Fair enough, the author of the piece shouldn't mix up exasperation and fear (although you have quoted the article in a way that could be mistaken for your own words). I don't think people are afraid of Peterson but dispirited at the numbers that believe his pseudo-intellectual mumbo-jumbo.

I would imagine even since his Channel 4 interview most people in the UK wouldn't have a clue who he is.
Funnily enough, I was having a chat with an extended family member who has just graduated from a Russel Group university. I'd always had him down as being a paid-up member of the identity politics brigade, due to his age and environment. I couldn't have been more further from the truth. He was fully aware of all the BS that is currently going on around us, and what's more, so does his friends who come from all over the world. He said his social media is full of young people sharing ideas and conversation about their skeptism of current wisdom, particularly the vision pushed by the popular media. I was quite surprised by all of this, so I wouldn't be too quick to pidgeon hole people as niche Channel 4 viewers sitting in their bedsits!
I have a masters in psychology as well as two other degrees and I can say for a fact that what Jordan Peterson says and writes is not “pseudo intellectual mumbo jumbo”. Try watching his discussion with Camille Paglia regarding their interpretation of intersectionalist feminism through the lens of Jung’s animus/anima theories. Peterson is adamant that western societies need both left and right wing personality types to work together if our culture is to endure and our economy to flourish.
Unfortunately those pulling the strings want to control who is allowed to become a candidate, for those on the right and the left. They like the interchangeable types who I mention above, Bush, Clinton, Blaire, Cameron, etc., who don't really stand for anything except the status quo. Any outsider will face a highly orchestrated dirty tricks campaign, to ensure they get nowhere near assuming power. Fortunately on this occasion, they have all been caught in the act!
