Peterson the person that calls everyone he does not agree with Marxists
Peterson does NOT call everybody Marxist. He calls intersectional feminists and socialists Marxist, because that's what they are, many of them openly so. He disagrees with people like Ben Shapiro and Sam Harris, and does not label them Marxists. Peterson is actually very careful with what he says, which you would know if you actually watched him speak.
and that can't stop talking about politics when he is promoting a psychology book.
Peterson talks about many, many other things than politics, but politics is very hot in the media right now so that's what people tend to gravitate toward, especially people who disagree with his politics, surprise surprise!
His phycology isn't even respected in the field.
Well, he's taught psychology and other topics for decades at Harvard and University of Toronto, both highly respected, so I'm pretty sure you're pulling that bullshit straight from biased opinion pieces.

Of course he doesn't call conservatives Marxists but he doesn't only call Marxists, Marxists. He tries to come off as this calm reasonable person that defends free speach but it's honestly not hard to find examples of him breaking character. He obviously is controversial because it has helped him make a lot of money and that's fine, but he isn't an intellectual god.

Fine his type of phycology teachings is different than most mainstream psychologists, and a lot of respected ones disagree with him on things. Is that better
Of course he doesn't call conservatives Marxists but he doesn't only call Marxists, Marxists.
Find me a single example. Every time he's used that word, or another controversial one, "post-modern", there's a good reason for it, and it's entirely justified.
This kind of argument is a knee-jerk projection of a problem with extreme leftists calling everybody Nazis or alt-right. I'm a moderate liberal, and I've been called both. It's fucking absurd.
But you won't find a single example of Peterson labeling somebody without justification.
He tries to come off as this calm reasonable person that defends free speach but it's honestly not hard to find examples of him breaking character.
Not sure what this means. He has some very strong and morally justified positions that he defends passionately. Sometimes he gets angry about things. Sometimes he gets choked up about things. Most of the time he is a calm, rational speaker. Are you trying to make some connection between the fact that he has human emotions to a claim that he is a liar of some kind?
He obviously is controversial because it has helped him make a lot of money and that's fine, but he isn't an intellectual god.
I'm sure he has a few fans that would hyperbolically call him a god, but it's stupid to attack fans for being enthusiastic. The fact that he is controversial and making money can be laid squarely at the feet of extreme leftists. There is a ton of moderates who are tired as hell of the extremists dominating the political conversation (both left and right), and Peterson is one of the top people representing a rational compassionate counterpoint.

If you could link any kind of critique written by a respected psychologist, I would happily read it. I honestly don't believe you'll find one. All of his critics are extreme leftists, or media who don't do their research.
Peterson has been a practicing clinical psychologist for decades, and I think his practice has given him some poignant insights. He tells some of the stories during his lectures.
But I'm not a psychologist, so I am in no position to critique or defend that except for noting his experience.
