It's not pronounced Pompeedoo and not pronounced sayeedgeist.
Sounds like a buffoon.
Didn't listen past zat.

He's a classic anti-intellectualism self-identifying victim who doesn't spend any time learning or listening. Indeed intelligence and learning are, to him, weaknesses.
He's basically a priest of the alt-right movement, and should only be taken seriously as the threat he poses to vulnerable minds.
Oookay. Explains a lot.
I didn't even pay particular attention to his content, but if he can't be bothered to pronounce things -and names- properly (google translate has a pretty decent automated pronounciation helper that sounds decent in every language I know), but has to throw them in every second sentence, that's pretty disqualifying for me.
And in that Wiki Lianachan linked, it mentions gamergate.
Why are all those guys involved in it somehow?
[wacky]
You know he's a socialist, right?
It's never a good thing to simply label people on the basis of what you, personally, don't approve of.
A socialist who supports the far-right UKIP?
I personally don't approve of the rights of women to being rolled back to stone age standards no, and I label such people who rant about doing so as pratts. So guilty as charged.

I'm not sure he is a supporter of UKIP, as much as being a supporter of challenging the status quo in mainstream politics.
No idea why you mention women's rights at all.
Are we talking about the same Sargon of Akkad? The "Colleges and universities are literally teaching teenagers that every white person is racist." guy? The man who said "Social justice professors are indoctrinating young people into a pseudoscientific cult behind closed doors that is doing damage to their health, education and future."?
Are we talking about the guy who has a "Why people hate feminism" series along with pearls of wisdom such as "Reality has an anti-feminist bias" along with labeling every attempt to bring about equality as part of an "SJW" movement worthy of a Alex Jones rant?
The guy who tweet this at 3AM this morning?
That guy?
If my failing memory serves me accurately you linked the original 4chan article, so I am assuming your question is rhetorical?
You should read this actually. It's a great primer for the 4chan thingy and a good explanation as to why so many young men seem to be turning to the likes of Sargon of Akkad to justify their rage at feminism, which (if we're being honest) is merely rage at women.

We are talking about the same person.
You seem to be conflating criticism of radical social justice nonsense with a desire to "roll back women's rights to the stone age" however.
Back when he started out, he was legitimately a voice of reason. However, his popularity has caused his head to swell to unreasonable proportions and now he mostly just regurgitates right-wing anti-social vitriol. He does claim to be a left leaning socialist, but his words don't correspond to such a standpoint at all.
Nice strawman.
This is "criticism of radical social justice":

Both professors have points. Both points are valid. Unlike the borderline comments under the video, Prof Peterson hits the nail exactly on the head.
Unlike radical young people with their violent snowflake attitudes, his "opponent" hits the nail exactly on the head.
Well, kinda rhetorical, but to be "brutally honest", I don't give a flying fig about those loser dudes any more.
If they want "street cred", maybe they should start being good at something - anything - and be it gaming. I watch "raging" gamers (like Broeki -- german dude) all the time. He's very blunt, but he hammers all the nails. "if you're not in the top 0,1% of gaming, stop pretending you're good at that game".
Things like that.
