@@jackreece1143 they just want him to A. Validate their beliefs. B. Avoid explicitly denouncing the question, thus strengthening their belief that there is a conspiracy to silence people who know the truth.
It's important to note that it wasn't just the Romani, Jews and disabled that were victims of the holocaust; Slavs, homosexuals, Spanish republicans, leftists and a number of religious groups were also victims. These victims are often overlooked and it's important to remember them. In my opinion Nazi racial theory and eugenics gives a pretty clear understanding of their motivation and rationale, to say anything else is historically, and academically, dishonest in my opinion. Jordan Peterson makes a terrible historian given that he uses history to support his opinion rather than forming an opinion from studying history.

@@davebailey7937 It's a truth that is rarely taught in schools I could not be more thankful for the internet, since once you are able to tell the truth from lies it becomes a most valuable tool.
Depends on your culture, in german speaking countries these facts are well known, even if people do develop a resistance to the knowledge because of many reasons which are more or less understandable. But e.g. Bonhoeffer is a big name in protestant churches, and very actively remembered.
"Leftists and progressives are Nazis" Which leftist policies would the Nazis support? California making it easier to vote and giving prisoners voting rights? Decreasing police and military spending to fund social programs? Abolishing selective service? Abolishing electoral college so it's not just Democrats vs Republicans? Pulling more troops out of the Middle East? Being against nationalism? Less strict immigration?
@3rd Degree Burns It's wishful thinking that Nazis would actually do that (well, except for the environmental part) and that they would seek the democratic route (like these damn leftists often do).
@3rd Degree Burns Sorry, I think we were on some kind misunderstanding there. My bad. Nazis didn't invest all that much into infrastructure or healthcare (watch the "Was Hitler a socialist"-video for that), and it's usually a political exercise to make (modern) leftists and fascists look the same. However, I understand that right-wing parties from other nations might have differences in their programs, and that recent movements tend to intermix and join under one anti-authoritarian roof while following wholly disparaging ideas. It's very complicated 🤨
@3rd Degree Burns Right? The ABSOLUTE GALL of them to improve the lives of ordinary people and IMPOSE on us modern and well designed infrastructure. It's like a DICTATORSHIP where everyone is FORCED to not die due to shitty trains, derelict bridges and a silly cough that turned out to be lung cancer. So I guess what you are saying is a perfect democracy is one in which basic needs are not covered by the state, because that would be TYRANNY.
@@fermintenava5911 'Nazis didn't invest all that much into infrastructure' Sure, lets ignore the fact that the heart of Germany's autobahn network was built by the Nazi party... Do you really have to lie to make the Nazis look bad? Because you shouldn't have to. It's pointless lies like that that strengthen the position of the far right as they can point to that and say, correctly, 'hey look at this leftist lying about how bad the Nazis were'. Of course this will then be followed by a lie of their own such as 'they have to lie because the Nazis were actually good'. This is the sort of thing that they do to draw politically ignorant disaffected people to their side. If you really want to weaken the far right then stop playing their game.
@3rd Degree Burns I don't know that Healthcare for All counts when A. It existed well before the Nazi Party (Otto von Bismarck in 1884) and B. the fact that they willingly denied those same rights to German citizens based entirely on their religious identity and heritage. Or their assumed mental disabilities. Or their being or a certain socioeconomic class.
Know whats even more hilarious?: leftists getting frustrated for never managing to properly, through any substantive means, articulate the claim that JP is in any way morally, prescriptively or pragmatically the equivalent, or the adjacent, of the far right or the National Socialists. Seems like they can only beg the question or point out ridiculous non sequitur such as what other people asked him about half a dozen times in his hundreds of lectures and interviews that spam for more than a decade, even before he got famous. And in that regard, 3 Arrows' entire attempt at doing exactly that, at the end, is absolute evidence of his limitless stupidity: "Peterson criticizes an ideology that is ruining society. The Nazis criticised an ideology that they thought ruined society. Ergo Peterson Nazi". Its nothing short of that low IQ mental gymnastic. Its propagandistic. Nazis criticized an entire demographic, and tied to it a false ideological premise (something the wokes do all the time against certain demographics, but someone like Peterson never does that, as he explicitly denounces "identity politics", he criticizes positions, not tying them to identities of demographics). Also, lets not forget that communists and progressives like 3 arrows also have their equivalent of the "jews" = the rich (but if we go to cultural marxism territory, then it can be the whites, the males, the cis, the colonizer, etc.). 3 Arrow's criticism is empty and can be applied to himself or pretty much to any ideological position that stands to have any opposition to any other ideological group. Its actually worse since wokeism notoriously presupposes biases and malice to people based on gender, race, etc. (CRT is a clear example of this). Another cardinal difference being ignored is how Peterson can demonstrate how what he criticizes 1) exists and 2) is wrong. The Nazis never managed to demonstrate the existance of anything they called "jewish bolshevism". And lets not forget: 3 arrows' greatest dishonesty here in equating Peterson to "nazi" is in that Peterson's approach to solving societal issues is through debate, dialogue, scientific enquiry, and a fair treatment, without coercion, for all involved. This was not the Nazi way. 3 Arrows' side however is very quick (and intellectually weak) to proptly call for the use of force or a means of cancellation against their ideological opponents, much like the Nazis. 3 Arrows is closer to the Nazis than Peterson could ever be, his cherrypicking notwithstanding.
@@sedoskovelha123 Why do your parents continue to let you use the internet. If you don't stop with this behavior im gonna have to call up your mom and tell her what you've been up to. And you know what that means if I tell her. No more internet, no more fortnite and your friends cant come over anymore. You dont wanna get paddled again do you?
Peterson isn't even a good source on psychology (lol @ the Jungian bullshit), yet he consistently talks about stuff completely outside his field of expertise, and unlike other scholars clearly hasn't bothered to learn about them. I know quite a few profs in the hard sciences whose greater curiosity and intellectual integrity make them better sources on the social sciences, history and politics than Peterson.
