefore for all intents and purposes not human and as such should be treated as dangerous primates to be exterminated.

I dont think you're aware of Zizek's works or even read the article for that matter.

And when I say read the article, I mean actually read it and not reject every single word out of some ideological spite for his position on the political spectrum.

>white Nordic

Yikes. I guess this is why Danyfags are so delusional and angry about Game of Thrones. Its because they insert their real life political opinions into the TV show, and when their character loses, they take it as a personal attack on their identity.

Missandei dies? The white patriarchy is trying to get rid off the only black person on screen. Forget about the plot leading up to the character getting killed, this is an attack on our real life ethnicity.
Daenerys dies? Fucking capitalist pigs, this is an attack on socialism and communism. The straight white male writers can't handle a strong female character.
Random female character dies? The show hates women.

We've seen these comments time and time again on twitter and social media.

>And one cannot help but note that those faithful to Daenerys to the end are more diverse – her military commander is black – while the new rulers are clearly white Nordic.
This a direct quote from your "titan".

Zizek never claims "diversity is a good thing" in the article, he's merely pointing out the scenario as a point of interest.

When will you be losing your virginity?

Every time they use the word 'white' it comes out of their mouth like they're saying the word 'shit' or 'nigger'. There's practically a sneer to it, their fucking lips curl up. That alone would be enough to spook me away, let alone their hostility to gun rights. So no. Would never vote D under any circumstances, not until they get their fucking heads straight and stop sounding like Hitler talking about the 'insidious jews' every time the topic of white guys comes up.

it's because the only time whites come up in political discourse it's to do with white guilt.

that's way more like hitler than the dems

I can't believe some of you here actually take this bloviating clown seriously. He's every bit as much of a hack as Peterson. Nothing he says is even particularly insightful.

Who gives a fuck if your country is mighty if the average citizen's life is dogshit used to grease the machine? Egypt was a mighty and glorious power but I doubt the slaves building the pyramids took much solace in that.

Yes, he's condemning the scenario of Dany's descent into madness.

Here's a point from earlier in the article.

>The dissatisfaction turned on a couple of points: bad scenario (under the pressure to quickly end the series, the complexity of the narrative was simplified), bad psychology (Daenerys’ turn to “Mad Queen” was not justified by her character development), etc.

>One of the few intelligent voices in the debate was that of the author Stephen King who noted that dissatisfaction was not generated by the bad ending but the fact of the ending itself. In our epoch of series which in principle could go on indefinitely, the idea of narrative closure becomes intolerable.

How so?

Why not? They bring up other races just to praise them all the time. It's only ever white people that get pilloried for winning too much or kicking ass too hard. Are you gonna sit there and tell me your ass doesn't clench whenever a politician brings up the word 'white' because you immediately know he's going to be laying a bunch of shit at our doorstep at the same time he's praising the fucking people we had the grace to allow into our country as perfect blameless angels?

Sure it fucking was. That's why they had to build a wall in Berlin to keep all the comrades from escaping into the decadent capitalist west. That's why Cubans brave eighty miles of shark infested waters on four treadless tires strapped together. That's why North Korea is North Korea.

There's never been a communist state that wasn't a complete fucking shithole and you know it.

You could also read about their atrocities commited against their own people, or the starving peasants or how well political opposition was tolerated and dealt with.
Whole books have been filled about these topics. If you demand a system like communism in the west you are either retarded, a sadist or never bothered to read a history book about the topic.

It was in fact so great they had to build a wall with armed guards to prevent people from leaving said paradise in Eastern Germany.

>(Daenerys’ turn to “Mad Queen” was not justified by her character development),
So he didnt watch the series, or he thinks the "descent into madness" trope should only be reserved for male characters (like Daenerys' father).

Pretty much summed it up.

white people don't need the narrative, they've never been slaves, they didn't get their land taken off of them and they've done well financially for all of recorded history

but seriously, white pride is irreparably linked to nazism, so the stigma is there

Communism genocided the proles. The libertarian revolution of 1776 actually uplifted the masses. That's why even retards like you can share words from the commodity of their home. Communism is utter failure and it's past time you retards realize it.

You don't think minorities might not be as stupid and helpless as you think they are that they need constant headpats and cheek pinches to function? Furthermore, the issue isn't even that they politicans don't speak well of white men, it's that they invariable speak ill of them. The most generous, charitable political discourse on white men in the modern day holds that we're 'misguided'. The worst sounds like some shit from bizarro /pol/. Then goofy twenty something nitwits with sociology degrees wonder aloud in the pages of huffington post what's responsible for the rise of the alt right. It's a farce.

You're taking pure ideology.

Genocide is racial, The Soviet Union was proles killing proles on behalf of proles.

