Peterson is something, but "neo-Nazi" isn't one of them. It's a category error to ascribe to Peterson the attributes of his fan base, as Peterson himself discovered when amidst the angry howls of his followers when he openly criticized anti-Semitism a month or two ago.

I don't have to like or respect Peterson to object to him being called a Nazi.

Why is Peterson a neonazi?

> I will never use words I hate, like the trendy and artificially constructed words "zhe" and "zher." These words are at the vanguard of a post-modern, radical leftist ideology that I detest

> Peterson has criticized the use of the term "white privilege", stating that "being called out on their white privilege, identified with a particular racial group and then made to suffer the consequences of the existence of that racial group and its hypothetical crimes, and that sort of thing has to come to a stop

Emphasis mine, both. What do you call someone who is very strongly against the left while protecting white privilege? We have a non whitewashing word for that.

You fail to recognize that Peterson emphasizes that people should be treated as individuals, and not be ascribed guilt (or privilege) based on being born into any group. He also lives that. That thoroughly invalidates any "nazi" accusation.

Perhaps you need to realize that there are more political viewpoints than "left" and "nazi".

I am very strongly against the left (as well as right) but that might be due to the fact that I’m from a post communist country. Fun fact, Czechs are the only ethnicity that was mentioned explicitly by both Marx and Hitler as enemies of their respective ideologies. I dislike both. What does that make me?

The idea of white privileged is dangerous tho.

TIL, I'm a "neonazi". I'm Asian.

being "asian" doesn't mean you cannot think as a "neonazi" does. every ethnic group has examples of similar worldviews.