You hit on a good point here. Peterson is a clinical psychologist. But his real passion is to come up with a grand unified theory of how people think. He tries to incorporate everything from biology to history to religion. Needless to say, it leaves him spread a little thin. His first book "Maps of Meaning" I believe illustrates this obsession. Don't get me wrong, I've learned a lot from Peterson and respect his heart for helping people.
Who said Germans don't have a sense of humor? Germans are fucking hilarious! The language barrier makes their jokes sound boring and weird, but if you understand a bit of German you'll see how clever their humour actually is. Also, many Germans play into the stereotype to make you laugh so they'll give you some dry ass humor in English on purpose just to annoy you. I've had German friends in the past and I even have German relatives (not blood related).and they all do the same thing lol
A friend of mine gave me my favourite quote regarding Jordan Peterson: "In reality, the longer you're away from the internet, the less important Jordan Peterson actually is"
@The Black Templar You're aware that Donald Trump is the President of the US, and therefore is extremely important, in his function, even without internet?
@The Black Templar For domestic policies, that is true (for the most parts), however Trumps foreign policies do affect the rest of the world, and thus the individual life of everyone outside the US, even if it's not immediately clear how it does. A good example would be his policies on trade and environmentalism. Sometimes these policies also just take a lonnger time to be felt by the common people.
A thumbs up wasn't enough. I had to add this compliment as well. Peterson's interpretation of Nazi "mayhem" is through his own badly biased perspective. The Nazis were very well organized. We can discern the depth of their atrocity partially because they kept such good records! From their perspective, the Jews, homosexuals, gypsies, communists, atheists were the ones sewing disorder. Thus you can demonize and dehumanize anyone who disagrees with your orderly agenda.
It just goes to show that there is nothing Jordan Peterson won't admit to being "the guy" to ask on the subject. He's a psychologist and yet I have heard very little of his ideas on psychology, but rather his OPINIONS on history, philosophy and politics. He's a quack.
And I resent the implication that appreciating JP's content makes me a "follower." Good luck with your room. Just cleaned mine a few days ago - 'twas a struggle.
Itay Shimonov By not answering it? Is that what you mean. A little weird for a man willing to consider all ideas in the market place of ideas. I wonder why they haven't considered if we should eat babies yet. A lot of starving in the world, that question should be settled
No.... It's just funny that it got to a point where people who follow him think that he's with them in following that doctrine..... If people who I influenced started floating the idea of ethnic cleansing, I would reevaluate everything about myself and try to discover why so many Nazi sympathizers are attracted to me in such a positive way....
Well his entire argument is sort of sketchy there: the left doesn't want a dialogue (which is categorically incorrect not to mention, that the left isn't all that homogenic), but if they do search a dialogue, then they are being manipulative about that, so it's bad, and if I engage into it, I automatically loose (which is again kinda like "what?" I mean, sure, if I talk to people, I want to convince them of my ideas through arguments and that's how a dialogue works, if you feel manipulated by that, then well it's actually you who deosn't want to debate your ideas)
On what I said about Petersons argument? After reading a bit about him and watching some of his debate, it's kinda like his trademark when it comes to political discussion: simply put he cannot have one unless the person he is talking to, has the same opinion. This is especially showcased when it comes down to LGBT rights and specifically to trans and non-binary people and his straight up refusal to accept them. His argument on this stance - and I assume the clip shown here was also one from a debate about LGBT, feminism and so on, since he throws in the word patriarchy a lot, in a sort of buzz word sense here - is simple refusal. He tries to hide it behind some free speech sort of thing, but in reality the clip where he just sort of yells in frustration "I'm not gonna do this" is exactly what he means: Ressentiment. And especially when it comes down to these topics he portrays the left as an enemy of his, it's like the left would be some hive mind sort of thing and totalitarian in the stance, which might be true for some individuals, like you will find people with authoritarian personalities (Adorno) everywhere, the left is of course no exception, but first of all that doesn't invalidate anything and second, if you really think that they are wrong you could still debate them if you have better arguments at hand, which he ofc doesn't do as explained previously why. So instead he twists his argument around, that if you talk to the hive-minded left, you're essentially courting them and agreeing to their assumptions, that's what he means by playing the game. It's kinda like debating a 9/11-inside-job-conspiracy-theorist under the assumption, that 9/11 was an inside job, in his perspective, which implies, that this patriarchal society thing is for him nothing more then a hoax and probably a lot of other things that come from social sciences. So debating the left is for him, the same thing as giving into their arguments, which is kind of silly really, because this is not a internet conspiracy here we're talking about, but actually academics, unless you have the Thunderf00t syndrome and resent anything but natural sciences as a form of science, although I don't really believe that Peterson would say that. However his inability to discuss such matters, while hiding behind twisted arguments and straw-manning kinda discredits him as a discussion partner rather then the left, as he portrays that to be the case.
I can't blame many falling for Peterson's BS, depending on the sampling of the "SJW left" they've been exposed to. And of course some people will even nit-pick those in order to generalize either "SJWs" or the left in general. The left-wing's "moral panics" only create a niche for "intellectuals"/celebrities like Peterson. And it may even be somewhat of a self-reinforcing cycle, as hysterical petersonites/right-wingers may trigger more hysterical SJWness and associated leftism.
Don't confuse rational - sane with rational - process. Even an insane person engages in a rational process, it's just that the leaps between points are themselves irrational to an outside perspective. In other words, you can come up with a process that goes: I have black friends....so I'm not a racist....but I talk about racism and black advancement alot....and disavow it whenever I can...but I also have black friends....so I'm not a racist. That actual process is, in and of itself, rational because it describes the exact steps involved in order to reach said conclusion. That's different than being rational ie each point based upon a independent and proven point able to sustain the thought chain throughout. Again, even irrational people's thought processes go through a 'rational' process linking themselves together. Just because you don't agree with their psychological or scientific validity or end result does not mean there is no rationality involved.
@@god-of-war-fan no, peterson said that their actions were irrational. They were actually very logical given the premises they worked with.

