I talk a lot about what I call the Trump Effect, Trump's making things we've long had (like torture and brutal deportations) toxic. Man oh man if the Trump Effect hits the NRA as well, you might just convince me the misery of this Admin could bring good.

heh, I take a piecemeal approach to Z. I like a limited set of what he says even if I discount a lot. But that was one of his core arguments back in the day, that's all and there is some kernel of truth/power there.
Yeah, it's personal for me. I studied with him and he volunteered to be on my diss committee (I did not take him up on that).

I was just cleaning out my bookshelves and found an old Zizek book and the first thought that came to my mind was "I wonder what he would have thought about
@emptywheel's dissertation?" -
The meeting at which he asked to be on the committee I pointed out a theorist he had made us read had his history wrong, basically to support the theory. He said it didn't matter, the theory was all that mattered. But boy did he think my diss topic was sexy.

Some months later an equally illustrious scholar in my field heard my topic, also thought it was sexy, looked at my boobs, turned to a guy next to him whose school was hiring, and said, "hire her."
