Yeah I'd agree that Zizek has his similarities with Peterson and other pop thinkers of the internet age. The guy loves attention. Just because he's intellectually a clear level above hacks like Peterson is not a defense of him as a person or his opinions. He can also be just as intellectually lazy. Just because he has an actual depth of knowledge he can tap into doesn't mean he always bothers to use it. A shame really.
That said, I don't even remember anymore what Zizek said that made me go "eww" back in the day.
Refresh my memory?
