      Reminds me of a youtube short about the time a woman accidentally crashed her car into Stalin’s and how his unexpected reaction was, of course, not to execute the woman on the spot, but to more or less shrug it off and laugh about it. Pretty undeniably sympathetic reaction, right?

      Well, one Youtube commenter took this from it:

      “This is almost scarier than if he had just killed the woman because it makes him uNpRedIcTaBlE.”

      Through the magic of zizek-preference pure ideology, you too can make the most normal, human things seem nefarious and machiavellian.
