Summary

Fiel a su estilo irónico y mordaz, Žižek recorre, en esta serie de textos políticos, los cimientos de las civilizaciones occidentales modernas. Spoiler alert: la conclusión es cínica. ¿Qué es lo que hace que la realidad sea soportable y podamos enfrentarla? "Lo siento, pero la hipocresía es la base de la civilización. Los rituales y las apariencias sí importan. Si abandonamos las apariencias y enfrentamos la realidad, esta suele ser bastante horrible".

Si tuviera que imaginar la religión ideal para el capitalismo global, sería la que de manera irónica llamo budismo occidental. La lección básica es que no debemos involucrarnos en la realidad social por completo, que debemos aprender a refugiarnos en la paz interior. Ni siquiera intentemos comprender lo que sucede, solo resignémonos. Se trata de una espiritualidad vacía en el sentido de que no nos exhorta a cambiar nada. La estrella de Hollywood más decadente puede tener esta religión como simple fetiche.