I’ve spent a ton of time watching Jordan Peterson content and my greatest question to the Peterson fanboys is if everyone misrepresents his beliefs, why doesn’t Peterson make those beliefs clear and define them? My assumption is by being vague he can sell more books, but I don’t know for sure
you're on point, but if you read his book you might be even more supprised what he is actually selling - the chapter titles are not what they chapters are about
Paweł Wolnicki I would definitely be interested in doing that, but if my assumption is correct I really don’t want to support the man with my patronage. If I ever befriend someone who I found out has it I’ll probably ask to borrow it
@@macb6528 it's not just that he can sell more books, it is that he safes himself from being called out and making it easier for him to make strawmans, take for example the Cathy Newman interview where he keeps saying vague stuff and when she calls him out on the underlying presumptions, he quickly dodges the bullet and says he didn't mean that whileall his fans go mental for how well he "disses" her
JP has become a tool. I feel sorry for him, he think it means he is famous and has something important to bring to the table. Not so JP, you're just a tool.

That´s what JP fanbase is like. A balanced, well-rounded critique of JP´s views, that even encourages the watcher to check the original lecture to make sure it is not taken out of context. And yet, it got more than 3000 dislikes. Since almost all the people hating on this video in the comments are bringing up strawmans that are addressed later in the video, one has no choice but to assume they didn´t watch the video at all. I thought that it was crucial to put everything in context and study the whole amount of someones work to critisize them. You can´t have it both ways, JP fans!
Jirka Zalabák because even though he said that he still misrepresented Peterson at every single opportunity. He starts the video off by poisoning the well and basically deciding how you’ll enjoy this video. You’re either already with this leftist ideologue or you’re not. He framed it that way and that’s the way everyone is taking it, unsurprisingly.
Jirka Zalabák im not criticizing three arrows I’m criticizing this lazy shit video. So no I don’t need to know all about three arrows but he does need to know everything about JP if he’s going to misrepresent literally his character and almost everything he stands for.
Here´s an advice. Maybe, just maybe, if Peterson doesn´t want to be misrepresented so much, he could use his own advice, and be more "precise" in his speech. I just love the fact that Peterson fans always tell you that you are misrepresenting their Jesus, and that you need to watch more of him to understand him better, but when you ask three people to explain to you how exactly you misrepresented him, or what his real opinions are, you get three completely different explanations. I just don´t think that this would happen with someone who is "precise" in their speech.
Yeah, which is precisely why he says that he "doesn´t think that Peterson is a Nazi or anything...". Or "he doesn´t make any excuses for Nazis or portray them positively in any way...". You need to watch the video buddy.
Yes, but worse: he's primarily an entertainer now. Just like a "pundit" that amuses people with their opinions. Opinions are his medium of amusement. Just like prancing in a clown suite is Chuckles the Clown's medium. In that regard he's no different than Chuckles, or Lil Tay, Lena Dunham, Alex Jones, Kevin Williamson, Kathy Griffin, Jerry Falwell Jr, Stormy Daniels, or Colin Kaepernick. His opinions about the professional amusement industry (and psychology) are perhaps a cut above. But his opinions about anything else should be viewed as amusingly expressed perhaps, but no more inherently valuable than those of others in the amusement industry.
I get weird looks when I’m playing this in my stereo and there’s a super German guy talking about the “Jewish Question” and “International Jewry” 😂 Seriously though thank you so so much for this. I’ve always said when someone knows what they’re talking about it becomes more apparent the longer they talk. You always teach me something new.
@MordredTheMightyMetalhead Three Arrows doesn't "rationalize the holocaust", he's just placing it in context. Saying something happened for clearly defined reasons isn't rationalizing; "rationalizing" is making excuses for something to justify ones participation in questionable actions at the expense of admitting the real reasons.. Three Arrows very clearly doesn't do the latter.
"By pathologizing perpetrators we assure ourselves we can never become like them." Brilliant. Modern society has a tendency to label nazis or similarly destructive individuals in human history as evil, distancing them, and more importantly, their hate, from us. My belief is that while we most definetely haven't done the things they did, we all hate one way or another. It's a hard thing to do, to look at oneself and recognize the times we've been racist, sexist, hateful in any way. But it's an important thing to do, because we can't fix a problem we don't acknowledge. If we don't recognize the existance of hate within us, we'll never be able to face it, change it. Simply labeling such actions as evil is an effort to ignore their underlying causes and more importantly, an effort to not face them. That, in a way, is the real purpose society gives to the concept of evil; it's an escapegoat from our own demons.
"... I think it was developed by Jung." - as if he doesn't absolutely know that it was derived from Jung and that he has a room in his house devoted to a shrine to him
Even his "clean your room" tier stuff is framed as political prescription. There is a pretty explicit message in it that you should not engage with large scale change since you can't change the world and would do harm if you tried. Instead you should just focus on yourself and try and be happy with your situation. It's a pretty fucked worldview, that if you follow it to its conclusion would involve be telling black protestors in mid 20th century USA to sit down and be quiet and just work on themselves. And the same to suffragettes in Europe, or factory workers in the industrial Revolution striking for safe working conditions, or Republicans in France wanting to abolish the injustice of monarchy, or plebians in ancient Rome fighting against the rigid caste system, and so on and so on. And yet when you look at those things, they are key to the "Western" tradition of striving for equality that Peterson claims to promote. One of his stated beliefs conflicts with the other, and in the end I think it's because neither is true. In reality he's just a bog standard conservative who wants the darn lefties to stop trying to change things, but he's learned that faux self help is a better vehicle for getting that message across to a receptive audience than just saying it would be.

This video is probably one of the most honest and well thought out criticism of Peterson. No wonder they tried so hard to get this video taken down and your account banned.
Come on, an algorithm took it down because it was talking about nazis and that's that. Whatever took this video down didn't look even once at the context of who this video was criticising, and arguably the overreactive algorithms are in place to censor people who want to discuss taboo topics such as Peterson, and guess what, that now includes channels this channel as well as other history channels who are beginning to be censored. We're all under attack from the same reckless censors and it's time to stand up together against it rather than continue this pointless finger pointing.
