In this excerpt from a talk and Q&A given at the Institute for the Radical Imagination on 08/10/2019 titled 'For a Left that Dares to Speak its Name', Zizek discusses and links together several topics, such as the Black Lives Matter movement, the 'All Lives Matter' response to it, identity politics, subjectivity and universalism, why white liberals are attracted to identity politics in general and the meaning of the '+' in LGBTQ+.

Brendan O’Neill has criticised police officers for taking a knee in support of ‘Black Lives Matter’ protests.

Speaking to talkRADIO’s Mike Graham, the Spiked Online editor suggested officers authority had all but gone.

“I thought it was such a fascinating and disturbing spectacle of where the state’s authority is at right now,” he said

Thousands of Brits have taken part in anti-racism demonstrations following the death of George Floyd, despite lockdown restrictions still prohibiting gatherings of more than six people.

Boris Johnson has said that he respects people’s right to peacefully protest but has urged campaigners to maintain social distancing rules.

Mr O’Neill also claimed that whiteness was being treated as “some kind of moral disease”, adding: “Guilt-ridden white liberals love Black Lives Matter.”

“The speed with which the media went from frothing and raging over Dominic Cummings’ trip to Durham, to then cheering on - or at least not criticising - these people where it is far more than a gathering of six, it’s like a pathological form of hypocrisy,” he said.

State leaders and health experts are at odds as they prepare for tens of thousands of people to take part in Black Lives Matter protests across the weekend.

New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian has given the greenlight to protesters joining the Black Lives Matter movement, despite stark warnings from health officials it could facilitate a second coronavirus wave.

Despite COVID-19 rules limiting public gatherings to just 10 people, tens of thousands are expected to flout restrictions and converge on Sydney’s CBD on Saturday.

Premier Berejiklian urged protesters to maintain their distance from one another but infectious disease experts said this would likely be impossible at a rally, and therefore “absolutely” be a health risk.

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has encouraged people to remain at home on Saturday, gaining the support of his state’s Chief Health Officer.

“Now is not the time for thousands of people to gather together, putting your and others’ health at risk,” Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton said.

While urging people to stay home, Premier Andrews said protesters would not be fined for flouting coronavirus restrictions while at demonstrations as it could only “inflame” the situation.

New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian has moved to ban Sydney's Black Lives Matter protest saying she would never "green light" thousands of activists flouting coronavirus restrictions.

Ms Berejiklian said she instructed Chief Police Commissioner Mick Fuller to make a submission to the Supreme Court to place an injunction against Black Lives Matter solidarity protests scheduled to go ahead on Saturday.

"The number of protesters far exceeds the health orders and we can't afford to have exceptions for anybody," she said.

"If people had been able to express their view in a COVID-safe way, that would have been acceptable but that is not the case."

The Premier appealed to NSW residents not to compromise the health of others, urging those who "feel strongly" about an issue to "consider other ways" of expression.