America didn't invent democracy, it's not the only liberal democracy and 1776 has little to do with modern libertarianism (which is apparently just no government)

I'm not advocating on behalf of communism, but they at least cared about the weak, whereas in today's US hellscape the weak are left to die with no safety net

>bullets vs milkshakes

He's not strictly incorrect, but I think he gives D&D far too much credit. The article strikes me as over-analyzing a situation whereby the writers had to wrap things up too quickly in the only way they could.

I thought the ending was the inevitable result of failure to plan ahead in the story combined with a requirement to produce something which fits the modern TV motif. The needed to create a shocking event has been something which has plagued GoT ever since the red wedding, Daenerys' rampage always seemed like the logical conclusion to that. Their mistake was using a character which has taken on a different meaning to the public in comparison to the one which is represented in the show.

oh fuck off, I usually agree with zizek but that doesn't mean he's right about everything - and he's wrong about Thrones.

This show has a litany of foundational problems post-book divergence (not because "it wasn't the books" per se, bt rather that what DABID came up with in lieu of GRRM's story, something Zizek probably would've enjoyed actually since it digs into revolutionary politics of the peasantry against the nobility pretty hardcore in AFFC but they axed that entire dimension from the show) - but "it's sexist because Dany is bad" is not one of them.

Daenerys has been established as a sanctimonious, self-important charismatic leader who's spent the whole series (books and show) building up a cult of personality around herself so seductive countless real life people fell into it. Anyone with an iota of brain power saw her "turn" coming years and years ago.

>Seriously. I'm from a slav country near Slovenia
You're a Croat, I reckon.
You need to understand, in Marxism there are revolutionaries and intellectuals.

Basically, Eastern Socialism is revolutionary, it was established through military power, like that of Josip Tito, who ruled the country where Žižek came from, half of his life-time.

Žižek on the other hand is a Western Socialist, they try to culturally subvert Capitalism until "true" Socialism can be established, even though they're mostly just bourgeois themselves.

Because he knows the difference between the two, he's trying to get back to actual, materialist Socialism, he is acceptable for most debates, even with right-wingers, as he doesn't try to denounce his opposition as "Fascist".

Mostly though, he achievs nothing and his thought seems a bit two-sided.

As right-wing person and bookfag, I would consider Daenerys rise to madness normal, considering that is inherent to her family line, considering she was obsessed with justice and murder already in the past, see her time with Khal Drogo, Quarth, Slaver's Bay and the Dothraki Khals.

Everything she achieved was because of her family name and her military, she is actually what you would call "a huge bourgeois" that wants to implement something that you would call "modern leftism".

Fucking semantics

didn't you learn your lesson at vietnam you mutt?

Most of the funding for fucking the revolution was coming from the United States.

>with the evocation of the insipid wisdom that the best rulers are those who do not want power.
Of course this observation would trigger a closet Stalinist like Zizek.

Socialism controlled like half the fucking world and they brought nothing but misery and poverty. They just all stagnated and collapsed in on themselves.

The USA didn't even have to intervene in most of these countries because they collapsed on their own.

Zizek is basically disappointed that everything turned to modern day status quo and dany being a walking sexual fantasy that got btfo.

I’ve noted how people turned 180 degrees and started worshipping dany after the last episode.
There is some good indication that SOMETHING happened in the minds od people, that she is more palatable AFTER being turned into an archetype.

Comfortable enough to be complicit works for me. I guess I'm just a dirty rotten conformist for not wanting to burn down capitalism for some foggy dream of what could be (that has never, ever, EVER worked).
>Americans still work harder and earn less than their more socialist EU counterparts.
They're also bearing the cost for the EU's defense for something like the last hundred years, on top of Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and much of South America when the USSR was funding communist revolutionaries in every country. With all that they still have on average more disposable income. Even then, it's not a comparable situation. It's probably not an exaggeration to say that if America became as passive as Europe is half the world would get gobbled up by the Chinese overnight, and see how far flogging your kinder society human rights shit gets you with them.

>because he thinks capitalism and the psychodynamics of desire and an ontology of the subject are all intrinsically linked.
Which makes him even more of a Marxist.

His consciouss analasys of modern society and his hampfisted attempt at providing water-proof evidence for the scientific superiority of Marxism are two very different Things.

At the end of the day, he will not agree with a right-winger that shares the exact same views about modern society, just because he doesn't concede to "Marxist superiority".
>basically a materialist atheist theologian
Atheist and materialist thought derrive from the enlightenment and humanism, which in turn were started by church seperatists and liberal theologians.
>he has more interesting things to say about Christ and God than most actual Christians alive today
That says more about modern Christians than about him.

He merely reflects on Christian cannon and applies materialist analasy to everything that is said in the bible, which gets somewhat close a to a literary interpretation.

Modern Christians are mostly cucked by the fact that church authorities surrendered their cause to liberal agendas.
Liberal, Marxist, materialist and atheist thought are inferior to Christian ethics and dogma and fundamentalism and tradition have largely been surpressed by secularization, which is what every single of these "cultural Christians" and "modern Christians" admits.

