Here's an interesting question. What is the point of attempting to rehabilitate either peterson, or petersons stated views and opinions of societal hierarchies....when his entire brand is the assertion of those things considered out of bounds?
Does Peterson hold and advocate for views considered repugnent and horrendously uninformed by "establishment" professionals in the relevant areas of expertise? Yes. That's the appeal of the man and his views...that's why the alt right loves him and them (even though he never seems to grasp why, which is something I find incredibly amusing for a clinical psychologist). Does peterson say and carry water for the things his opponents in thread, online, and elsewhere contend that he does? Yes. His fans, advocates, and allies think he's right about those things....that he's on to something no one is allowed to say anymore. Doesn't it seem counterproductive to contend that he doesn't hold those views or espouse those positions?
