Jordan Peterson is a hack philosopher who barely understands the source material he critiques. He does not understand Marx’s historical materialism in the slightest; his lectures on Christianity are more rambles than coherent points; and his claim to fame is getting upset over pronouns and riding that pony to the money train that is the alt-right pipeline. If you actually know these topics, it’s plain to see how shallow Peterson’s opinions and viewpoints are. He’s a great con-man—I’ll give him that.

He's very good at saying nothing in so many words and then claiming something that doesn't follow from what he said.

He once told a friend he wanted to buy an old church. Puzzled, his friend asked what for, assuming he meant to live in like some weird rich recluse might do. Nope. He wanted to buy it so he could give sermons to people about his ideologies.
