It's strange to me when a thread titled "Actual book discussion" is filled with folks who seemingly have not read the book, but rather seem to be basing their opinions on Peterson from OTHER opinion pieces written about him.
I think you guys are getting caught up in the anti-Peterson hype as much as the hardcore Peterson fans are getting caught up in the pro-Peterson hype. Interestingly enough, Peterson's hardcore fans seem to fall farther to the right than Peterson himself.
I consider myself a liberal but I in no way shape or form would consider Peterson to be some right-wing extremist. Right-leaning? Sure. Too far right-leaning for my taste? At times yea. But I don't see what is so detestable about the man and no one here has yet to demonstrate anything of value that proves he's some kind of bigot.

If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
