emphasis on the cult part of that statement.

Anyone claiming that Peterson is only popular because of "cult of personality" has absolutely no idea what they are talking about. They most likely do not understand what Jordan Peterson says because Peterson talks in a complex manner that is hard to follow, and not everyone has the intelligence to do so. Many of those people then can't understand why Peterson is popular and invent superficial reasons like "he's popular because it is trendy to like him".

The reality is that he breaks down the stupid things leftist claim with intelligent, coherent, and rigorous arguments. The vast majority of people oppose the trans agenda and are exhausted by only seeing pro trans propaganda everywhere. Peterson is like an oasis of sanity in an insane world.

Okay, at least he starts giving an analysis halfway through. But the first half is a bit silly. He complains that Peterson doesn't get branded as an evildoer for repeating Molyneux's claims. But he concurs that those claims are backed by science. Isn't it more logical to complain about the treatment that Molyneux gets, and be content that at least Peterson gets a better treatment. And why does he call those claims "Molyneux things" when the source is simply science? He's overemphasizing Molyneux's influence on Peterson (whatever that influence actually is): if science points out things like hypergamy and a correlation between race and IQ, it's only to be expected that multiple intellectuals, including ones with a large audience, will repeat those claims.
