Peterson is probably one of the more vile, harmful ideology-spouting hacks out there today and it is a shame that he is so popular.

In what way?

Honest question. Not facetious.

He's very intelligent, and I feel insightful. That said, his current crusade against SJW is clearly pandering to a conservative crowd and it really pays his bills. I find it ironic because he'll definitely trash things that are conservative beliefs but he'll be much more nuanced/subtle about it (and I feel that it goes over half of his audiences' head). He also will overuse intellectual jargon to make points sound much more profound than they actually might be.

I still like him and think his popularity is well deserved. Its just a shame that his mental horsepower is being wasted on picking on SJWs (though I generally agree with his stance) when he should be using his platform to also help his largely conservative following become less dogmatic and more open to progressive ideas (to what modern conservative views should be).
