His existence is a net good for the establishment. Baffled as to why he's demonized so much. He's bland, but that's a good thing, as the alternatives are much more dangerous. Normies and cringe breadtuber leftoids want to deradicalize disillusioned men, and Peterson's doing the job much better than they are. Absolute morons.

JBP is correct but he doesn't address the main cause for degenercy: Women replaced men in hierarchies and have done a horrific job of it (people work more, universities are shit, and everything feels fucked up). Then, men treat themselves like women via: "It's valuable because I like it." JBP is reminding men that they are men but can't say that because women in the west are drugged up on the myth of equality.

This kind of logic is used against Peterson all the time. Like the number one defense people use for his work is along the lines of:

"You didn't watch his 6th lecture on evolutionary psychology in regards to masculinity so of course you don't understand the point he's making when he says 'people with autism actually have bigger dicks than normal people'".

These are the people that hate Jordan. Pay no mind to them, they are merely mad that he doesn't meet eye to eye with them on everything. Oddly enough, I've also seen a lot of criticism for using Christianity for a lot of his writings as well. You don't need to look any further than his reviews on his book at Amazon to see people endlessly complain about the fact that he writes on Christianity in a non-critical way.

His critics mostly rely on ad-hominems anyways.
