He considers himself to be a liberal I believe.

And so does Dave Rubin and a lot more "classical liberals" and "neoliberals"... I could rest my case here. Liberalism is based on liberty and equality under the law, so how come there's almost no liberal in sight fighting for these principles? Why do almost all of them, Peterson in particular, advocate for a strict hierarchy (the opposite of liberty) and why do they fight against progressives who actually try to correct the inequities so evidently present under the current socioeconomic paradigm? I really don't care what people call themselves; if Peterson has so many far right white nationalists in his follower-base (which he does), can't he see the obvious, which is that whatever he thinks he advocates for, in the end he's just another conservative not much different from the whole PragerU, Ben Shapiro, Dave Rubin etc. crew? He's intelligent enough to know that...
