"better an evil god than no god" is going to just rattle in my head for days

Total lies. Somehow the people peddling ivermectin don’t want to profit. But this is why people warn not to look at the comments I guess.

Hector Jaime

Zizek's a theorist. The fact he knows so much about US politics is frankly surprising and added plus. The people in these comments sound like homers complaining the national football announcer is out of touch with their team. Nah, you're just too close to it, dude.

Jon

Your wrong also you’re a neoliberal corporatist.

Riley Bloomer-Ludwig

You're wrong. You're not even using you're vs your correctly. And you like Zizack are taking the side of neoliberal corporatism while thinking that you're on the left. YOU ARE WRONG, and also stupid

Lilith

Brilliant. Y’all did a great job just staying out of his way and letting it bloom. One for the archives.

Trevor Ryan

when Zizek said “I love you” to Matt… I felt that

Leo Yuan

Haters in the comment are pussies, Slavoj is an absolute king

mischlingmenace

this was painful to read, cringe

You're wrong.

Riley Bloomer-Ludwig

A great thought-provoking episode.

PS - before you deride me as a delusional nut re the vaccines and Ivermectin, I've been a registered nurse for over 20 years and I'm a qualified vaccinator, and I have been following the science, and reading, understanding and critiquing medical science/papers is part of the nursing scope of practise, so unless you've got a masters level qualification in biology or better, I don't want to hear your opinion about my opinions on the science, because your not qualified to have one.

The reason that Zizeck is basically wrong about just about everything in this is that his understanding is based on fact after fact that is simply wrong wrong wrong. That vaccinating the world with these "vaccines" could end the pandemic is simply not true. That it would be an ethically defensible thing to do relies on the faulty premise that the vaccines are safe, (wrong) and that covid is equally serious to all populations (wrong). The idea that India controlled their terrible outbreak through a combination of vaccination and local measures is wrong. They controlled it by giving everyone Ivermectin (except in Goa, which didn't control the pandemic). Yes, that would be the same Ivermectin that Japanese doctors started giving everyone enmass two weeks before covid "miraculously" disappeared from Japan. Yes folks, we could end this pandemic by giving everyone Ivermectin, but we're not allowed to prescribe it anymore because it's not profitable for the drug company's because it's not under patent. Because his analysis is based on so many faulty assumptions, he's basically just wrong about everything. He also seems to be under the (at this point frankly delusional) mistaken idea that anyone in the world lives in anything sufficently resembling a democracy that we have any say in what kind of government we get to have, and therefore that theorizing about what sort of government we should most want to move towards is anything other then mastabatory at this point. Personally, I'm not very interested in listening to Zizeck jerking himself off, but if that's your thing ,then knock yourselves out.

Invite Max Blumenthal on to talk about the effects of Covid lockdowns
