Slavoj Žižek (2015) "The Need To Censor Our Dreams"

pulled, torn and -pressed

i believe people have the right to choose what they want to believe in
but i find faith in the unprovable a ridiculous idea - and this is what i choose to believe in
- so am i a hypocrite

i believe in the freedom of speech, of expression and of press
but i find insults, like against particular culture, religion, race, or sex horrendous
- so am i a hypocrite
well
is abuse of such freedom a thing?
is protest against the abuse of such freedom a form of abuse per se? what is behind it if any?
charlie, amos, wutwingyin. three cases of je suis - do i have a different take on them and does it depend on their respective opinions?

is it a performativity thing in the way that actions count, meaning
- somebody who claims to kill is alright
- but somebody who actually attempts to kill should face jury?
- what about performative speech acts?
does it depend on the intention and/or the extent such harmful intention be materialized? or the potential the intention be materialized (through speech?), or the speech act be performative?
who can say anything about intention and potentiality
and when there is likely to be discrepancies between the 'materialization' and the intention (if intention would remain pure (which is unlikely), how should the ruler be made?

i think it's an example but my head is messed so am not sure -
- does a muslim woman get to choose whether to wear a hijab or not?
- what does it make a state to decide it should be worn or forbidden?
- does a niqab make any difference?

or does the actor matter
- meaning a 3 year-old and a 30 year-old are measured differently. what about 18 or 21 year-olds?
- or in terms of political power? a politician and a student should be measured differently.
- what is behind political power? what is behind politics, money?

haha i doubt i can ever figure out and per whatever temporary conclusion i derive how to posit myself
