I mean if you can't see how he's being painted as a prominent alt-right figure above all else, then sure, that's your bag, you do you. But I find it hard to believe that you don't see it, because it's pretty prominent. It's an attempt to discredit him. I mean look at trash like this:
https://www.vox.com/2018/6/1/17396182/jordan-peterson-alt-right-religion-catholicism
It's laughable. The focusing on his popularity with the alt-right dismisses both the fact that his own various ideologies are at direct contradiction with the alt-right, and that what he's saying about culture and humanity isn't also popular among plenty of other people with vastly different political alignments.

Did you read the whole thing or just the title, cos I can see if it's just the title. I've read part of it and already they're openly stating that Peterson distances himself from said views, despite his fan-base being those types.
"But Peterson’s public persona has made him far more controversial than his relatively anodyne theories might suggest. After all, he first came to prominence for publicly refusing to use the preferred pronouns of his transgender students. Increasingly, he’s been associated with his fan base, which includes many on the alt-right, men’s rights activists, incels, and other reactionary corners of the internet landscape - though it should be noted that Peterson has often criticized the alt-right, and sees his message of personal responsibility as a path out of it. -snip

Then it goes on to say: “It is easy, and necessary, to condemn the racism, sexism, and classism that make ideologies like Peterson’s so popular.”It’s a confused, meandering hit-piece.

Oh, it's clearly a hit piece, the title and first paragraph tell you that. Not sure it's calling him a Nazi though which was the original point of contention. I didn't read the whole thing, found it boring, despite some accuracy in noting Peterson's silliness.

Which doesn't come close to calling him a nazi, lal. This is like peterson trying to blame a lack of belief for stalin's russia because it happened to be antitheist.
(such logic would dictate blaming people who don't believe in stealing because an authoritarian regime killed a bunch of petty thieves).

Lol what ideology do you feel they are referring to when they say:
"It is easy, and necessary, to condemn the racism, sexism, and classism that make ideologies like Peterson"s so popular.â€
Just throw out any guess you have.
