Never found Peterson compelling, aside from his willingness to fight DEI. As you wrote, he wraps basic ideas in multi syllabic words to make them seem important and novel.
Peterson has always been a foe of the right. He is an admirer of Marx and a card-carrying globalist whose mission is to move young men away from ethno-nationalism toward liberal centrism. The signs were there all along. It took him turning up the crazy to 11 for normies to notice.
This is why we keep losing. The enemy is subtle. You people need to stop talking so much and pay better attention.
Not carrying water for the guy, but I really don't think he admires Marx.
Peterson had a debate with Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek on the subject of Marxism.
He has always clearly stood against ethno-nationalism as well, but I don't see that as part of a more recent "crazy" vibe shift.
If anything, he was always more centrist than he was given credit for, or maybe only until he was pigeon-holed and badgered into being a political figure rather than an academic/author.
The Ironic part is that he rose to fame on account of the most basic (lobster analogy) elements of responsible living, "simple ideas, ... with fancy words.” He told young men to pull up their pants and clean their rooms. That's not really radical right-wing to anyone but the campus crowd he worked with.
That and a little pushback on DEI made him the unintentional face of cultural conservatism? How were we so starved for an intellectual voice that wasn't overtly progressive?
Peterson has said good things about Marx, and collects old Marxist paintings. He’s not a Marxist, but he is a sympathizer, regardless of his critiques of it. That’s basically what globalism is.
Peterson is, in fact, a card-carrying globalist. By that, I mean he works directly for the globalists, getting paid by them to write position papers and giving lectures against nationalism in favor of liberal centrism.
He rocketed to popularity through being promoted by the system. He’s always been a fraud.
He was a gateway to waking up for me. At least he can serve that function and I’m sure he has for many. I wouldn’t listen to a word he has to say about anything on any topic anymore.
Canadian academic/psychiatrist: not a likely RW champion.
This is the sorry situation we found ourselves in during the TDS and Covid eras. The left became so preposterous that our coalition grew too broad to keep out the losers.
Fully agree, I read willing to hear opposing viewpoints and I don't agree with Peterson on Israel but this article has only name calling and finger pointing. Was childish and revealing.
As a Canadian, Peterson was always just as vapid and unoriginal as yourself. Imagine needing to cling to such "role models" and "heroes" ..what a life of cowardice and un-original thought that must be.
Drones looking for new programming, marching in lock-step to the beat of another pied piper of impotent rage.

Jordan has become yet another in a long line of duplicitous, avaricious Zionist stooges.
Where others see brilliance, I see calculated cunning…and an overly-emotive schtick which has grown tiresome and boring.
Well said.
I haven’t read it yet; I will afterwards
Just wanted to give a like for the accurate title of this post
Thanks king (I’m assuming you’re a dude).
I found it was a good read, so thank you.
This comment is the perfect encapsulation of the woke right's level of seriousness.
Undeniably.

Unfortunately, yes. Weak men like Peterson cause hard times.
This is the most pathetic attempt at a hit piece I've ever read.
"I have nothing concrete to say about Peterson but he's no longer cool, hear that everyone 'Peterson is no longer cool'."
I’ve said plenty of concrete things about Peterson here. Did you not read the piece?

You’re free to disagree, but don’t lie and claim that all I’m doing is name-calling.

Are you trying to make a point about Canadians or Peterson?
Yawn
I wish people would actually read up on psychological operations.
Peterson is not a psy op.
Not everything is a psy op.
Do some reading on the topic.
