So when I say something like that, its a "ploy to divert attention" but when Zizek says something like that its fair criticism. Hah! Now there is this bit about "foreign manipulation". Again you could quote me on something I actually said, where I said, the revolt was primarily instigated by the west. Where do you read me saying that? Nowhere. It is a fabrication. In fact, I said the opposite, several times, noting above, for example:

Quote:
The Twitter story was quite well evidenced, and there do seem to have been some Twitter feeds that originated with the Jerusalem Post, not that makes much difference, since I doubt "twitter" had much to do with anything, other than serving as a cute byline for the western press. In that sense it may have helped shape views here, more than it did in Iran.

But no, as you recently opined, my real aim is supporting "dictatorial regimes... whether you admit that's what youre doing or not". What you are really saying is that my failure to align myself along the ideological spectrum of right and wrong, as you concieve of it, is tantamount to being "with the terrorists". Zizek can get away with it, apparently, even though he really was a member of the communist party, an alignment you have suggested charachterizes my view "objectively", on more than one occassion.
