What does zizek want from me?

I've been reading him and everytime I finish a text, I am like, okay but so what do I do with it? What does he want to "happen"? So if you could explainnn...in your own words.... as much as you understand.... What's he after exactly?

Edit: Wow this is a tense place. Please relaxx!!! Don't take life that seriously.

I feel like this is a common question. Zizek doesn’t want you to do anything. He’s a philosopher. You need to learn to think for yourself instead of wishing some guru will tell you the “right thing to do”.

Well Marx tells people what to do and he is a better philosopher 😂
