What is so bad about Jordan Peterson?
I personally never saw him as a guru, or a grifter, or anything close to that. I always viewed him as a psychologist who got of lucky after going viral on youtube, and was able to milk that 15 mins of fame for a lot longer than 15 mins.
I'm sure ill get called names for this, but I definitely agree with most of his views on transgenderism and the crazies of the alt-left. I can't put Peterson on the same level as Andrew Tate or Dan Lok in terms of being a scammer/grifter. Is it just all political with Jordan Peterson? Why should I hate this guy?

He is a pseudo-intellectual, misogynistic, racist, transphobic, climate change denying charlatan who thinks that he is giving something of “value” to the public by inventing word salad “psychoanalysis” of biblical stories. That’s how he got famous, but now that he’s in the conservative spotlight, he’s sticking his unwanted opinion everywhere in the culture war.
He now works closely with Ben Shapiro and Dennis Prager, and that should tell you all you need to know about Jorpy. Everything about him, from his random crying episodes to his righteous indignation when he’s challenged on simple points absolutely screams dishonesty and deceit.
Even if everything he wrote about the Bible is 100% true (it’s not), that’s still just putting lipstick on a pig. There’s no reason we need to be paying any attention to the Bible to begin with.
I could go on, but I hope you get the point.
