The saying patients want to catch is "grow the hell up, accept some responsibil- ity, live an honorable life."  Peterson is as well-known for his critiques of the Left as his work on modernity's psycho- logical discomfort with progressives. Many of his points are directed at what he names "cultural Marxism" and "postmodern neo-Marxism."
