but hes right about a lot of things. kind of sad that this 72 year old is one of the most influential intellectual on the left today
edit: I think this post was taken in the wrong way. You should read Zizek, he does have good ideas. I call him a "grifter" not to shut down his ideas, but rather as an acknowledgement of his limitations.
Not really a grift. At least, not on the level of Andrew Wakefield or Alex Jones; he has some interesting things to say, but as with many intellectuals (and artists, for that matter) he is only capable of talking about the same few things, because that's all he really knows.
Not that I know what those things are, because I've never read any of his books, but still
