the most salient point from the zizek chapo interview was the call for the left to rediscover its moral majority but that would entail a rejection of most of its new-found objectives so it will fall on deaf ears

I'm not sure he was specifically pointing to "the moral majority" as we know it, so much as rediscovering first principles of dignity, respect, kindness, joy, etc
Yeah, but we're at this really ugly point where people can see the cruelty of the new liberalism but not its destructiveness or futility. We have to wrest dignity, kindness and respect away from morons who can only imagine these things in terms of arbitrary prohibitions
