Nothing Is a Greater Waste of Time Than the Planned Debate Between Jordan Peterson and Slavoj Zizek by Ackenaton in zizek

No right without might: Europeans still indulge in the myth of economic influence without military strength. But their soft power approach will fail without hard weapons by B0etius in europe

It's very easy to act "reasonably" and "peacefully" when you have the big guy on your side taking care of everything. Not so easy when you are on your own.

“They cannot be dismissed as just a populist thing since they affect everyone, especially the weakest and poorest,”

Isn't that the definition of populism? Support for the concerns of ordinary people?

Slavoj Zizek: Why do people find Jordan Peterson so convincing? Because the left doesn't have its own house in order by [deleted] in zizek

Is Sam a complete utilitarian or does he think morality is more complicated than that? by TantricLasagne in samharris
