What are you watching on Youtube right now? Part III.

[Cheezy the Wiz]

They found some 21st century people frozen in stasis on this probe at the beginning of the episode. He's one of them ("The Investor," if you read my new thread about this episode).

the Romulan on the left sounds like the actor of Gul Dukat.

He may very well be. I know they liked to reuse actors for a variety of roles. Heavy makeup for Cardassian or Romulan characters would provide excellent "cover" for viewers who might mistake them as the same character.

 

[Monsterzuma]

I know he played another "Gul" on TNG (Dukat mainly being a DS9 character), so yeah it does happen.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Also, random thought. In this scene the two Romulans look like the hosts of Most Extreme Elimination Challenge.

I'm convinced they actually killed people to get these.

Ooer. Is that the far right guy? I do believe it is.

That's a worry. Isn't it?

'Be the change you wish to see in the world.'

 

[Monsterzuma]

I'm not that worried.

Here's a left-winger for balance. I like the thing he said about dogmatism being a good thing as an aspect of classical moralism.

Stormfront claimed a 600% increase in activity when Obama was elected. They did have ~2 posters. Now it's 12.

^That guy's got a way with sibilants, that's for sure. I've had to fetch a cloth.

He speaks well.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavoj_Žižek

In developing a thesis of ideology and its function, Žižek makes two intertwined arguments:[9]

• He begins with a critique of Marx's concept of ideology (as described in The German Ideology) in which people are beholden to false consciousness that prevents them from seeing how things really are. Žižek argues that people's deepest motives are unconscious and that ideology functions as a justification for the existing social order. That is, reality is constructed through ideology.
• However, the Real is not equivalent to the reality experienced by subjects as a meaningfully ordered totality. For Žižek, the Real names points within the ontological fabric, knitted by the hegemonic systems of representation and reproduction, that nevertheless resist full inscription into its terms and that may as such attempt to generate sites of active political resistance.

Zizek's voice is hypnotizing.

[Borachio]

No, I've not seen it (2 hours of it!). He's very critical of Marxism, though, isn't he?

(He's arms and hands are hypnotizing too.)

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

He's critical of everything. One should be critical of Marxism just like anything else. However, most people aren't "critical" of Marxism, they attack Marxism, which is different. One is a conversation, the other is an offensive. You see the difference? Zizek does.

However, he doesn't really discuss Marxism As A Thing in this movie, although he does discuss some Marxist cultural concepts (how can one not, when talking about a movie like "The Live?").

Youtube's blocking it here.

That's a shame. I've watched half of it. He is good.
