The funny thing about "Cultural Marxism" is that it shows the massive level of anti-intellectualism right-wingers operate on. Their targets are never consistent.
Petersonites use Cultural Marxism to refer to French Post-Structuralists like Foucault and Derrida. Neo-Nazi Zig Forumsyps use Cultural Marxism to refer to the 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧Frankfurt School🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 thinkers, not any one of them in particular, just the entire institution put together so it sounds more sinister and to imply they have a unified objective. The original Paleocons IIRC use Cultural Marxism to refer to the Italian Left, particularly Gramsci.
If only leftists were as organized as they think.

has peterson ever called it cultural marxism out loud, or has he just dog whistled this whole time?

If you didn't already know, d.egeneracy filters to fun Adorno is probably as close as you'll ever get to an anti-"fun" theorist. Literally had a huge hate boner for Jazz and was obsessed with romantic and classical composers like Beethoven and Wagner as well as techniques like twelve-tone. I can't actually think of a Frankfurt school theorist that promotes "fun", plenty of weird theorists but nothing implicitly promoting what Zig Forums thinks they do. Possibly. He's mainly just shit, CIA or not. If by role you mean sabotage completely, yes. The CIA pretty much cointelpro'd Adorno so hard with liberal students he had a heart attack. Dialectic of Enlightenment is Adrono's magnum opus and touches upon the culture industry while addressing some of the problems with the enlightenment. Negative Dialectics also touches upon the culture industry as well. Haven't read him, but maybe go on to Benjamin as well. He's kinda weird though with his mysticism and may be overrated from what I hear. He's not really necessary at all. Other then that you'll have to ask others, there really isn't anything else of significance (for me at least) I can think of. Don't read Marcuse unless you want to inject yourself with New Left brain aids and hang yourself with rolled up hotel towel.
In almost every other case, Peterson is very careful to use the phrase "postmodern neo-Marxism" instead, and he never invokes the Frankfurt school version of the conspiracy, much to the ire of the Zig Forumsyps. He probably has to put in a concerted effort not to use the phrase "cultural Marxism", because it's also linked to Anders Breivik's rambly manifesto (which is funnily enough plagiarized mostly from the Unabomber's manifesto).
A very masochistic part of me is very invested to see how the Zig Forumsyp develops their cultural Marxism thesis. Of course it's mostly false bullshit predicated on their inability to read past the preface to the Dialectic of Enlightenment. If you ever want to lose a couple of brain cells and just fuck around, you should type in any one of these right-wing buzzwords into Amazon and read the descriptions and reviews of what ever pops up.
"Cultural Marxism" is a way for your brain dead Zig Forumsyp to attack standard social reforms made within the last half of the 20th century that advanced the status of various minority groups. Given that it is directed squarely at academic Marxism, they can write any retarded screed and it'll be taken as gospel within their political milieu. Notice that the second review I quoted acknowledges the fact that an alliance between the Left and Radical Islamist is "incomprehensible", but he gobbles it up regardless. The problem lies in the fact that once they realize that no one gives a fuck about obscure German and Italian theorists with unpronounceable names, they'll recognize the need to get more ambitious. No one, even in the current political climate, could for example get away with attacking Martin Luther King Jr. Everyone would see them for the batshit extremist they are. And so in lieu of attacking the logic of liberal democracy, poor Adorno's got to take the heat for initiating stealth jihad on the white race.

Marxist culture is when you collect samples of Marxist bacteria in Petri dishes, document its growth and behaviour (scale-electrics), and then you download the dating app called praxus that subverts western style deluxe chicken burger philosophy.
I have a hard time trying to tell if they are obstinately stupid but sincere in their beliefs, or if they are actually aware of these nuances and choose to ignore them because they are disingenuous grifters. It seems that most people would reach a state of cognitive dissonance from holding so many contradictory ideas, but they never seem to. It reminds of what I've read about borderlines reaching a state of denial or compartmentalizing to the point of ridiculousness.

They literally believe Marxist Jews infiltrated all media and many governments for world domination by controlling the culture to destroy all tradition and morals. One Brazilian polyp I know blames Antonio Gramci instead of Marx though but still brings up Frankfurt School. It's just a Nazi lead conspiracy theory.