@I Control My Fate Which is completely hypocritcal of them if they want to complain about censorship of Peterson. My point still stands, censorship and abuse of flagging affects both sides, stop pointing fingers.
JP is full of.... feelings. And too sure of himself. He keeps saying he has "thought about this for over many years, over thirty years" says that about all subjects he mentions, and mentioning it is not even solving it ---it is only describing it.
because these are difficult problems, and his job is not primarily to find a solution but to look at all the factors and deeply inspect the problem to try to understand them fully, it is only when you know the disease that you can start to try to cure it.
@@prime7412 What??? What use is it to mention the issues... we all know the social issues of inequality and men raised by single mothers creating a crisis of masculinity, and femininity, we all already know what third wave feminism is creating, we already know all issues he mentions, including the issue of modern hierarchies naturally occurring because of biology, the lobster thing and all that, so yea these are old old systems; men have been vying for position for reproductive rights and social position forever, we all know those things, so women denying that and at the SAME TIME choosing or preferring those males with high social status and resources, is bullshit, any half wit can notice that... so besides REMINDING us of those things, what NEW issues has he solved or mentioned... even his "self-authoring program" is basic shit, you need to have goals and is better if you write them down, so to do that you have to THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE some, and this issue is also the result of the new soy boys raised by modern feminism... he also mentions the MODERN issue of consent and the issues women have choosing careers over having kids, but we already knew it, he has no SOLUTIONS to it all.. and that is all I said... YOU said his job is to think DEEPLY about these issues, but all that deep thinking over thirty years of reading has given him no solutions?? I really want to hear something new... even the thing about working with women and that being a new paradigm where men don't know exactly how to deal with women and their trespasses at work, since men know where the line is and woman don't, all that is already known, and again NO solution to it other than "we just have to muddle through it..." well, dah!! I repeat: JP is a very LIKEABLE engaging speaker, and even I would say motivational, so that is not what I am after, he can keep filling stadiums full of people who like motivational speakers, but after listening to all those talks, I still have to ask, OK so we knew those issues existed, what are the solutions?? and we come out with none of that, none. Please tell me a solution he has given that we DIDN'T ALREADY KNOW??
@@prime7412 Hell, he is like the coach in the half game talk trying to inspire the players to go out there and win... but they already want to win, so the talk is reinforcing that, and that is it. If the coach could tell them HOW to win it, other than they have been playing, that would be helpful, since the players already know the problem specially if they are losing the game.

He brings the spotlight around. Thought you find these things to be a "well duhh" scenario many people don't. And since common sense isn't all that common anymore it is inportant that he says these things and that he is so critical of all "solutions" because lets be honest most of them are poorly thought out. P.s. big props for writing that whole thing, jesus it was long.

@@edmondantes4338 I do like jordan peterson quite a bit myself, but when I first watched the "how Hitler was more evil than you think" video I began to understand the limitations of his own knowledge, it's easy to assume the factuality of something based solely on the speaker but I have to remind myself to always question the ideas presented beyond their own field of expertise
@@edmondantes4338 I would disagree with that honestly.

The idea of “male” representing “order” and “female” representing “chaos” is a Jungian concept that Peterson is borrowing. “Masculine” and “feminine.” Two polarities. One “positive” and the other “negative.” It’s an idea popular in late 19th century and early 20th century. Probably why it sounds out of place to use it now.
@@BobTheTrueCactus to add to your point- it's absolutely correct that yin and yang is the concept of the polarities of thing that are related yet opposed; however, the way that Yin, representing things like coldness, softness, moon and other (more interesting things) like chaos, deception, uncleanliness... became associated with "femininity" and the female reproductive organs still largely reflect the misogynistic quality of Chinese history.
The problem being that Peterson never said that order is positive and chaos is negative. When he talks about the subject he always stresses that the best place to be is with one foot in order and one foot in chaos. You need both. The idea that chaos is negative is a projection from other people onto him.
I'm reminded of ancient Greeks writing about women being these society-wrecking forces of nature in spite of not having rights or political power or anything. It has this subtle smack of "I had everything handled and my world was organized and made sense when I was doing all the hard work of making you do all the housework with no recourse while I get to live as a free person, but now you've come barreling into my perfect ordered life like some maelstrom of chaos trying to change things, wanting to also be treated like a human with rights and other garbage like that."
It's strange to me to watch his lecture clips because I went to U of T during that time. It is one of the best institutions for the study of Jewish history in the world. A meer 2 floors above him is the history department where some of the world's strongest Jewish historians work. Any of them would of let him borrow their copy of Arendt's, "banality of Evil" if he had just asked lol
I still contend that, while you cannot infer motivation from outcomes, you can eliminate potential motives by analyzing reactions to outcomes. For instance, while I would not call Jordan Peterson a Nazi or a fascist, I can infer that he is more concerned with the right to be dismissive than he is concerned that his arguments may support Nazi or fascist Ideology.
I think Peterson is one of those conservatives who legitimately believes that protesters being annoying is the greatest evil in the world, and that one of the greatest tasks a man can undertake is to prove that protesters have nothing to protest about. They just hate people who fight against the status quo, especially the ones who have personally inconvenienced them. I genuinely don't think it's deeper than that. Every development beyond that is just a justification.
I remember how I first got into contact with the Lobster. It was with his Cathy Newman interview and the Real-Time appearance. Then I watched a bit more and also read 12 rules for life. And while I scoffed at some of the more problematic aspects (I was raised in a social-democratic and socially progressive household in Germany after all), it helped me overcome some issues I had. I'm a biologist and have a healthy working knowledge of most major Stem fields and so when I then heard him talking about climate change I was like ... wow, if he is this horribly wrong on a subject I do understand - not just with his conclusions, but also displaying a clear lack of competence when interpreting basic research data - then how wrong is he, when it comes to subjects I don't know enough about and would just take him at his word. The next thing I saw of him was the video you were addressing and I was like ... holy shit, this is embarrassing. You don't need to be a university student in a history undergrad class, to see how little he actually knows and how grossly he misrepresents Nazi ideology, but just a basic German high school education which makes it even sadder. I paused the video and found yours in the recommendations and it was a cathartic experience. Thanks for doing what you do. I don't think, I was never in any real danger of going down the Alt-Right pipeline, but I'm nevertheless happy that I realized their bullshit before they got a real opportunity to hook me in. Your videos, as well as Shawn's and many other Breadtubers, made a difference in my life. And that's awesome!
