I think he has offered pretty good advice to young men who grew up without father figures. That said, it seems clear that he has not done enough reading about postmodernism, poststructuralism, and many of the other things he rails against. His "debate" with Zizek was very telling, on this point. Basically I like him but he needs to stop talking about things he does not know enough about, at least until he's done the proper reading.

He should do the reading, but most of the reading is materially worthless. James Lindsay does the reading and increasingly realizes that modern critical social justice, 'woke'ness, etc are all just Hegelian dialectics applied spuriously to misunderstood social stratifications instead of economic ones like classical Marxism. The tools necessary to understand and debunk them are all the same. The perceived novelty is just symbol manipulations.

Regarding Zizek, he basically acted like a troll in the debate. Rather than discussing the actual topic of the debate, he chose to just go into his own personal philosophy, which confused Peterson, who had prepared to discuss classical (economic) Marxism. However badly you think Peterson did, he actually spoke about the resolution, which Zizek didn't.

No one should have to waste so much time reading so many derivative works when they're all based on the exact same immediately disprovable axioms.

If they're all based on the exact same Hegelian dialectic, labour theory of value, and blank slate egalitarian nonesense, then you're just wasting your time validating each individual diatribe by giving it the time of day.

I'm ex-alt-right and I hate him for throwing his right wing audience under the bus, as he does with so many of his former allies.

He betrayed Faith Goldy, Milo Yiannopolis, Gavin McInnes, he was telling Kavanaugh that even if he is innocent or rape that he should apologize regardless for ''good faith''

He was one of the first people to begrudgingly admit IQ was genetic, heritable, and racially varies - and then he goes on to support Israel, Jewish nepotism, and racial nepotism for every group except white people.

I don't hate Peterson for being a ''tyrannical father figure'' ... I hate Peterson for being weak

He had a moment in the cultural zeitgeist where he could've truly lived his own advice, and spoken the harsh truth, and had principles, and done something. Instead he cucked.

Instead he chose the comfy oversocialized Sam Harris podcast intellectual lifestyle.

The fact that Zizek debated him made me lose respect for Zizek by mere proxy.

Peterson larps as a modern Nietzsche - but he's no overman, he's an oversocialized status-obsessed modern academic.

What is happening currently with racism? People are trying to solve racism, with racism. It's insane.
That is what Marx attempted to do. Solve materialism, with materialism.
He wants to free you from the material, using the material. That's not how it works. That is the cart before the horse.
>Yeshua said,

It is an attempt at cleaning the outside of the world before the inside. The inside comes first. You cannot escape materialism with more materialism. It's just throwing more shit on the pile of shit of materialism.
Intent is not the same as impact. The impact of communism is slavery.

Like most right-wingers Lindsay doesn't understand that ideas are tools that serve a specific function in an economy, so the only thing people like him can do is point out hypocrisy, tell them they are factually incorrect, or whine about the morality of it all.

And neither of these things work, because wokeness is the new ideology of the elites in society and they don't have to justify themselves to random plebs precisely because they have all the power.

Any figure of authority who advocates a "mind over matter" philosophy of self-determination is going to face significant resistant from the hedonistic/materialistic consumer class in the West. These types tend to like philosophies that let them feel comfortable making no personal changes to their pleasure seeking lifestyles whatsoever; Peterson and his ilk ask their readers to be temporarily uncomfortable in order to achieve change. This of course is very triggering to aforementioned hedonists who will then gnash their teeth on social media and grasp at straws to attack and debunk this perceived threat.
