I think it's pretty obvious that this just happened to be a subject that the author wasn't willing to read in the same mood and spirit they read other Žižek pieces. Or possibly that it's all fun and games reading Žižek playfully and in good faith when he agrees with you, but fuck that when doesn't.

I don't agree with the Žižek's article in question, but I also don't agree with much that Žižek writes, so it's amusing to read from a sycophant that \ Žižek lost the plot because in a single essay he disagrees with them.

Yet another reminder that everyone is willing to be intellectual and openminded until you disagree with them about something they've made integral to their self-worth, and in our era that's increasingly the political tribe you belong to. Žižek can be more progressive than 95% of the population, but if he disavows one of the progressive doctrines then he's still reprobate in that group's view.
