Yes, he is wrongly associated by with the alt-right but not by the left. He has a lot of fans among the left and a lot of people, like me, who don't attack him unjustly but still think he is bizarre on truth & sexuality and makes criticising postmodernism much harder.

I guess it depends on how you define the left. People like you, no. But Google "Jordan Peterson alt right" and it isn't just left wing outlets like salon that are doing it, but mainstream sources like NBC. It is similar to how free speech is now considered a right wing issue.

We all know this happens but what was said here was: https://twitter.com/LukeOram/status/992156708419129344 … Pointing out that other people call him alt-right doesn't address that at all.

I'm sure you don't think people shouldn't criticise his concept of truth whilst deploring unfair accusations because other people make fair accusations. There must be a way to criticise his epistemology, surely?
-
I don't disagree with that. I just think that people like Peterson will always a have a large audience so long as the rational voices on the left are marginalized. So long as "not far left" equals "alt-right" in the eyes of the media, that will be the case.
