>Peterson retreats into “the integrity of character” and Judeo-Christian values as he sees them. Žižek is more or less a Gen X nostalgia act at this point, a living memento from a time when you would sit around the college bar and regale your fellow students about the time you saw that eastern European prof eating a couple of hot dogs in the street.
>Unfortunately, this brief moment of confrontation of their shared failure couldn’t last. They returned to their natural subject: who is the enemy? Žižek asked what Peterson meant by cultural Marxists when postmodern thinkers, like Foucault, weren’t Marxist at all. Peterson was an expert on this subject, at least. He gave a minor history of the French critical theorists who transposed categories of class oppression for group oppression in the 1960s.

No, he didn't, he looked up a few of the rules for life on google or some shit and saw that Peterson was complaining about bloody neomarxists. He then demanded names, was told 1/4 of professors meet the description, and then kept demanding names anyway.

The whole thing was boring. Zizek won, but I don't applaud him for it because he's the reason the debate was neutered in the first place and then when he saw that Peterson was unprepared he gave up his old pretense of "this is only a discussion" and went after him. The real take away is that you can't expect anything from two academics but a coward and a conman

No, you retard. Of course deeming your group the 'good' and the opposition 'evil' in a political conflict is a very useful political tool. But that's all it is, a political tool. In reality the poor are just as responsible for riches as the rich are for poverty.

>"Marx thought the proletariat was good and the bourgeoisie was evil"
How can the guardian report this as a quote? This is the actual quote
>"You have a binary class division, proletariat/bourgeois, and you have an implicit idea that all of the good is on the side of the proletariat and all of the evil is on the side on the bourgeois, and that’s classic group identity thinking."

The next point, that Peterson claimed human hierarchies are not determined by power is even less true. What Peterson actually said was power isn't the only basis of hierarchies and that hierarchies formed through exploitation are unstable.

It then goes on to completely misrepresent Zizek by claimed he said
>“Most of the attacks on me are from left-liberals,” he began, hoping that “they would be turning in their graves even if they were still alive”
These things were said far apart and the second quote is incredibly misleading and taken completely out of context.

Materialism doesn't just preclude you from making moralistic judgements, they're just framed differently. Human beings view things in a moralistic frame, which doesn't necessarily constitute good and evil but it always is constituted by a framework of moral failings and moral hierarchy of some sort.

alright listen man. I legit drove to Toronto and watched the debate in person. Zizek roasted his take of Dostoevsky, criticized his reasoning of natural hierarchies, directly questioned his claim that marx was an egalitarian and asked why he hasn't read Gotha Program, asked him to name and explain postmodern neomarxism, he argued against "setting your own house in order..." I mean Jordan Peterson didn't even criticize anything Zizek said, he misunderstood basic marxist terminology like "dictatorship of the proletariat" and accused marx of a moralized political economy which he outwardly rejects in all of his works. Did you even watch the debate?

I get that people like to suck Peterson's dick but like take the L. He was ill-prepared and got caught of guard completely by an actual good faith marxist. I expected Zizek to eat shit but he dominated not only the entire discussion but the crowd too. Peterson looked baffled for much of the discussion. It was frankly embarrassing and I don't mean that in a malicious way.