The main problem is with Peterson is he thinks he’s so much more educated than he is even on things like psychology And his fan base wanking him off doesn’t help by saying he is like 150-160 Iq and stupid shit like that
@@keyan1219 More educated than he thinks he is in psychology? Yeah teaching at Harvard is nothing. He doesn't have a CV with a list of publications in high ranking journals the size of a Dovestky novel either. ;) That being said he does sometimes speak outside of his expertise.
@@Daniel-yv6jh I am asking the same thing. He worked with the IPCC. His comments on climate change have been what has posited by many economists for a long time. Bringing people to a certain level of economic wealth allows to worry about the environment and things like clean water over just trying to get water, food, and shelter. It is no coincidence the richest nations in the world are the ones engaging in fighting climate change.
@@johnweatherby8718 But psychology is a larger field than just clinical psychology. Peterson often make highly dubious claims in other parts of psychology, as shown clearly by cognitive psychologist Cass Eris here on TH-cam.
Definitely really nice to get out of the right wing echo chamber I’ve been stuck in kind of refreshing to hear an intellectual challenge some of the views I hear so often :)
You should look up "Rationaility Rules" on youtube. He's done 4 (I believe, doing this, and his name, from memory) vids criticising JBP sofar. All well researched and very in depth.
I've already seen his stuff. It's great criticism from a different political perspective. I don't agree with everything he says but I appreciate his process. It's far less antagonistic. I actually found him from his David Mitchell Debunking video.
Mant111 in what ways is it biased? Of course, everyone’s a little bit biased, but from your comment I assume you’re saying that he’s very biased? And my question is, how is he extremely biased?
There were something like 4-5 big instances in which it was obvious the author was pushing for a narrative of what JBP "was" rather than exposing what he actually is. It's been too long since I watched this vid (and I'm certainly not listening to it again) so feel free to doubt my claim. The one I can still remember is when JBP comments about gypsies I think, under the nazi regime, using one of the phrases they used as an example to then dissect of their ideology.... and that the author here treated the comment as if it came out of JBP's own mind and he agreed with it. Bleah.
I will say that the whole "if you can't determine what motivates someone directly, look at the outcome and then infer the motivation is terrible historically." History depends heavily on primary sources, meaning that it requires direct textual or witness-based evidence from someone who was at the event in question or had direct knowledge of that event. Secondary sources look people writing about said event, usually with the support of primary sources. These two types of source, combined together, help build our historical understanding and in the absence of the said two types of sources, we can infer and know nothing. Furthermore, to infer the motivation of a historical figure via the outcome of their actions is very weak methodology for historical understanding. For one, it requires that we assume a historical figure has more control over the outcome of a historical event. In reality, very few exercise such control and even those who do have such control lose it eventually. In most cases, historical figures are not just acting on the world, but also reacting to it and sometimes events happen that they can't predict nor control. It also creates an absurd opportunity for subjective speculation to mix with fact and call itself objective. People are subjective creatures and if they simply infer the motivation via the outcome, they will think not as the historical figure's did within their respective times, but within the confines of their own modern interpretation. Thus, history and historical accuracy is lost. Jordan Peterson may be an excellent psychologist, but he is terrible at history.
Eli Drummond That's because christianity isn't an ideology. One has to actually understand "something" (and it's consequences) before jumping to criticising. In your example the Bible.
@@jamiehardt3061 No. What you don't get is Peterson's perspective, which is the "human condition".Actually what you call narratives and stories are incredibly important, because many complex "concepts" especially ideologies, could be reduced to their most basic narratives and by that, revealing their effect, on the human condition and VERY important, makes them "accessible" (i.e understandable) to large masses, who maybe otherwise would not understand them( i.e they are NOT scholars). They (the narratives) are useful and helpful to humans to emit "judgements" and make decisions based on them. For example fascism and nazism, could be "reduced" to their basic narratives which would be " if you don't mess with us its all good" vs"we will kill you regardless". It IS an oversimplification, but they are true, and accurately represent their true nature and relation towards the human condition. The greatest achievement of the Reformation, could be regarded that it took the Bible (information) out of the hand of the Catholic church and made it accessible to large portions of humanity, effectively ending its monopol (i.e power), also leading to the ending of the tie between the church and the state( aristocracy) Actually marxism is both a teaching and a philosophy and that makes it dangerous( i.e the same danger which lead to the separation of the state and the church) among many many other reasons. Btw it is erroneous the assertion that Christianity is responsible for any of that( ideology). Humans did that, yes they were christians, but that's actually a testament to our( as humans) inability to really comprehend complex "teachings" and also our ability to twist "teachings" Actually our whole history is a testament in that regard. Peterson does not have an ideology. He simply,in a human way cautions against dangers, which he perceives as dangers. Think about a Remarque who is actually taking active steps to prevent the dangers what he described so brilliantly in his books.
@@jamiehardt3061 Again, you "fail" to understand the pov.What's more interesting is that you don't even try:). You talk about the ideological differences( motivation, justification) and I'm talking about their similar relation towards the "human condition" Two very different things. Btw the reprehensibility of nazism lies not "just in the inhumane ideology, but equally the inhumane practices as well, right? Very much so. I'm from a former marxist country, born in 1973. So nazism and communism are NOT two totalitarian ideologies? They are not systematic in their "deeds"? They don't have that in common? Really? Well.... nice. Yes, but you again fail to comprehend its effect ( distribution of information) on the "human condition" on human consciousness and by that the long term "results". You know that wasn't exactly the digital age, so the effects had take some time to show:).Right?..:D Well since you like so much to jump to conclusions and also to scold people over historical accuracy here's one for you. In history context is always king. Marx was a byproduct of his time, don't forget that, along with all what that actually implies.
