They can't be in the same room because they're the same person

It would be like the Harris exchange but lasting at least two centuries.

There would have almost nothing in common but Zizek would eventually concede some ground because of his eastern european good manners

Which one has the most succulent manhood

I never even finished the Harris exchange

They got to the part about truth and I BTFO after ten minutes, apparently I didn't miss much

Never bothered with their second exchange, is it worth listening to or is it more getting muddled down into the aether of verbal exchange?

Neither of them like coercive political correctness - they'd get on better than you think. Classical Marxism has little to do with the pink-hair bridages and grievance-mongers at American colleges

that is a very nice cat

Zizek would say that Jungian psychoanalysis is new age nonsense. Peterson would respond by saying Lacan is pomo nonsense.

It wouldn't go anywhere.

>Classical Marxism has little to do with the pink-hair bridages and grievance-mongers at American colleges

but one could argue that it will invariably lead to such a state of affairs, especially if those whom espouse it are primarily bourgeoisie

We will never know, considering that Zizek is no longer with us

The Marxist argument is that the only divide in society is class, and that all other divides (gender, race, religion etc) are 'false consciousness' that divides the proletariat and stops them from improving their lot.

So the deranged identity politics of the left is not 'culturally Marxist' - it certainly is an aspect of leftist thought (universalism and egalitarianism), but it is mutually exclusive with a Marxist class analysis of society.

>zizek: we need revolution through action, not just superficially virtuous protest

Zizek would never say this, he actively discourages action

Zizek unironically hates Marxists more than Peterson

i have literally heard him say the opposite in a video once

Man, I was really excited for a moment.

Marxism is strictly militant for it's isolation of "Class" as an economic and not sociological or as a social pathology rooted in a necessity for development, that's why there is an Economic Path to Das Kapital, nothing else and otherwise, but the likened abstract of anyone that knows Marxism is that the utilitarian abstract of the political philosophy is kind to humanity, which virtue dictates virtuous.

Leave poetry to the rest of us.

they would fist eachother

JP would BTFO out of zizek for being a filthy post modernist.

>basically jung v lacan

I have to agree with you there - Zizek's claim that you can find common ground through the sharing of dirty jokes doesn't really gel with American politics on either side.

>BTFO out of
where can I learn to write like this?

>not being consistent
>blow BTFO out
eye twitching

>not blow the btbfo fuck out

>the my "mfw" tfw when all these (u)'s

They would have homosexual intercouse

it's essentially the evolution of marxism at this point. consider who the core influences were on the original post-modernists; Hicks is right when he says that identity politics are just a shift from class to identity and it's easily identifiable how it is 'culturally marxist' as you put it. it certainly doesn't have a whole lot to do with economics but it is absolutely about separating gender, race and sexual orientation into a perceived hierarchical structure of class and pitting them against each other through class conflict in order to flatten the hierarchy. the only difference is the semantics in that rather than say bourgeois they say privileged and rather than say alienation they say oppression. Oh, and look how other marxist groups like antifa use it to push their agenda, they've integrated identity politics into the marxist doctrine perfectly

>the most popular philosophers in 2017 are a muddle-headed fat violent Marxist-Hegelian and a Jungian crypto-Christian who cries on his YouTube videos and "analyzes" Pepe

And yet there was a time when Hume was a bestseller. What changed?

letting posers buy books was a mistake

zizek is against postmodenrism though

peterson doesn't seem like the kind of guy to tell dirty jokes, though he can certainly enjoy them

he's openly christian

they fundamentally disagree on the nature of ideology. it would just be zizek explaining to peterson how peterson is also pure ideology

>he actively discourages action
wut?

I wonder if Peterson is at all aware of how the cult of individual achievement and refusal of collective political action is an ideological propagation method for capitalism, or if he just doesn't care.

He thinks it isn't because Hero's Journey and Archetypes.

He did say Lauren Southern was "well-built" once.
And immediately apologized for using the expression.
I think that's as dirty as he gets.

Explain how individual achievement is a cult because as of right now it literally sounds like a contradiction.

actually the biggest thing they'd disagree on is pornography

second was much better

"cultural marxism" is neo-marxism
people like Gramsci believed they could bring down capitalistic structures by subverting the cultural norms and the media; breakdown of class divides would follow

Not that guy but I have seen zizek in a video talking about how we need more thinking and less action or something along those lines while he was raving on like he does. I have frequently have seem him criticized here as going on as he does(in a way that is you know could be called radical) then finally advocating for just sitting around doing absolutely nothing.
