Is Jordan Peterson the stupid man's smart person?

This is author is pretty low hanging fruit, but JBP should invite for an interview. The article is so smug, as if, "I can figure out the conservative lunatic after a day of web searching" vs. JBP's lifetime of learning on complex issues and philosophies.

I tried to read this article because I was looking for honest critiques of Peterson, since I don't like being trapped in echo chambers. I found this article and stopped reading around the part where the author makes fun of Peterson's voice. It's not an article in good faith. It's a hit piece.

That article is an "editor's pick"?! Pathetic.

@OP: Please use post an archive version of an article when linking to an article that doesn't allow for comments to rebuke the article.

How 'stupid' can a man be if he's listening to speeches and lectures by a Canadian clinical psychologist?

"“Postmodern neo-Marxism” is Peterson’s nemesis, and the best way to explain what postmodern neo-Marxism is, is to explain what it is not—that is, it is entirely distinct from the concept of “cultural Marxism.”

“Cultural Marxism” is a conspiracy theory holding that an international cabal of Marxist academics, realizing that traditional Marxism is unlikely to triumph any time soon, is out to destroy Western civilization by undermining its cultural values. “Postmodern neo-Marxism,” on the other hand, is a conspiracy theory holding that an international cabal of Marxist academics, realizing that traditional Marxism is unlikely to triumph any time soon, is out to destroy Western civilization by undermining its cultural values with “cultural” taken out of the name so it doesn’t sound quite so similar to the literal Nazi conspiracy theory of “cultural Bolshevism.”

To be clear, Jordan Peterson is not a neo-Nazi, but there’s a reason he’s as popular as he is on the alt-right. You’ll never hear him use the phrase “We must secure a future for our white children”; what you will hear him say is that, while there does appear to be a causal relationship between empowering women and economic growth, we have to consider whether this is good for society, “‘’cause the birth rate is plummeting.” He doesn’t call for a “white ethnostate,” but he does retweet Daily Caller articles with opening lines like: “Yet again an American city is being torn apart by black rioters.” He has dedicated two-and-a-half-hour-long YouTube videos to “identity politics and the Marxist lie of white privilege.”
