You know its true, you are just too terrified of the implications to admit it.

>Not exactly what I was looking for.
You're looking for somebody to spoonfeed you analysis of a poorly defined and contemporary phenomenon? Regardless of your views if you want to understand the psyche of the "alt-right" you should read their works, otherwise you're just dealing in hearsay.

while you and Peterson are right in pointing out the flaws in what you call "post-modernism," I think you're both confusing it with Critical Racial Theory, Queer Theory and SJW-tier pseudo theory in general. I think they are the modernists in that they do have a metanarrative they are pushing and they heavily rely on structural analysis (which they do very little of in actuality, they just cite structures of power as matter of fact). I simply don't understand how skepticism of objective knowledge and metanarratives is a bad thing, and how the denial of reason and retarded shit like "Progress is made by fighting oppression through the exposure of meta-narratives that are used by the powerful to oppress the weak" follows from that. Post-modernism in that sense is the ultimate radical centrist approach. However(!), if you are you looking at post-modernism in the sense of a cultural epoch and were to argue that SJW leftism and its academic concurrents are a product of that epoch I would agree with you.
