So, after reading Yervant's post on a couple days ago, we ended up getting into a discussion about national ideologies. Though I'd never sensed the "lack of ambition" Canadian ideology that Yervant goes into(which I suppose makes sense, because if it is a present ideology, I would have taken it entirely for granted and never acknowledged its influence over my behavior), I thought Zizek, using the lovely examples of toilets and defecation, points to a similar point- our most minor behavior is reflective of ideology central to national identity.