Slavoj remains a modern Marxist, influenced by Frankfurt school and slave to the system of thought that is emposed upon him.

>it's not real communism

He was talking about how their "evil capitalist prisoners" don't imprison people in their borders when they obviously do

>People like Chelsea Manning aren't political prisoners

No I didn't.

Even marxists and socialists say China isn't real communism.
Stop being a brainlet.

Sansa schemes because that's what she had learnt from littlefinger and Cersei. Meanwhile Arya just goes to the vanguard and kills like she has learnt from her journey, the same goes for Yara. Stop being retarded.

No you shit eating retard
He was talking about how capitalist countries allow for freedom of speech and don't lock people up for disagreeing with the government.

There's a middle ground between Koch boot and Stalin boot.
It's called Social Democracy: Strong Labor Unions, Economic Protectionism, Social Liberalism.

The hard part is selling it to NO TAXES retards who hate to think that they might have to spend a cent on anyone else.

Why are you even saying this?
If you support socialism and/or these socialist countries, YOU SUPPORT LOCKING PEOPLE UP FOR THEIR POLITICAL VIEWS.

Why are you such a hypocrite?

I went to a party in east Germany one time where we danced on the mass graves of red soldiers. The USSR is dead youtu.be/fgm14D1jHUw Enjoy the pizza.

I'm certainly not going to disagree. The rushed nature of the series seemed as if it did necessitate reducing everything to simplistic archetypes so as to keep things from becoming too complex.

My only real criticism is that I'm simultaneously not sure how much value an ideological analysis holds under those circumstances. Which is to say, I'm really not sure, not that I don't think it works.

>yeah it was the martians staging coups across latin america and middle east.
A fucking communist is going to bitch to us about coups being staged in latin america? You know literally one hundred percent of the numerous communist guerilla movements were USSR planned and funded, right?

cope

I’m not advocating for full on communism, I’m just saying we can easily improve our current system by actually supporting workers. Sorry you’re an intense bootlick.

>They're also bearing the cost for the EU's defense for something like the last hundred years,

So I guess we can agree that America trying to be global police is a bad idea that really only benefits weapons manufacturers and the politicians they bribe.

How do you refute the demographic trends shaping the west? I have never heard a leftist make a coherent fact based argument around the looming reality that in a long enough timeline those minorities are going to displace us

if you didn't overthrow the popular govs there wouldn't be an insurgency you zionist slave

I suggest you to go on a trip to South America and see for yourself what a mutt mayority does.

Don't forget Venezuela and Cuba

By definition of whom?

The German Jews had more wealth than the average Russian worker, was it wrong for Hitler to kill them?
You will say, "of course 't'was".

Then you'll say "Hitler was a cuck who surrendered to industrialists and bourgeois!".

Then I'll ask "Is the morality of "physical removal" justified by the absence of so-called Capitalists?"

To which every Communist leader of that time would reply "Yes", while you will now try to cope with that.
The Communists starved millions of underage virgins through their agricultural policy, so they were at fault.

Now, justifying that would basically make you pic related

>Minorities had it shitty for a long time, it's natural that they'd lash out and be resentful the first chance they get, and it's natural that empathetic pious douches would lash out on their behalf.
And it's only natural that white people that had nothing to do with slavery would push back and defend their meager economic flesh from getting carved up just to satisfy their bloodlust. What's NOT natural is being white yet still choosing to stretch out your neck to be slashed, or worse, become one of their ramparts against other white people. For what? You think they're gonna let you slide after you help them strip away everything they want from other white people?

I don't give a shit about socialism I am pointing out that capitalists in america (at least the small hat ones) don't give a shit about free speech.

Giving people that slaughter children in villages for sport free money, free citizenship and a livelihood is factually socialism but I don't see dumb boomers complain about that.

It's directly stated, retard.

>>People like Chelsea Manning aren't political prisoners
Chelsea Manning literally gave classified military intelligence to a foreign operative. The people in Berlin were just trying to escape the USSR.

every single wh*toid benefited from slavery. The current wealth of the west comes from hundred years of thievery across the third world.

I'd be lying if I said I've never been concerned, but we've laid a good ideological groundwork (don't be racist) despite attempts to undermine it from the far right and left, and it's not like brown people are a singular hivemind, they all have different conflicting cultures and ideologies and the only real unifying factor is a belief in western cultural values like freedom and equality.

>Half didn't even knew him

He sure trolled the board

As bad as this sounds, America has protected a lot of people from themselves for a long ass time. Lets set aside policing the sea lanes or making sure first world countries are handling their conflicts the right way: the fact is western europe is so fucking dopey that if America hadn't been leaning on them hard during the Cold War they probably would have elected some dopey KGB asset to leadership and sank their entire country, thus blowing every investment the US had in it. This is pretty cynical realpolitik but it is what it is. Europe is ideologically tender.
