I wonder how many degrees of separation this woman's opinions on the book have from the text itself. Has she read it? Read tweets by someone who has? Read tweets by someone who heard on Twitter that Jordan Peterson is bad from someone who saw it on CNN who had their intern skim the Wikipedia article on it between posts to Instagram?

Jordan Peterson preaches individualism, liberalism and philosemitism, he's pretty much the opposite of a nazi.
I read actual nazi literature in public all the time and nobody cares, since leftists are dumb NPC's who don't know any authors outside of their echo chamber.
At most they'll know the neo-cons and alt-lite e-celebs that are heavily promoted by Jewish-owned media outlets, like Ben Shapiro, Crowder, Peterson etc.

Self-help is alt-right. I hate to use the term but it's literally a shit-test. Alt-right is a term to denote social heresy to the dominant worldview and self-help is a way low-status males attempt to make themselves high-status males. The neo-puritan feminist thot naturally is hostile to low-status men potentially "tricking" other women that he's high-status and reproducing with them so she denounces his attempts to better himself in the hope that his genes are filtered out of the gene pool.

This is how these people think about Peterson's book. Everything he says is recontextualized, striped away from who his audience is (that's not to say mass shooters, but generally alienated young men, who at the extreme end up along those terms), and also every generalization he makes that may be very accurate for this subset is nitpicked to hell. I don't care for Peterson, but I think the people trying to tear him down for trying to help a group of people that society has no care for are ultimately sociopathic .

Yes, perfect remark. He's just trying to help people teaching for instance to be careful with "bad" (delinquent) friends, or that you should always tell the truth, or at least not lie. Only some sociopath would hate Jordan Peterson for this.
