Peterson is telling people what they want to hear, which is why he has an audience. He's not carrying out a sincere inquiry into philosophical truth.
What people want to hear is condemnation of de-platforming, shouting down and other behaviors new to the last decade or two in academia. He's also not a philosopher, he's a psychiatrist. His comments around the postmodernist influence in the Humanities and the cultural effects - right or wrong - are a fascinating topic of debate quite relevant to this thread.
