Leftism shouldn't be reactionary, just because Jordan Peterson sucks doesn't mean everyone who dunks on him is good
How’s he reactionary? I’m serious. I don’t know shit about him other than the memes but this is like suddenly hearing Chomsky or Parenti are reactionary anti-commies.
Chomsky is anti-communist.
I'm not calling Zizek reactionary, I'm saying that if we like him for dunking on Peterson in a vacuum without looking at the bigger picture we're being kinda reactionary
Like :funny-clown-hammer: has debated and dunked on fascists before but we still hate him for being a neoliberal pedo
Similarly supporting the Democrats just because they oppose the Republicans is barely any less reactionary than chuds supporting Republicans for trolling the libs
The entire political spectrum in :amerikkka: is reactionary because no one actually stands for anything other than trolling their enemies and it's easy to fall into that kind of thought
Then again I don't really know what the fuck I'm talking about, someone else can probably say this better than I
That doesn't sound like reaction in the reactionary sense, it sounds like just partisanship or contrarianism.
