He is (somewhat) intelligent and uses that to understand what his audience wants to hear and then says exactly that, and tries to make them want to hear more. When talking to someone liberal, he sounds liberal, when being grilled on a news show, he becomes a pretty average not-very-good academic but when he knows he has a young audience of budding Neo-Nazis he becomes a racist sexist lunatic, because he enjoys the attention. I think that he is one of those people that plays up to their supporters and changes his opinion constantly based on who he is talking to. Why would someone who had said that he loves democracy and freedom, then run away to Russia for no reason or turn out to be a total racist (I found the studies he was quoting and they were manipulative in who they chose to test the IQ of)?

Then he ran away to Russia, saying he couldn't trust Western medicine. I later saw some of his videos on YouTube and some other stuff this sub showed me, like saying POC have a lower than normal IQ, debating with far-right nut jobs. He sounded like knew what he was talking about, and whilst I didn't agree with him, I respected him as an intelligent man. His arguments were well reasoned and he genuinely sounded like a reasonably decent liberal-rightish academic. He was giving a speech to the Oxford Union ( Oxford is one of the world's top universities) and I watched him and everything he said was actually quite liberal, and I didn't stay until the end, but he was very popular with the intelligent liberal-left student audience who were watching him and I was told he received a large applause at the end ( from people of all races and genders).Ģ.) Freedom of speech is imperative, hate speech is wrong, but we can't prevent it without damaging freedomģ.) He said that he felt the United Kingdom Version of democracy was a great thing ( and the UK is a very free democratic and NOT VERY racist/sexist) When I first saw Jordan Peterson I found I quite liked him, but not because I was a Neo-Nazi, but because he just didn't say anything that controversial.
