But your claim is also mostly misleading. Peterson and Harris and so on are mostly academics with other interests. The “industry” that you’re noticing is, again, one that grew around them *because* of the ubiquity of Identity Politics to which they are responding.

Looking at the replies, this tweet seems to be a honeypot for people who believe Peterson to be an actual academic. Personally I learned to clean my room thanks to

It’s only wild if you disregard the entire industry that does preach identity politics. It’s kind of an arms race. In isolation this may look unusual. but you must see the big picture.
