Zizek talks about this in contrasting the '08 financial crisis with the world food crisis.  when the banks collapsed, the state apparatus was thrust into action immediately, no questions asked.  the scale of the crisis was "absolute".  meanwhile a billion or two can be without food or water but no action is taken or needed.

the environmental crisis throws a bit of a wrench in this but for now the logic still holds: 'other people' are future generations.

Gustaf then enters and jerks himself off in a most predictable and, well, masturbatory fashion, and leaves in the famed post-orgasmic afterglow.

That's nice and offensive and all, but since I know I can actually win on substance (since I actually  care about people in the real world, rather than my image as a cool revolutionary) that's fine. I'm going to leave you to your insane rantings if it makes you feel better about having stupid opinions.

You two don't get along, do you?

we're Facebook friends.  what more of a bond could two men have?
