Lacan Sucks and So Do You: A Friendly Guide to Language, Desire, and Political Helplessness

What if your political identity, your core beliefs, and even your taste in snack food weren’t really yours? What if they were built out of language, hijacked by desire, and quietly manipulated by slogans, myths, and a Symbolic Order you didn’t ask to be born into?

Welcome to the world of Jacques Lacan, where nothing means what it seems, and everything is your unconscious acting out.

Lacan Sucks is your brutally sarcastic, surprisingly accurate guide to Lacan’s theory of language, power, and why you keep voting against your own interests. From signifiers that never shut up to unconscious desires that vote without you, this book breaks down how politics doesn’t just use language—it is language.

Through roast-level commentary, existential side-eye, and actual philosophical insight (yes, really), this book unpacks:

How language doesn’t reflect reality—it constructs it

Why you’re not an individual, you’re a pre-written script with anxiety

How politicians weaponize your desires with slogans and symbols

What the hell Lacan meant by “the unconscious is structured like a language”

And how to fight back using the one weapon they fear: your own damn voice

If you’ve ever felt manipulated by political discourse, confused by your own identity, or just wanted to scream into a pillow while reading Écrits, this is the book for you.

No degree in psychoanalysis or philosophy required. Just a sense of humor and a lingering suspicion that reality might be rigged.
