Because his philosophy is straight out of grade school.
Truly an earth-shattering new worldview.
He fills the role a father figure for those who didn't, or feel like they didn't, have one during their formative years.
I'd like to take advantage of this post to put forward a motion to ban all Peterson threads, ignoramus self-help guru #whatever-America-is-at-now shouldn't be receiving a fraction of a fraction as much of the attention as he's getting.
Because he's the only person allowed to call out the pseudointellectual fraud that is PoMo, which is very attractive to a generation drowning in PoMo bullshit.
Unfortunately, he himself capitalizes on the very PoMo sophistry he rose to fame fighting to soak up adbux from the biggest possible audience he can, ranging from nuAtheist fedoras to durk enlightenment neoTradCons.
Peterson and his ilk won't go away until the left conducts a root-and-branch purge of PoMo within itself, ruthlessly debunking and ostracizing all PoMo bullshitters.
The people he reaches are all idiots who feel smart because they 'get' what Peterson is saying. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence can see JBP for what he is.
How is he personable? I find his passive-aggressive teary-eyed creakiness unbearable. He even seems sinister.
But maybe it indeed is this. The left has dropped the ball and the right takes advantage of it.
This is true for pretty much all rightist stuff out there, it's all dumb "common sense" being regurgitated and people feel smart for agreeing with what they see and listen.
The bad news is that this crap is immensely popular and sheds a light on the real reason why socialism/communism will never be a thing and it's not because capitalism and porkies (although they help a lot) but simply because people are fucking stupid. I've said it before, nobody will ever be able to implement real socialism anywhere for as long as the majority of people remains stupid and I don't know what the solution to this problem might be because it isn't like just a lack of knowledge which can be fixed with education it's a lack of brains.
Nope.
If you like bans and deletions then fuck off to reddit/leftypol.
