(8 years ago)Slavo Zizek's interview for the Guardian, a year ago changed, in which you speak of yourself as a bad father, how it has become more aggressive and how writing has saved lives all of us are essentially bad, selfish and disgusting people. Take torture, for example. I [...]
We are all basically bad people, selfish and disgusting. Take torture, for example. I'm realistic. If I had a daughter and someone would kidnap her, and I would have found a friend of the kidnapper, then I couldn't say I wouldn't torture that boy.
I have become more aggressive over time. Some say I belong on the right, which absolutely doesn't stand. As far as the refugee crisis is concerned, we have to give up the subx0> patronage. No, there are killers among them, as there are among us. The ban on liberal left to missign for refugees results in monopolizing this from right which is against immigration.
I'm not a good father. There's something funny about protecting my dignity that I automatically resist. My teenage son identifies with this attempt to undermine my authority. When he was 14 years old, I was angry with him and I told him a vulgar insult in Slovenian: He replied: “This already happened 15 years ago. So I was born. ”
My friends call me Fidel. Not because of politics, but because I talk too much. I've visited Cuba once, and on TV, I saw Fidel Castro enter a meeting and say: “friend, in five minutes I'll make some remarks.” I fell asleep, and when I woke up five hours later, he was still talking.
I hate arrogance of political accuracy. With black friends, in contrast to politically correct whites, I have real contacts. How? Through dirty stories, fucking jokes. When you visit a foreign country, you can play together and talk about interesting food and music, but how do you really become friends? By sharing shameful things.
I can't have one-night meetings with women. In my town, Ljubljana, you can know exactly which women I slept with, because I was married to them.
It would be terrible if I told you I love Isis. But you see their organization with their identity flying postmoder. There is a certain secret trend in Islam; a wonderful Muslim historian of philosophy claimed that St. Aquinas had misrepresented Aristotle under the influence of Islamic poets like Avicenna, which led to modernity, gay rights, and so on.
My parents were not strictBut they were very explanatory. I didn't like it. Both died in the hospital during the night, and when I heard from a phone call the next morning, I was in front of my computer working. I said, have all the preparations been made? Okay, okay, ” and I went on. I felt totally cold something didn't work out. I'm not happy about that.
Hollywood knows everything. He's obsessed with dystopis, like. Elysium or The Unger Games. I really think any of them could be our future. Young people today must prepare for the great catastrophe, but engage in how to think about it, how to engage in daily local problems, rather than escape in morality.
Writing saved my life. Some years ago, I was in a situation when I thought about suicide because of some private love troubles. I used to say to myself: First I'll finish, then I'll kill myself.” And then there was another text, and so on and so on, and here I am alive today.
