Must See
There’s annoying tendency in left-wing film criticism to write reviews of movies with the twist being that the reviewer never saw it. All the trenchant commentary they made was based on the publicity campaign, the word from other reviews, and predicting forward from past films from that studio or franchise. Zizek did it with Matrix Resurrections and SMG did it with Avenger’s Endgame. It’s dumb trope and I *like* SMG and Zizek. I’m sure you’ve seen the trend going around.
It’s a joke see, that everything is so predictable that an observer of culture can see it without seeing. And yes, true, you’re very clever, but so what? I’m clever too - so what have you TOLD me that I did not already know? Every time we watch a movie is an encounter with the Real. We can choose to see only the properties we expect - how likable the characters are, is the franchise fading, whether right wing OR left wing tropes appear and how many - or we can actually see the thing in itself. We can notice that for all Love and Thunder is cheap mood-killing jokes for the first hour, there’s a half an hour of dead serious emotions filmed in black and white. We can notice how incredibly cute the outfits of the horror movie’s Final Girl are. We can apply our own perspective to the film - not just in our ideological interpretation, but simply what details you caught no one else did.
This is why the greatest sin is to read only the reviews and the fanfic and godforbid the DISCOURSE around a film and think you don’t actually need to see the movie yourself. To think picking up “the vibe” is enough of a replacement for direct experience.
To know the truth, you must see Goncharov yourself. Until then, everything is shadows against the cave wall.

Jordan Peterson: you see... this something the cultural marxists want to hide from you... *starts getting teary eyed* I mean, just imagine being a part of a roving Indoeuropean war gang 8000 years ago... the steppe calls to you through the western spirit of individualism... you ride your mare wife as you "mount" your she-wolf cousin... that's the beauty of the nomad archetype, isn't it? The freedom, the freedom that has since been lost to woke moralism and cancel culture... *starts pathetically whimpering* they don't sleep on the steppe anymore...
Slavoj zizek: *wipes nose* you see, with ideology, it is a shit fuck pile of garbage. The big other doea not *coughs* want *sniffs nose* you to fuck your sister, fuck your mother, fuck your little brother, so on and so on. *wipea nose again* and so, in this quite deleuzian manner, you start to draw furry pornography depicting incest between children and adults, children and children, children and ferals, until *sniffs nose again* the big other notices and calls cancel culture down upon you

I don't always agree with Zizek but what he says often resonates with me and even if I disagree, it's in a way that's super fruitful, I disagree in a way that makes me want to aay more. He is truly one of my favorite philosophers.
He is also one of the most hilarious fucking people on earth. And he's not trying to be. He is just so ridiculous that he was a meme at one point. Name another currently living philosopher that is hilarious enough to be a meme.

What the melancholic subject misperceives in her attachment to the lost object is that the object in itself, objet a, was always-already lost.

Neon Genesis Evangelion, it's one of those nice, slice-of-life japanese animes where you have predatory relationships, which is portrayed as a nice secret between guardian and child - I like this.

The two levels of volunteering (which are simultaneously two levels of servitude volontaire) are different, not only with regard to the context of servitude (to market mechanisms, to an emancipatory cause); their very form is different.
In capitalist servitude we simply feel free, while in authentic liberation we accept voluntary servitude as serving a Cause and not just ourselves.
In today’s cynical functioning of capitalism, I know very well what I am doing and continue to do it, the liberating aspect of my knowledge is suspended, while in the authentic dialectics of liberation my awareness of my situation is already the first step towards liberation.
In capitalism I am enslaved precisely when I ‘feel free’: this feeling is the very form of my servitude, while in an emancipatory process I am free when I ‘feel like a slave’ – that is to say, the feeling of being enslaved already bears witness to the fact that, in the core of my subjectivity, I am free; only when my position of enunciation is that of a free subject can I experience my servitude as an abomination.
Thus we have here two versions of the Möbius strip reversal: if we follow capitalist freedom to the end it turns into the very form of servitude, and if we want to break away from capitalist servitude volontaire our assertion of freedom again has to assume the form of its opposite, of voluntarily serving a Cause.
