Views
[change | change source]Peterson criticises political correctness,[6] Marxism,[7] and postmodernism.[8] He said:[9][10]
Most of the global warming posturing is a masquerade for anti-capitalists to have a go at the Western patriarchy. That’s partly why the climate change thing for me is a contentious issue because you can’t trust the players." However, he believes climate change to be an issue.
When interviewing young American conservative figure Brett Cooper, Peterson claimed:[11]
The Left ‒ especially the radical types ‒ will drop you in a moment if you say or do anything that is out of that ideological sake [sic] [. ...] they will cancel or exclude. That's part of the entanglement of the radical left with cluster B psychopathology, with narcissism, with psychopathy, with borderline personality disorder, with antisocial behavior. That's all [...] passive-aggressive behavior, because it doesn't involve fists but social exclusion ‒ a very effective form of punishment.

I read something by Carl Jung, at about this time, that helped me understand what I was experiencing. It was Jung who formulated the concept of persona: the mask that "feigned individuality." Adoption of such a mask, according to Jung, allowed each of us- and those around us - to believe that we were authentic. Jung said...
