There's no "perhaps". Peterson's specialty is delivering long soliloquies while he name drops books and historical figures, focusing his audience on individual accountability and his brand of neo-stoicism, while shunning identity politics. In the meantime, identity politics are being used to pit half the population against the people in his audience, while the real far right is drooling at the opportunity to bring his audience into their group and radicalize them (e.g. Poal, some of Gab, etc). They want the country divided into two warring camps. They want race riots and civil unrest. This is all by design. This happened in the 60's and look at the policy changes that rolled out just afterwards: women's lib movement, women joining the workforce, gradual erosion of our standard of living so both parents had to work to support a family, destabilization of the nuclear family, leading to single mothers, many of which were and are dependent on the state for income and support. Peterson is a gatekeeper. If you think about the US as a pressure cooker, Peterson is the seal on the top. He's keeping a large part of the higher IQ traditional component of the population under pressure longer, preventing them from leading any sort of movement. This means when the thing eventually blows, the pressure level will be far higher. If he was a force for good, he would be diplomatically pointing his finger at who is turning up the heat and organizing his audience to push for reform. Instead, he encourages his audience to live as individuals, and not form a collective movement that could do something BEFORE the pressure cooker blows up. This is a long game. A multigenerational war.
