All of Žižek's Philosophy
Philip Morris ran anti-smoking ads for four years, everyone knew who was paying, and the teenagers who saw them most smoked more. That breaks the belief sitting under every expose you have ever forwarded, which is that people take part because they do not know. Slavoj Žižek's answer is that the distance you keep from what you are doing is not the beginning of an exit but the wage that gets you to show up again tomorrow. Two hours on the Nike audit that changed nothing, the patent on the slot machine near miss, a national police survey where two thirds say the officer who reports misconduct gets the cold shoulder, and the consent pop-up where warnings moved nothing and moving one button moved everything. Every proposed way out is scored against the record, including the Milgram archive evidence that this whole diagnosis is describing the wrong century.
