Slavoj Zizek Quotes

There Is A Multitude Of Forms Of This Appearing Of Un-freedom In The Guise Of Its Opposite: In Being Deprived Of Universal Healthcare, We Are Told That We Are Being Given A New Freedom Of Choice (to Choose Our Healthcare Provider); When We Can No Longer Rely On Long-term Employment And Are Compelled To Search For A New Precarious Job Every Couple Of Years, We Are Told That We Are Being Given The Opportunity To Reinvent Ourselves And Discover Our Creative Potential; When We Have To Pay For The Education Of Our Children, We Are Told That We Are Now Able To Become "entrepreneurs Of The Self," Acting Like A Capitalist Freely Choosing How To Invest The Resources He Possesses (or Has Borrowed). In Education, Health, Travel We Are Constantly Bombarded By Imposed "free Choices"; Forced To Make Decisions For Which We Are Mostly Not Qualified (or Do Not Possess Enough Information), We Increasingly Experience Our Freedom As A Burden That Causes Unbearable Anxiety.
