For what its worth, I still like Peterson in certain contexts. He does represent a popular figure who analyses the world in a manner outside of mainstream (Progressive and neocon) methods. Hell, he's to the right of American conservatives just being willing to discuss IQ as a predictive metric. I do think he's absolutely unwilling to get behind any practical solutions to the social ills he points out because the solutions to any given problem all have an unpleasant side. At the end of the day he's an old fashioned liberal who will default to "niceness" when all the chips are on the table. In short he is both often right and also the exact kind of person that created today's declining western society
