I don't think there's separating politics and christianity for Zizek anyway. I just want someone who understands psychoanalysis to explain why Jung was a clown.
HAPPENING! PETERSON SAYS HE WOULD DEBATE ZIZEK
It did fail on multiple occasions. The USSR and friends made many great achievements but ultimately they succumbed to capitalist restoration. Characterizing that as anything other than a failure in the grand scheme of things is pure delusion.
It was the Trilateral Commission, I remembered it not long after I posted, apparently he not only was a speaker but he was allegedly "wined & dined" so he certainly mingled beyond his timeslot. A lot of the far-right has actually been the group to pick up on this, unsurprising I guess since they have their Globalism Boogeyman, which to be fair, in this case isn't /wrong/, just a misdiagnosis of what the political power players of Capital get up to. What you're saying is all true; that's exactly why they're interested in him as a mouthpiece, he's absolutely a shill, you can look into which agency represents him and the various moves & PR stunts he's pulled with them and who else they represent (some of it's even in this thread). I don't think Peterson has a single problem with being bought off because his entire Patreonbux model is based on him doing something that likely already requires him to compromise his beliefs, why deal with smaller Patrons when you can have a few rich ones and see more success as a result?
you are right, autocorrect on mobile tricked me here in making me mistake one for the other, apologies
but then, there have to be more people in contempt for the system rather than being content
Zizek will throw Peterson off by telling off colour jokes, like the one about the African with the prehensile penis.
Political dialogue is a quagmire of bullshit because that's what it is intended to be. It's been sabotaged deliberately by the ruling class through think tanks, TV news, and so on. If you refuse to talk seriously and just shout at people you disagree with, you can keep them from having a serious argument too. Both sides have to agree to be serious.
(checked)
Why, yes. Peterson does seem to take his appearances very seriously, while Big Z likes to put in humorous anecdotes and jokes. Naturally a debate or some other lecture tends to be a more serious environment, but Zizek appears to have a less assburger more chill, viewer-friendly and reasonable approach, from what little I've seen.

Kermit isn't an assburger. He comes off that way because he's being dishonest and the mental resources that goomg toward social awareness are fully occupied with keeping the lies straight. Same shit you typically see with bad liars.
