>The Rumble in the Realm of the Mind — Jordan Peterson vs. Slavoj Zizek — is coming to Toronto, as the two professors will debate “Happiness: Capitalism vs. Marxism” on April 19 at the Sony Centre.
>Live Nation announced Thursday that tickets will go on sale March 1 for the clash between Peterson — the bestselling University of Toronto clinical psychologist still speaking to packed houses around the globe — and Zizek, a Slovenian Hegelian-Marxist critical theorist with a cult following of his own going back decades. The meeting apparently flows out of Zizek reportedly describing Peterson as his “enemy” last year at England’s Cambridge Union. Peterson responded feistily on Twitter by saying “Any time, any place, Mr. Zizek.”
It'll be a shitshow where they agree on 80% of everything, and ignore the remaining 20% that matter.

Jaxon Perry
He’s said: Children act like a kind of substitute god figure we perform morality to (true, particularly in a post-Christian context [used to be moral for baby Jesus, now moral for woke 8 year olds]) Meaningful freedom is the freedom to do what you must (eg freedom for love) (could easily be extended to freedom of open discourse)
He also defended Angela Nagle and was against depicting refugees as angels rather than as flawed people
Prolly more based than first glance
Also said that antisemitism is pathological even if all the things about Jews are true (which is silly, but he acknowledges implicitly that everything said about them /is/ true)
>Peterson: You see mr. Zizek *squeel* post-modern neo-marxism has done -TREMENDOUS- damage to the western social fabric and I think..................... *voice crack* I think it has the proclivity to do more BAD.THINGS. I really do *high pitch end to sentence* >Zizek: Ah Yes I agee *sniff* very much so but again *gulp* the qvueshtion is NOT that *sniff* western liberal capitalist society fostering these eedeeyologies is bad thing and so on, the qvueshtion is preesizely *wipes nose* WHY these eedeeyologies propagate, THAT is the bayzic qvueshtion and here I repeat the old Lacanian joke of the anti-semitic jew working for the Nazis during the holocaust
