What does he say? I can't be bothered to use tiktok.

On Zizek as a whole, I distinctly remember somebody asking him something about Kosovo, when there were talks that it was gonna be partitioned once and for all. He says that he supports it, in that Kosovo gives Serbia the obviously serbian parts, which is common sense. But then, for a guy living in the balkans, he says something unimaginably stupid and pretty much racist. He thinks that kosovo should get a part of Sandzak (which is a province of Serbia containing a majority Bosniak population), as if he cannot imagine that maybe Bosniaks are satisfied with the way things are right now, as opposed to living in a country where their language (and consequently the language of the majority of South Slavs) is actively being suppressed. As if that would be good thing simply pertaining to the fact that they share a religion with the Albanians of kosovo. Also the notion that Serbia should give something up to make it fair, as if simply recognizing the territory which was illegally taken from it isn't enough. If this is how informed he is on the region he hails from, you can imagine the credibility of his opinions in regards to foreign policy in general.