Really? You know nothing about me, but oh so conveniently jump to all kind of conclusions. Who is telling you to do that? Marx? Really? Did I schooled you or tried to present my perspective as superior to yours? From where is stemming that crazy resistance against acknowledging the common ground? Your first comment seemed actually very wide, but then the ideology kicked in or something? Well here is another one for you, history always had to be looked upon from a neutral perspective otherwise it will become a fairy tale. Nice try btw linking me with all sort of political and other kind of "adjectives" and "concepts" lol. For your information, I was baptised in a a catholic church, but while I do believe in God, I regard faith as independent from religion. Religion could be cultural/habitual even temperamental,political while faith not. Oh btw I'm a former REAL communist. Do you have more adjective related fantasies? I mean besides, let's say Marx.
The Demigod the messy room comment is derived from petersons book where he repackages self help tropes and trojan horses traditionalism, not some direct backhand at the kinds of people who may read him it may seem
The leftist disaffected males are 10x more intelligent than their right wing counterparts. You can still notice them by their grumpy attitude but they actually use critical thinking skills and are more mature.
Aidan Clare Jung was a philosopher-wacko, not a psychologist. Freud was wrong, but at least he had clinical objectives and was interested in medicine and he got the ball rolling on correcting his errors.
I admit I know jack-all about psychoanalysis, but from Jordan Peterson's description of archetypes and his use of them to justify religion and social darwinism, I'd agree.
Aidan Clare Jung was prone to confirmation bias and a lot of other “it sounds good therefore it must be true.” It was the early days of the field, so not surprising that there are errors. Psychology as a field is still horrible about differentiating causation and correlation. Pop psychology (e.g. Myers-Briggs) in particular is borderline if not outright pseudoscience. Jung is sometimes useful as a descriptive tool, but as prediction or explanation it’s taken with a major grain of salt.
I noticed...Peterson says "look at outcomes to infer intent"? So...an outcome of his work is a rabid right wing base. All the haters and rotten folk come to Peterson's yard for his milkshake. Hmmmm...
There was a boxing match. One guy lost. That is the outcome. Therefore that one guy wanted to lose. 8 out of the 9 guys running in the 100m in the Olympics wanted to get precisely the medal or lack thereof that they did.
@@hhiippiittyy Maybe, but seeing how the losing boxer just killed himself and the suicide note found by the police later was quite morose, I'd say probably not. More news at 11.
It's called determining your definitions. In order to understand an argument effectively you have to understand what they mean when they use words that could have multiple meanings within different contexts. As memey as it is, he says that in order to understand and avoid misrepresenting people's arguments.
I think the clip of JBP talking about the Nazis was the first time I really encountered him and I had very much the same thought, yes this guy is calling the Nazis bad but he's doing it in a way that seems to fundamnetally misunderstand, misrepresent, and over-simplify the Nazis, Hitler, and the Nazi state. So basically, thanks for making this video.
@Robert Dimarco His weird talk on the topic has nothing to do with psychology. It had no data whatsoever so we should call it an opinion. It's also absurd as an opinion. The Jews were getting slaughtered at the end of the war because "slave labour" is not efficient if you have to feed them and you have no food. It actually takes resources to prevent revolts. They were also getting killed because the official believe in Nazi Germany is that we are in a racial war. If you kill as many jews as possible you give the biggest chance of your "race" survival. They were the same people that we have now. It's not "chaos" what motivates them. They suffered from the toxic disease of nationalism. They believed they were in a team competing with the other teams. To them it made sense ideologically AND economically.
Jordan Peterson talks about the Enlightenment a lot for someone who peddles so much pseudoscience. And sure, maybe he sees Jungian psychology as a product of the Enlightenment, and in a broad sense it is. But what's important is the Enlightenment isn't some mystical, religious event by which knowledge was bestowed from on high - adoption of reason and science means an ongoing engagement and application of those things. Jungian psychology is pseudoscience - it doesn't arise from a rigorous application of the scientific method. That Peterson continues to clutch onto it shows he has no real commitment to Enlightenment, beyond employing it as a buzzword. You want chaos? Adopt mysticism, adopt Jung, adopt religion - anything can be asserted, anything can be true. You want order? Use the scientific method. Distinguish truth from falsehood.
I came back to this video and something hits me everytime. "We assume that Hitler wanted to win, but that's not a very intelligent assumption, he wasn't exactly a good guy"... This doesn't make any sense. This is a sentence devoid of meaning. There is absolutely no connexion between the different parts of this thought process. And look at Peterson while he says this, look how convinced he is that he's making a cogent point. It's incredible.
No, he refers to the earlier part of the sentence. We assume that his goal and psychologial motivation was to make nazi germany some kind of übermensch utopia or at least save it from defeat (because that was what nazis believed he was doing and he himself claimed that was the ultimate goal). Then we assume that he thought that in order to win and create said utopia he has to exploit and kill jews. Peterson suggests that the assumption is not intelligent because there is more to Hitler's underlying psychological motivation.
@@blubla7675Great to see someone finally getting an understanding of Petersons points before analysing them. So many people on here calling Peterson the fool because THEY don’t understand his point. The irony is hilarious.
@@Exoticsoflondon Not only they don't understand his (Peterson's) point, they also don't understand Three Arrows' point, which was probably the goal of this sharade.
Thanks. It didn't occur to me to google "jordan peterson lobster": theconversation.com/psychologist-jordan-peterson-says-lobsters-help-to-explain-why-human-hierarchies-exist-do-they-90489 www.thestar.com/entertainment/books/2018/01/22/jordan-peterson-on-embracing-your-inner-lobster-in-12-rules-for-life.html Is there some lobster character in some cartoon like Sponge Bob? It would be kind of funny if peteronsonites kind of segregated from Pete-frog avatars with some lobster-character avatar. It's kind of funny that the lobster thing even sounds somewhat "marxist", from skimming "the star" article. I wonder if Peterson would have somehow managed to flip everything the other way around if someone had brought first the lobster "analogy" into some sort of class struggle argument.
