Didn’t know too much about Zizek before his debate with Jordan Peterson, and when the debate happened I immediately already saw him as somebody to disregard because I knew that big mainstream media would never permit somebody that based into their spotlight.
zizek is not based, he’s a western marxist in what i understand to be the 2nd international/frankfurt school tradition: academic, culture-focused and no organizing or action. that debate was incredibly frustrating too. peterson read the cliffs notes for the communist manifesto 2 years ago and pretends he has any idea what he’s talking about, and then zizek goes “yes well actually i think we have a lot in common, cancelling is bad” lol wtf
