How Slavoj Zizek provoked Jordan Peterson:
Zizek's essay for the Independent "Why do people find Jordan Peterson so convincing?" provoked a defensive reaction from both Peterson and his fans. This video will explore just why Žižek wrote the essay the way he did and how Žižek's assessment that Peterson's hot takes on subjects like white privilege and neo-Marxists ought to be slotted next the pseudo-observations of clowns like Milo Yiannopoulos.

Zero Books Manifesto:
The modern world is at an impasse. Disasters scroll across our smartphone screens and we’re invited to like, follow or upvote, but critical thinking is harder and harder to find. Rather than connecting us in common struggle and debate, the internet has sped up and deepened a long-standing process of alienation and atomization.
Zer0 Books wants to work against this trend.
