I'm not sure I completely agree with some of your presuppositions... BUT I totally agree about your view of Peterson.

There is nothing new about anything he says... his version of libertarianism can be found throughout much American literature. I mean, you could read anything Robert Heinlein wrote between 1945-1970, and you'd wonder if you were reading Peterson gone back in time. But then again, most of his audience have probably never even read a book in their lives, so they think he's the best thing since pop tarts.

As you say, he is nothing other than a failed academic who took a gamble at being a social media influencer and 'entrepreneur' to sell some books and make a name for himself amongst angry white men who can't get laid. Clearly he wasn't earning enough of an income as a Psychologist or an Academic.
