Is Jordan Peterson Dangerous?

[Vonnegut]

I saw an image on Reddit of a packed lecture hall in Sydney Australia. Jordan Peterson was the speaker.

I haven't read any of his books but I did read that Peterson has spoken about forced monogamy being a solution to serial killers and incels and the like.

I have also seen him described as nothing more than a glorified self-help guru that employs populae psychological buzzwords to make his arguments seem rational.

What are Peterson's stated views? Why do I keep reading from his supporters that universities have been infiltrated by Marxist academics?

Would anyone be willing to list the controversial positions he holds?

A person with huge following spreading hateful and discriminatory ideas are always dangerous.

Him and his fans are cringeworthy.

I don't really understand why you feel like you need Era to explain his views to you. There are other threads about that and his views are well-known and easy to find with an online search. Is he dangerous? I don't know. I definitely think he's wrong about nearly everything. I think his influence outside the young male right-wing internet loner niche might be on.

I was so sad when my dad told me he liked Jordan Peterson. That's all I have to add.

He's like Marie Kondo but for incels.
