    A position further solidified by how often he plagiarizes himself. Literally if you’ve read one Zizek book, you’ve read parts of others already.

    • It’s the same jokes 400 times for sure. And the ideas are also rarely different. To be fair to him though, he admits as much openly saying “ive written the same book 30 times to get my point across” or something similar

        • I read the description of it when I was reading a couple other of his and convinced myself it was very much a repeat/expansion of the same idea. My first of his was about Schelling called “The Indivisible Remainder” and those two seem identical to me in content, except the form is an approach from 2 different philosophers to get to Zizeks ideas.
