/lit/ - Literature

>X is art
>Y is literature
Okay, fine. But is it good? The whole X/Y is art/literature thing seems to be working under the assumption that there is no measure of quality beyond being or not being art. It's an art student's idea of how to dodge criticism.

The whole event was a waste of time. It was really only ever going to go one of two ways:
>1. They actually talk about Marxism in relation to the alleged subject and Zizeck doesn't have a leg to stand on.
>2. Zizeck doesn't actually talk about Marxism in relation to the alleged subject and they have virtually nothing to disagree over.
We got the latter. Zizeck didn't even really have anything to say about Marxism, he just cautioned against letting the defects of capitalism go rampant, which are things basically everybody (Peterson included) are already aware of and trying to figure out solutions to.
I like both of these men, but the whole culture surrounding pop intellectual figures is insufferable and this feels like its peak. There's already a fuckton of clips from the discussion like in >>13009131. Pseud fanboys take moments where literally nothing happens and spin it as GOOD MAN DESTROYS BAD MAN 2019 [DVD RIP], which is extra pathetic since I can't actually think of a single clash they had actually over the entire runtime. Most of the time they're having completely different discussions.