Vorawind not going to hold it against Peterson because (some) others do it too? What kind of logic is that? Good professor/scientist standard is to not talk about other fields, even an area in your own field - if you're not an expert! It's not that hard to not act like "know it all" pundit, actually...
In french one or our politicians (known for saying nonsense), nadine morano, said: "I'm not racist, I like couscous and bricks with eggs" .... ( the two are associated with maghrebi cuisine) Descendants of immigration from north africa Algeria Tunisia Morocco... counts the biggest number of muslims in france and here our main right wing discriminatory thing is islamophobia, even centrists now and liberals (right/moderate right/center right spectrum in our definition of liberalism) She also said: "I got a friend that is more black than an arab" and shitty things like that to explain that she's not racist 😥 It was quite long time ago No our own governement members use terms like islamogauchiste... "Islamoleftist" if I traduce...that's sooo nonsense and was only use by far right ridiculous trolls some years ago
I don't doubt he'd condemn it, and he might also take the opportunity to challenge TA for a debate. He doesn't need to play by the rules his minions do, or act consistently with what happens as a result of his charlatan teachings.

Kayvahn literally anyone who genuinely defends free speech has/will defend arrows because they defend free speech, only idiots want content taken down on either side
@@Mant111 not like you're here to make any sort of reasonable arguments but did you ever hear about the piece of shit who murdered 50 Muslims in Christchurch? Turns out he did it because he really hated "cultural marxism".. now, where might he have possibly heard about that phrase?
Actually, it's the far-left TH-cam trust and safety team that reports to Susan Wojcicki who are responsible for this getting removed. The free speech warriors actually want stupid ideas to remain on accessible because it allows people to see what the marketplace of ideas consists of to help uninformed and brainwashed people get redpilled.
After having heard him talk at length about Nazis, I'm convinced that he's never once spoken to an actual historian or stepped into a history class. The way he applies psychology to history is just so wrong
@Cora Well the thing is, a lot can be inferred about history if you know how people work since people are the ones who make history. However, JP isnt a god, nor does he make himself out to be one like most scholars. Because of that, he makes mistakes. I bet you pry would make similar mistakes in similar situations if you didn't 100% major in history.
@@wantedwario2621 then the responsible and intelectually honest thing to do, specialy from a "scholar" is to recognize when you are totally stepping outside your area of expertise.
@@danito1981 First off, it really isn't that far out of his realm of expertise. When talking about and thinking about people, you have to take into account the history of people. Second, the same can be said for absolutely every single person who hasn't studied a field day after day. Lastly, the only reason you say what you said is because of your clear bias against him, and not because you actually intellectually agree with the idea. If the situation was flipped, you would share my same point that i stated in the previous comment for the sake of defending yourself.
@@wantedwario2621 "Second, the same can be said for absolutely every single person who hasn't studied a field day after day" Of course, I don't understand why you need to state this. I would expect the same amount of intelectual honesty from any person regarded a as a respectable scholar. It is not just because he is J. Peterson. "Lastly, the only reason you said what you said is because" Stop right there with your mind reading and your bias divination. I would make the same argument for any "scholar" using wrong facts to prove any point. And no, I wouldn't use your argument to defend myself because it's based in poor critical thinking. He certainly can make any number of mistakes he wants, I understand he is human, but as a scholar it is not a free card for him to make any claim he thinks correct, specialy when it is far from his expertise.
I discovered JP and his videos on the internet roughly a year a ago and took great interest in what he was saying. What I noticed fairly quickly is how hard he is to critize, but at the same time I know he can't be only right in his words. So I decided that I should always look for things to critize him for since it was fairly easy to do the opposite. For this I have also tried looking for youtubers who can do this without having to distort or strawman his views, which is why I am writing this comment. You have made an excellent video and you take up great points showing the other side of the argument. You don't misrepresent his views either which is mostly rare for some reason and then keep brining up very valid points on how he is wrong. I found it enjoyable and entertaining to watch and listen to your arguments but most of all it is refreshing to hear somebody being able to properly tell the man where he is probably wrong. Thank you for having this channel. You've just earned a subscriber and it is fairly few times I do subscribe, even less when I comment!
the reason why is hard to criticize is because he often doesn't take a point and doesn't bring arguments. Contrapoints criticizes him really well in her Jordan Peterson video even if she can be a bit harder to watch for people who aren't used to that particular sense of humor
If you're still looking, Unlearning Economics has a video on Jordan Peterson not understanding the wage gap, and there's another video (though I don't recall the channel off the top of my head) about how he doesn't understand George Orwell. He seems to have an unfortunate habit of dabbling in areas outside his expertise without understanding that he's not an expert in everything -- which is really sad, because from what I've heard his stuff on psychology and self-help has helped a lot of people, but once you realize his "I've read this material, and I understand it extremely well" is just a fancy, "I do my own research," you kind of can't unhear it.
That might be the one thing Peterson is somewhat correct on. When you give up fairy tales, you become pretty pissed off that billionaires make passive income at a rate of thousands of dollars per second.
@@undeadwill5912 doesn't he love to thrown around the term "cultural marxism"? Kind of hard to take an anti-semtic dog whistle out of context. It's a classic paleoconservative talking point kept vague enough to allow for deniability when needed. Also doesn't he like to throw around the Venezuela argument as a talking point against socialism? (Never mind that Venezuela is a Social Democracy, vastly different from pure socialism) While ignoring the FACT that Venezuela was dealt significant economic blows thanks to US sanctions, US backed coups and poor policy in the face of an oil price crash? Doesn't he also define equity as equality of outcome that the left strives for? This is not only practically impossible, but is factually false as most leftists will agree that equality of opportunity is a far more realistic goal. That is the typical consensus you reach when you have a productive discussion/debate between Communists, Liberals and even Centrists. Didn't he also misrepresent bill C-16? I remember when the Canadian BAR association actually had to come out and debunk his talking points because he horribly misrepresented what C-16 was about. Never mind the fact that the law was already in the books five years prior in several provinces, and there were ZERO arrest regarding improper pronoun usage. The bill just applied this on a federal level and yet to this day still no arrests. Of course I may just be taking him out of context so I may need some clarification here.
