I haven't seen a single interview w/him being questioned on capitalism.
It's been brought up briefly in his convos w/Russell Brand & Philip Dodd though in each case the questioner hadn't prepared anything in sufficient depth to get around JBP's minimal precision requirements.

I meant his opponents, not him.
He keeps railing against his supposed pomo or neomarxist opponents. How many can you find?
Most of the hit pieces for example are from your typical liberal/neoliberal journos and such. These people are not Marxist. They're often not even lefties.

So it's pure clickbait then. The critics you mention have no moral center. Angry people click more, etc.

The hard and far right just call everything to their left “Cultural Marxism”, so Peterson does the same thing.

This really is the crux, isn't it? Peterson's interpretation of anything left is "radical" by the time you've passed neoliberal economic policy, interventionist foreign policy or right-leaning Democrat social policy.
Meanwhile he calls Ben Shapiro, Molyneux et al. "reasonable".

Again, you bring up Molyneux. JBP's new definition for beyond acceptability on the right is notions of racial superiority.

Read anything his buddy Shapiro has to say on Palestinians.

I have no doubt Israeli policy is slow genocide for the Palestinians, including grinding them into desperation so as to make them seem less reasonable.

This study found that poor farmers' IQ temporarily falls by 13 points when income is low before harvest time, even after controlling for nutrition, work effort, etc.
That suggests cognitive performance is situational, and poverty is a huge factor.

Point being, Shapiro is an unrepentant Jewish supremacist easily as far right as Molyneux, though he pretends harder not to be.
And he's Peterson's personal friend and political ally (the latter being more important). Peterson may claim to draw a line. I don't think he does.

He draws a line at overt Nazis. Which shows to go you that he does not understand this game.

Yup. Pretty low bar.
I can forgive my politically illiterate acquaintances their ignorance, but Peterson specifically can't shut up about how much he's ready about totalitarians and how thoroughly he understands them...
