    • I've only watched post-game analysis clips. Some of the left are still complaining, Peterson fans cling to the civil discourse narrative.deadsperm
    • What I've most enjoyed were the memes pointing out how unprepared and out his league Peterson was.deadsperm
    • I'd have continued to join in, but my comments come pre-canned.see_thru
    • just watched the whole debate, poor jordan out of his league :)renderedred
    • Hmmm I finally watched this. Didn't seem like much of a debate to be honest. Peterson gave a very standard critique of communism. Zizek did one of hisyuekit
    • talks where he throws out a million different ideas at once, making Peterson look simple-minded by comparison. But there wasn't much real interaction, they wereyuekit
    • on two different tracks the whole time.yuekit
    • @yuekit, i don't know if the organizers or peterson himself thought that zizek will defend marxism. zizek is NOT a marxist and that's where all fell apart imhorenderedred
