    The weirdest part about JP is his followers think he's basically a socialist, but like one of the good ones. His main audience has never read anything in their lives.

      his followers think he’s basically a socialist

      really? I have never heard of anything like that. his followers seem to be anti-socialist (generic alt-right dudes) and don't think JBP is like that

        It's just anecdotal, but I've seen them describe the Peterson in various terms, from centrist to liberal to even socialist sometimes. I saw one guy claim Peterson is a socialist because he named his daughter after Gorbachev, so that's the level of guy we're talking about. Sometimes they'll use it to make a nonsense point like "he used to be a liberal but wokeness has gone too far."

          if that's what it takes to count as Socialist, then Sweden is Socialist because they have Gorby brand pelmini in the frozen foods section.

            Germany's most popular bottom shelf wodka brand is called Gorbatschof (German latinization of Gorbachev).

        I encountered one in the wild that was insistent that he's agnostic and largely apolitical, he just tells it like it is!
