The first time Zizek has disappointed me... I may cry. I was expecting a call to arms. http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/3496710.html
How can he possibly approve of the occupiers ASKING PERMISSION (yeah, I'm talking about your fucking permits) from the corrupt state to engage in an activity that is supposedly meant to overhaul the state's values. That doesn't make any god damned sense. I feel like I'm on crazy pills watching this trash. A corrupt system/ state of power will never legally allow anything that will lead to the change we need. An occupation is a forcible, militant take-over, not asking for a permit then shitting yourselves and throwing a fit when it expires. YOU affirmed the state and its laws and its values with your wimpy permit and then cry when they enforce it.
This whole display of fashionable and uber-compliant angst is NO different than buying your Toms because it makes you feel like you did something good and changed the world, when all you did was look sweet for your next facebook album. Shit is grim.
