From an unknown source. You’ve probably heard this already in some of Zizek’s lectures. German ideology - reflective, philosophical
French - revolutionary, dismissive
Anglo-American - intermediate, passive

this shit is dope
A brilliant fusion of Lacanian psychoanalysis and post-Marxist political economy. Zizek shakes the philosophical foundations of our entire civilization.
At the lowest point.
For everyone he speaks Slovenian! Nije spomenuo Polski toaleti! LOL
You could say he’s become flushed with success;Try to find his critique on Spielberg & ET;Its hilarious!
having tried all 3 toiletry systems I think the french as usual,have the most elegant & practical system ;Societies which encourage you to examine your own feaces are In freudian terms,the most self obsessed,greedy & neurotic;The Dutch are an exception to this rule due to having the scheisse -on-slab system imposed upon them.
That would suit him better, certainly.
Only Levi-Strauss was wrong.
What a clown! Though he’s passionate about shit. I’ll give him that.
Yes, it’s Slovenian. But I prefer English..
Oh, yeah…
I use my cornfield as a toilet. Where does that fit in the triangle?
I was under the impression that human shit was somehow naturally very special and different from, say dog or cat or horse shit. Ours, I thought, was lighter, more buoyant, somehow less earthy, somehow… less real. But then I went to Holland, where, like in Germany, your shit falls flat on a dry porcelain shelf… then I learned that all the “natural” properties of human shit were lent to it by the water it floats in, here in American toilets. I left Holland a wiser man, for sure.
Holy shit. I don’t make stupid puns, so don’t misconstrue my words: holy shit! I love Zizek. And years ago, after a shocking trip to Europe, I wrote a column about this–minus the real insight and all that stuff, but… holy shit! This strikes me as a big, fat, reeking brown coincidence, the kind you get after eating greasy filth for days followed by a storm of fiber-fueled bran flakes and bean sprouts. And four cups of coffee. I mean a big, long, superhuman coincidence.
This is shitty philosophy. =P
ich liebe dieseN Mann.
Najbolji si!
Also as an American, I think we would be much better off if instead of working out ways to ignore what we produce, we spent more time becoming aware of and accepting it. ;^)
This guy can be so funny sometimes!
Exactley, the Anglo-American version would be comparable to “cooked food” in Levi-Strauss’ semiotic triangle
