In order to do a proper materialist analysis we must start with the origin of language, around 150,000 years ago...

Most people want to be remembered or make an impact long after they die, hence creating great works of art, occupying positions of power, having a child, or even just striving to be a good person. If people collectively stop reproducing then there'll be no future to impact, no legacy to be remembered.

You need to subject her to a struggle session.

I don't like this "the state is cracking down harder, that means we must be doing something right" analysis. The state is not omniscient, it doesn't always act on rational calculation. State action alone isn't sufficient proof for the efficacy of a political movement

"One of Žižek’s great contributions to philosophy is in articulating the juncture between German Idealism (Hegel, Kant) on the one hand, and Psychoanalysis (Lacan, Freud) on the other, while at the same time maintaining a proper Marxist analysis. Žižek’s analysis of Anti-Semitism in Sublime Object of Ideology is precisely in recognizing that is isn’t enough to say that the anti-semite is simply wrong about the facts of Jewish people (content), but that we must show that “the anti-Semitic idea of Jew has nothing to do with Jews; the ideological figure of a Jew is a way to stitch up the inconsistency of our own ideological system”(49). To detangle anti-semetic logic, it becomes necessary to show that the form of anti-semitism is in reality a flimsy ideological web which is used to cover up both the lack in one's own subjectivity, but also in the failure of the anti-semite to recognize the lack in the other. This is why Lacan and Žižek say that the “big other does not exist”. Subjectivity, for Žižek, is a void. Most prejudices (racist, sexist, homophobic, classist, as well as transphobic) are understood as a scrappy inconsistent way for Subjects to cover this void, or contradictions latent within Identity (which is always split)."

FUUUCK
