I actually agree with some of the things he says. I have read his book, but where I draw the line is in the identity politics and classing ordinary people who disagree with him as Nazi's or Alt right. I find that immature and unhelpful. I have demonized the working classes myself, but those view came from formative years, which Jones would not have experienced, such as having someone trespassing our council estate garden and threaten to stab our dog and things like that. As a sensitive child it was a violent side that I simply wasn't used to. Homeless hostels, junkies, damaged people, and people refusing to work and all of that. It didn't leave a good impression on me. Obviously good people too, but I was so young. The dark leaves the bigger impact. I realize that was more the underclass rather than the working class as those people often just won't work at all. That is a world of pure nihilism actually and thus I find you a bit odd painting Peterson as nihilistic.
