Excerpts and Inspirations

Ideology is a filter, a frame, and when you look through this frame to see the mundane and identical social reality, everything changes. It reminds me of Husserl's phenomenology. Every limited symbol or symptom of political ideology All have to rely on this latitude, the rigid pleasure, the excessive pleasure in the pain, the frozen monstrous image of the Big Other, the foundation that springs up in every heart, and the role of the Big Other lies in the "Weiwen" We need a character of the "Big Other" to come Weiwen He is the reason we maintain appearances In order to make us an individual we need the "big other" we need a media folder to document our predicament our truth will be remembered and accepted an intermediary to whom we can confess but What if such an intermediary does not exist? Maybe people will finally find that the "big other" does not exist - Laconde's theory is that there is no such a mediator who listens and lets himself speak frankly, an ideal "person", there are only some individuals, so we are lonely...? Kafka "For a modern, secular, non-religious person, Guanchaoji is the only surviving connection to the divine dimension." There is no "people", the people do not need the "people", and the party does not Need "the people" but the people need the Tribute Party I suddenly found that the saddest thing is not that the Tribute Party has harmed us but that we (most modern secular non-religious people) need the Tribute Party. How many people have their own gods? People always have to believe in something, don't they? So why is there a supervisory authority in Christianity and Buddhism? In the ordinary theological universe, our obligations are given by God and determined by society or another higher authority and your responsibility is to do it. It's whereas in a chicken-in-the-atheist universe you're not only responsible for fulfilling your obligations, you're also responsible for deciding what your obligations are. If you think about it, a society like ours offers yet another chance to be a superhuman achievement. Our own chances If there is no salacious party and no other religion how can we go beyond ourselves and how do we determine what our obligations are maybe we will learn from the Japanese (they don't have a totalitarian government and they don't have much religion) The Japanese belief is There is a minimal hysteria in the way we experience ourselves—a way in which we question our social identity symbols against the authority that determines our identity

The Pervert's Guide to Ideology quotes

  • Slavoj Zizek: We usually think that military discipline - is just a matter of mindlessly following orders. Obeying the rules. You don't think you do what is your duty. It's not as simple as that. If we do this, we just become machines.

  • Slavoj Zizek: The truly disturbing thing about The Dark Knight - is that it elevates lie into a general social principal, - into the principal of organisation - of our social political life. As if our societies can remain stable, - can function, only if based on a lie. As if telling the truth, and this telling the truth - embodies in Joker means distraction. Disintegration of the social order.
