Views
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.
