The Jordan Peterson Thread

I guess he gets to write his own headlines.

I can't even hateread it, it's so clumsy right out of the gate

the Burger King video should be pinned somewhere, at the top of this thread or maybe even on the ilx front-page. it's a work of genius

Jordan Peterson Announces Debate with Slavoj Zizek:

finally

the content we deserve

For some reason all I can picture is it looking like this scene. (NSFW)

lmao

No way that debate happens. Either JBP chickens out or Slavoj is too ill to travel.

or the debate goes ahead and they end up agreeing on the perniciousness of political correctness

It'll be awful if it happens - they don't actually have anything to say to each other.

They’re opposites. Zizek thinks in paradoxes. Peterson is extremely literal minded.

richard wolff has offered to debate peterson before, to no avail as yet, which would be a much more interesting proposition imo

this has more symmetry tho. woo-woo public intellectuals of the right and left

I was trying to explain Jordan Peterson and his meat diet to someone earlier today and I called him "Gwyneth Paltrow but for incels" and I feel like I've cracked a code

He and Slavoj Zizek are going to debate or something. They deserve each other.

what is he the gwyneth paltrow of

or the something of for incels, take your pick

not the biggest zizek fan but they're hardly comparable offenders AFAICT

I like zizek

Gwyneth > Zizek > JP

Goes without saying. But zizek is still good too.

Gwynneth Paltrow’s pretty bad idk

i like zizek quite a bit but he probably does deserve to be in a debate with jordan peterson

So You Want to Be a Public Intellectual

that rewtweeted junk where Peterson’s daughter is helping shill their lifestyle by posting a bikini pic with the “wow eating all red meat killed my health, dad!” caption is waiting to be adapted into a family horror movie

it's very scary

I don't know Dad. It's been 14 months and I think I'm starting to see the scurvy and vitamin deficiencies creep in... @TheAtlantic pic.twitter.com/GMw6v6kwPh

anyone willingly reading about JP deserves this exchange

there’s this weird fake conversational thing where she made a post, he responds with “you should explain” and she did that

it’s indistinguishable from informercial dialogue where they’re about to tell you what to buy

Mikhaila Peterson is the Jordan Peterson of Gwyneth Paltrow

Just me and Gwyneth. Spreading fake news everywhere! https://t.co/hT00uwWIo4 via @MailOnline

The stench of her toilet must be unbelievable

Getting colon cancer to own the left

So psyched for this debate

Zizek will be a discursive mess and Peterson will be self righteous but stick to the talking points

but I hope he can properly flummox JP

maybe they will eat each other like in that svankmajer film

I can’t believe they already made a statue to commemorate Peterson vs. Zizek pic.twitter.com/jgbsaDYEkN

Would prefer this to be a bare-knuckle bout tbh

hugely otm

foxy boxing or gtfo

If people switched to an all beef diet in any kind of numbers, the environmental impact would be absurd.

Like the end of the world

oh my god zizek would destroy him in a brawl, I just know it

Zizek is like 20 years older

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w8_PvFOEvg

zizek has that drunken bulky flopsweat vibe, definitely a brawler

Inuit diet >>>>> JP's diet.

I think JP vs. Zizek is a fair fight but JP would probably win. he's younger, he's "healthier" (I guess), and more than Zizek, he would REALLY want to win. he'd train. Zizek would forget about it until the day before

now, if Zizek can get a sucker punch in, or initiate a spontaneous brawl, he could absolutely fuck JP up animal style

there's gotta be no way Zizek is "healthy" in any way recognized by science

can totally see JP rolling up his shirt sleeves and adopting that 19th century dukes up stance
