Simplicius’ weird and chud media criticism / right wing media conspiracy blog started with a quote of Zizek

“Beyond the fiction of reality, there is the reality of the fiction.” — Slavoj Zizek

Two thoughts:

  1. That’s a really good quote. Fucking Zizek is a fraud but his wordplay slaps
  2. The transition of Zizek from a leftist Jordan Peterson to a regular Jordan Peterson continues as the conspiracist anti-globalist right continue to embrace him, although oddly at the moment when Zizek is taking firmly “globalist agenda” pro-imperialist stances.

I remember calling someone a white supremacist for saying native Australians were not genocided but were instead “outcompeted” by Anglo’s and man, that website is as right wing as Hitler - don’t forget it. They banned me for that. All mods are cops and all admins are compradors.

Listening to Mearsheimer is so weird. It’s pure historical materialism that walks straight up to the point of being Marxism, but then he takes a turn and says “…and this is why we must focus on containing China to maintain the US empire, because that’s what it is it’s an empire.”

But there was a photo of the Uyghur genocide.

Sure, it was in Brazil and a photo of a Brazilian jail, but we were definitely told it was Uyghur genocide.

And you’re also forgetting those satellite images of warehouses in Xinjiang. How do you explain that if not genocide?

The Israeli swastika is anti-clockwise not clockwise and the arm band is vermillion not red how dare you make that anti-Semitic comparison.

With the cacophony of tormented wails of people forced to take Ubers out of fear that something might happen, you can barely hear the Palestinian children under the rubble of their homes.

Their demand is divestment?

The school sent in snipers because they would have to reallocate some investments?
