I can't fucking stand Slavov Zizek

[Joseph Tracy]

He has never said anything worth thinking about or remembering when I have heard him. So bad that I assumed his writing was better than his yap. He also has disgusting habits like he drank too much coffee and can't stop picking at his shirt and twitching. Is he a Euro thing?  Is there something he has written that is actually substantive?
