Read anything his buddy Shapiro has to say on Palestinians.
Conversation
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.

If the fascists really do win, Peterson will die in the second or third round of purges.

Nah, I think he would be saved much like Wittgenstein. Too difficult to off him quietly. Problematic optics.
Unless you mean globally, in which case, yeah...

He'll eventually burn out. I hope he returns to more academic lectures on a higher intellectual plane & has time to parse such issues as brought up here.
He's mentioned that in prep for upcoming debate w/Sam Harris, he's read *all* Harris's books. I wish I had that fortitude.

I don’t have the fortitude to finish a Harris blog post.

I hadn't read or heard much of Harris until his debate w/Chomsky a few years back. Noam wouldn't let Harris get beyond Bill Clinton's bombing of that pharma plant which supposedly led to deaths of 10k people b/c not getting their meds.
Harris seemed the epitome of the below.

Chomsky eviscerated him. People who think they're smarter than Chomsky are always wrong when they go head to head with him. Always.

Not that it had much to do with smarts. Chomsky did nothing but point out to Harris how wildly inconsistent with his ethical claims his actual political opinions are, and the man proceeded to have a long, epic meltdown.
It was beautiful.
