Jordan Peterson - The "Intellectual" We Deserve
I think when it comes to the Identity Politics thing, from what I can parse in Zizek's rantings, is that he just laments the slowly retreating vector of class in the academic discussion of intersectional identity and oppression. Is he right that it's going away? Idk, maybe, but I think it's...www.resetera.com
I don't expect him to be very long for ERA.
I'm sure they'll tire of him soon enough, and he'll be banned. One thing he said in particular that I'd challenge:
If you're fighting for equality and as a side effect you're increasing hostility towards those groups you're fighting for then you're not really fighting for equality.
I don't think this follows logically, despite perhaps being well intended. Even Martin Luther King would fail this definition, so it needs some adjustment. How about, "if you're fighting for equality and as a side effect you generalize other groups, which in turn increases their hostility towards the group you want to fight for, then you're not really fighting for equality."
The golden rule > white privilege or patriarchy any day of the week.
