Trying to paint Jordan Peterson as a right-wing reactionary is disingenuous.

Jordan is trained as a scientist, and as such believes in Modernism; universal laws and truth. Postmodernists hate him because he rails against social construction of gender, climate change, and other constructions. Like most science based intellectuals, he doesn't really understand Postmodernism, and the reasoning behind much of this theory. He simply has not read much of the Postmodern academic literature. He sees only an attack on 'truth'.

He may seem right-wing to Postmodernists. I would encourage anyone who hates him to look in the mirror and see that they are not 'left' or 'progressive', but actually Postmodernists. I'm begining to think the culture wars are not left vs. right, but actually Modernism vs. Postmodernism.
