altho i just thought it would be funny if he did; Peterson believes in the "marx kill millions" idea so with that logic he kill 50.

OP/ED

Work of the Past, Work of the Future
Labour markets in US cities today are vastly more educated and skill-intensive than they were 50 years ago, but urban non-college workers now perform much less skilled work than they did. This column shows that automation and international trade have eliminated many of the mid-skilled non-college jobs that were disproportionately based in cities. This has contributed to a secular fall in real non-college wages.In the last 40 years, less-educated workers in most advanced economies have experienced a sustained fall in real wages. (Dustmann et al. 2009, Acemoglu and Autor 2011, Blundell et al. 2018). In the US, for example, wages have risen robustly among the most-educated workers, but since 1980 they have fallen in real terms among men with no college education (Figure 1).

Welcome to hell: The Peruvian mining city of La Rinconada
While the West attacks Venezuela, a country that improved the lives of many of its citizens, it overlooks horrors that are taking place in Peru and other ‘pro-market’ countries in Latin America.La Rinconada, which lies at over 5km above sea level, is the highest settlement in the world; a gold mining town, a concentration of misery, a community of about 50,000 inhabitants, many of whom have been poisoned by mercury. A place where countless women and children get regularly raped, where law and order collapsed quite some time ago, where young girls are sent to garbage dumps in order to ‘recycle’ terribly smelling waste, and where almost all the men work in beastly conditions, trying to save at least some money, but where most of them simply ruin their health, barely managing to stay alive.

Spectacular Violence as a Weapon of War Against the Yellow Vests
Violence is a spectacular weapon deployed by the ruling class to discredit movements from below and justify their repression. It is spectacular in the sense of being a great and powerful political tool for governing the masses, and keeping them in their place. In order to do this, however, the weapon of violence is spectacularin a second sense: it creates a carefully orchestrated mise en scène that seeks to render ruling class violence invisible, while simultaneously transforming acts of resistance into prodigious spectacles of criminal violence.This is how Act 18 of the Yellow Vests is currently being presented by the mass media: at the precise moment at which the government was concluding its democratic consultation of the people via Emmanuel Macron’s “Grand Débat,” the Yellow Vests have unleashed an inordinate amount of violence that now needs to be repressed in the strongest possible terms.

Finding Marielle Franco’s Killers
Just two days before the March 14 one-year anniversary of Marielle Franco’s assassination, civil police arrested two men alleged to be directly involved in the murder of the black, favela-born, bisexual city councilor for the Radical Left Party of Socialism and Liberty (PSOL) and her driver Anderson Gomes. Marcelo Freixo, Franco’s fellow PSOL member, political mentor, and friend, called the one-year wait for arrests “unacceptable.”The arrests seemed almost deliberately timed to coincide with mass mobilizations in Rio and across Brazil demanding an answer to the questions: Who killed Marielle and Anderson — and more importantly, who ordered them killed? It’s one more coincidence in a case in which everything reeks of coincidence and conspiracy.

Slavoj Zizek Birthday Special: Politics, Philosophy, and Hardcore Pornography

Can somone redpill me on that guy? I saw a video of him once, he seem like the regular jesus freak conservative to me, nothing worth a ban or anything

he's such an intense person to be around

...

Good Dotard. Now all you have to do is lift the sanctions on Venezuela, and then we might not feed you to the sharks.

I had a private conversation with him and I can tell you he is exactly the same in person one on one. Impossible to get a word in, totally distracted, some very charismatic. I managed to say I thought his friend Judith Butler lapses into liberalism and he sperged out defending her, then I said sometimes he at least in his language seemed to lean into conservative tendencies and he almost ripped his shirt in half and shouted "my god, ironically! ironically!"

*somehow

That sounds very unpleasant.

Nah it was a lot of fun, a little disappointing because I wanted to talk about more things with him but it was nice to know he is at least sincere and not putting on show for cameras. All things considered he was very friendly, I think he's just extremely compulsive and more mentally ill than people let on and it's sweeped under the rug as quirkiness, the fact that he's as willing to talk for two hours with a random undergrad after a talk as he is to talk with RT or the Guardian says a lot about him imo.

It will definitely 'redpill' you on the guy. Also, just watch some of his videos, he comes across as a total moron every time he speaks.

What is his game at this point?
Is this the power of Juche?
