    You might be right but I think your chosen contrast is bad.

    I could easily be a christian traditionalist, materialist and atheist. (I am not! But I could)

    Whatever reason there is to oppose the claim that Harris is like peterson, whatever reason there is why Harris could never be a fascist, you aren’t highlighting it with that contrast.

      I’m using Christian Traditionalist as shorthand for Christian + Christian Traditionalist.

      There are many ways to contrast them, but perhaps the most salient is in their reputations.

      Harris has been labeled as one of the new horsemen of atheism or some dumb shit.

      Peterson is some kind of postmodern Christian lobster or some shit. Whatever it is, its defined by judaeo-christian values and cleaning up your bedroom.

      (I joke about the lobsters and cleaning up bedrooms but for as much shit Peterson gets, these two memes are commonly misunderstood as goofs)
