I don’t understand the perception of Peterson as a right-wing figure. Usually I think of the “right-wing” description (in Anglophone parlance) when not applied to actual politicians as reserved for racists, nationalists, or hawks. Jordan strikes me as a moderately culturally conservative normal liberal democrat. His sycophantic behaviour with retards like Stefan Molyneux and his happiness to get his dick sucked by American conservative media publications are the primary kinks in his proverbial political chain.

I think with young americans left wing means "sjw's" and right wing means anti "sjw's". whereas, traditionally (19th century) left and right wing beliefs could be differentiated by understandings about human nature. Latterly the difference between left and right could be defined as being different ideas about the economy and the role of the state.
As someone who is right-wing there's a worrying trend of people from the right embracing the idea that right-wing is about being ethically compromised.... so being concerned about man's impact on the environment becomes an exclusively left-wing thing and being ignorant of these matters is right-wing

There’s an odd dissonance on the right between sanctimoniousness and amoralism, between principle and expedience. I mean, it exists in left-wing politics as well, it’s universal—but I think there is a more prominent tension between competing ideas of what “the right” is, and whether it is synonymous with being morally steadfast or with being morally flexible. Left and Right are giant bloated categories which contain more diversity within themselves than between them both, but identification with one or the other is important to people for some reason, and naturally leads to all sorts of strange contradictions and self-fulfilling prophecies.

kek imagine having to go through life as a tranny. You maybe had one dog ugly gf in highschool, you're a loser. You watch too much porn, you can't fit into society. One day, you decide to become empowered in your deeply ingrained fetish, except instead of getting a paw print tattoo and fucking dogs on camera, you decide to start taking HRT. Each day when you go out, everyone is unnerved by you. Your family and old acquaintances are visibly disturbed by you. Every venture into public comes with the undeniable knowlege that even the nicest person you encounter, when you see their eyes, clearly wished you did not exist. Each night and day you have to pretend those closest to you didn't wish you had just blown your brains out however long ago, and yet they do, and they always will.

Right wing ideologues are generally people who try to form some kind of identity which is not based on consumerism
Consumerism encourages this disgusting fragmentation of identity and constantly breaks down your sense of self to reforge it into something new, so that you need to keep buying new clothes, new makeup, new interests, to suit your new sense of self. This is how capitalism works.
The right wing response to form identity based on nation or race or religion is a natural reaction to this and is far healthier than basing it on products.
