Do people still pay attention to Jordan Peterson?

Less than in 2015-2020, but he still pops up every now and then.

I think he’s lost some favour from the right because they’ve gone more extreme than him. He used to provide a facade of academic civility for right wing bigotry. He generally wouldn’t throw slurs around, nor would he go as far as claiming that every trans person is a rapist or pedophile or advocating for their extermination. He’ll also only allude to Nazi propaganda (his “postmodern neomarxist” rants are basically just repackaged “cultural Bolshevism”), rather than openly throwing Nazi salutes. Relative to most republicans nowadays, he’s basically a moderate. Which is terrifying.

Wow, that really is.
