To paraphrase Sartre, all that matters is the choice.
Choose.
Choose.
for some time now zizek is in his era where he tells interviewers etc your mindset should be total worst course of events for the world while assuming your collective effort will yield absolute victory over it hence why you must accept the need to act
There’s a specific type of liberal sentiment, and it is liberal, that to have the optimism to acknowledge reality is, in of itself, a form of dooming.
That by being sufficiently optimistic about the ultimate outcome that you dare acknowledge the severity of the now is a form of nihilism.
