I’m no fan of his but Peterson is hardly right-wing. If anything he’s politically centrist with a strong focus on individualism. Both right and left wingers ha

  A little web searching turns up a number of people who believe otherwise. Here’s one I can’t easily classify into left/right boxes. https://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2018/09/21/jordan-peterson-fragile-little-snowflake-and-misogynist/ https://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2018/09/21/jordan-pe...

  > Both right and left wingers hate him because he undermines their collectivist/authoritarian sides Speak for yourself. I don't hate him but I'm not a fan -- I think he's a gifted speaker in crafting what people want to hear but find his reasoning specious.

  I did not claim he is right wing. I only claim that if you watch one of his videos you will get right wing videos pushed to you on YouTube.

  He has become associated with a typical young-white-conservative-wanmabe-manly-man crowd, which overlaps a lot with right wing movements. Whether that's his belief I dare not say, but I actually liked some (!) of his talks and bought his book and found it to be pure baseless drivel. He rehashes Jungian theory in a modern format but doesn't manage to create an overall narrative or logic. So even if he were not associated with the right, in my view there is littele reason to watch his videos. For anyone looking for meaning and a way of life I would recommend modern stoics or even just classical Marcus Aurelius, or for those wondern about what is right something like Rawls' lectures on the history of moral philosophy.
