I'm not familiar with Tate but this surface level take wouldn't hold up with someone who follows Peterson.  
He was a proficient psychologist, his advice self improvement advice is the standard any decent therapist would tell you and is backed up with plenty of data.

The issue comes I think because he talks with such a peculiar vernacular that he sounds like an authority, even when speaking about other topics of which he doesn't know very well. He's views and ideas around religion and politics especially lead to a very slippery slope.

But here's the thing, his critics make it very easy to side with him because the typical arguments made against him, like what you're saying here, are so atrociously bad and completely out of touch with the things he actually says.  


The man undoubtably has flaws and there are genuine counter arguments for the points he does make but you hardly ever hear them because people are too busy attacking a caricature of him.  
And maybe these are geunine critisisms of Tate but that only goes to show a lack of understanding by lumping the two together.

I think you might drinking that Peterson kool aid friend. I’ve read several of his works, when I myself was feeling lost as a young man. The dude has an education but he’s just a conservative mouth piece at this point. Also should probably get back in therapy himself, Peterson obviously hates women at his core.

Dude also repeats the same arbitrary, flippant statements that add up to diddly squat. No real cohesion from his world view. At least not one I could find. Also just straight up wrong about a lot of empirical fact which doesn’t help his credibility.

No shade to you of course, I just think these sudo-intellectual celebrity types (Shapiro, beck, garvis, etc) have the potential to be very dangerous.

Just my opinion
