Book: Against the Double Blackmail: Refugees, Terror and Other Troubles with the Neighbours
Quotes of Book: Against the Double Blackmail:

Slavoj Žižek _ Against the Double Blackmail:
The primary vice of a bad person is precisely that he is more preoccupied with others than himself. Rousseau is describing a precise libidinal mechanism: the inversion which generates the shift of the libidinal investment from the object to the obstacle itself. This could well be applied to fundamentalist violence - be it Oklahoma City Federal Building, the Twin Towers - was what really mattered, not achieving the noble goal of a truly Christian or Muslim society.
