His documentaries from the past are valuable and have no issues. I consider him fine upto the Zizek-Peterson debate. With the Ukraine conflict he picked the wrong side, and I do not like him from that point onwards. Funnily, I was one of the first persons on grad who pointed it out for discussion.

That’s when you noticed the guy was fucked up. He’s been spouting shit long before you noticed that “oh this guy actually sucks” It would be like if you said “oh no Vaush used to be good until he started NATO simping” my brother he was always a pedo-nazi you just didn’t see it because he was saying shit you agreed with. How much you agree with someone is the single worst metric you can use for trustworthiness.
It was just not me though. Plenty socialists have liked his old documentaries. And they are a good way to convey ideas. Infact, Bayarea on r/sino praised his work and said Zizek’s works were one of the things that sparked his brain, arguably the best socialist tuber we ever had. And Bayarea’s recommendation was what led me to check Zizek’s works.
I recommend you check Bayarea’s archived videos, many of them are on Hopper Marxist on YouTube, to know his level. Bayarea and Hakim were more or less equal, Bayarea a bit more popular and based (dunked on BadEmpanada and Vaush a lot), until he was doxxed last year and went private.
Uh huh… Don’t take this the wrong way but I’m not going to trust a zeizek offshoot over “had some bad takes” that sounds like your average cryptofash wrecker shit. Sorry, burnt hard by the la rouchites, learned not to pick any side in drama that isn’t the material facts.
Bayarea is not Zizek offshoot. It is like saying Einstein is the CEO of evil because he provided the “E=mc²” formula which created atom bombs. Zizek is not some Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton or Epstein or Ghislaine.
Zizek’s past documentaries are objectively good regardless of his current geopolitical leaning, and its not like he committed terrorism or did bad things to children.

I don’t know what to say. Good for you that you got something positive out of it, but who knows what kind of damage they’ve done as well.

Sometimes he had bad political takes in leftist circle.