@@WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot_YT I still don't understand why this new wave of resentment towards Peterson insists that he misrepresented the bill. A The Ontario Human Rights Commission can commence a complaint before a Tribunal, intervene in any existing complaint before the Tribunal on behalf of any complainant, conduct its own inquiries into real or purported breaches of the Code and issue recommendations, and it develops legally binding policies. With the introduction of Bill C-16, the OHRC has the authority to require you to use the words demanded by the bill. To reiterate, OHRC policy requires that persons must use the pronouns required by the portion of transgendered individuals, making that demand effectively constitutes compelled speech. Those not wishing to use those pronouns or not able to use those pronouns due to their beliefs, faith and religion, are afforded no ability to abstain. People can be summoned to a human rights Tribunal if they use the wrong words. Wilfed Laurier University was proof of that. You can say I'm wrong, tell me my facts are irrelevant, but none of that really matters since the bill is already in place. Your speech doesn't matter in this country. Nor does mine.
@@luki907 Because Peterson's hand wringing after the skeptic community picked it up was poor in optics. He knew this but choose to let it run it's course with him benefiting from the media coverage, thus developing detractors. Also in regards to C-16. Nothing in the language was written to COMPEL the use or avoidance of certain words in public. As long as there is no malicious intent behind the words then no law is broken. If a person talks to a transwoman and accidentally calls her a male pronoun, they are not subject to jail time or fines. How ever if they call her a man over and over in a malicious manner or they advocate the death of her and her ilk or publicly incites hatred towards them. Then that clearly is intending to antagonize, and that person violates anti-hate speech laws. All the bill is designed to do is move transgender individuals into an already existing group of protected classes. If Canadians don't like the level of free speech they have in their country then they can elect officials that are more for free speech absolutism. Until then, misconstruing C-16 does not serve a practical purpose in the free speech debate.
@@undeadwill5912 This video links and even encourages you to watch Peterson's lecture to get context for this video. This is a great criticism of Peterson and a fair one
Have you read the bill? The only thing that it does is to make Gender expression/identity a possible motive for inciting hatred or comitting hatecrimes. If you think prohibiting people from calling for example for violence against trans-people is facism you don't know what facism is. How could this little bill even be the tipping point from democracy to literal facism? There were laws agains hate crimes before... just not against hate crimes against trans people (or other gender identitys). Calling for violence against trans people is in no way crucial to free speech.
Nicholas Weise If you keep escalating like this I won't be bothered to respond.... anyway: I allready explained that this bill neither dictates language, other than blatant hatespeech, and miss gendering doesn't fall under hatespeech and thus is as legal as it has always been. Shouldn't we decide from a bill to bill basis and not call the prohibition of a certain kind of hatespeech the literal doom of mankind? You seem to be very fixated on freedom... but how free can one be if other people have the freedom to literally call for violence and genocide against you? Isn't that something the state/Society should prevent to ensure freedom to live an individualistic free live?
Lets see if a lobster trips and falls out of it's echo chamber and shows up here and comments "Oh No! You are understanding JP all wrong! That's not what he meant!".
Thanks for this, I have listened to Peterson a lot and enjoy his content, but was looking for a critical view on him... I fully agree here, his focus on symbols and religious templates is frustrating sometimes.
He interprets everything through psychoanalysis - not a system that can generate reproducible real results. It can only generate reproducible theoretical results, and these results only mean something within the particular psychoanalytic framework used.
Menno, I advice you to listen to what biologists say about Jordan Peterson as well. He is just so fundamentally wrong about so many things. I also want to challenge you with this: Have you actually read up on Karl Jung which Jordan Peterson adores? IMHO it puts Peterson in perspective. Karl Jung peddles Depak Chopra style New Age mumbo jumbo. I say mumbo jumbo, because having a father who is into this I have seen how crazy this stuff is. My father was also a Karl Jung fan. Karl Jung, and thus by extension Jordan Peterson is VERY far away from mainstream science in the understanding of psychology and the human mind. Remember he hails from a time when psychologists had no way of actually introspecting and analyzing the human brain. Today we have CAT scans, MRI and a host of other methods to connect human behavior to physical processes in the brain we can observe. Jordan Peterson is really peddling pseudo science. But as a well read scholar, your average debater knows to little about this stuff to confront him, and thus he often scores points in debates.
@@cikazoki People who are wrong about a great number of things can still be right about a bunch of other things. Sometimes you can even help people while being wrong. For instance a lot of alternative medicine is bogus but it can still help people due to the placebo effect. We humans depend a lot of people listening to us and taking us serious. Someone like Jordan Peterson can in principle help you a lot simply by listening to you. The problem is when Jordon Peterson is able to help you in one aspect of your life and then you treat him as some sort of infallible God afterwards. People worship Jordan Peterson because he confirms a lot of their prejudice and biases.
Not just Nazism, the guy doesn't really understand much of anything outside his own specific field. But he knows how to be eloquent. of course he's also very shrewd in using media. He cannot seriously debate with someone other than talk show hosts. His conversation with Zizek was embarrassing. He didnt say jackshit.
I know you likely won't read this, but I think what you're doing is extremely important. I appreciate your integrity and dedication to truth. I also love the unique perspective you bring as a German, given how much Germany is used as a right wing talking point. Keep up the good work my friend!
I wasnt awarw that germany is suddleny a crime ridden papadise of the corrupt. The far right movements seem to be a problem thou, not the immigration. That sounds like propaganda and being hyperbolic about minor issues. Germany looks far better than the us honestly.
Either Jordan doesn't know about what happened in the camps, or Jordan was implying that the 'slaves' should have been valued more in a logical setting because they are property, people keep care of their property. So because the suffering of the Jewish people was more important than winning the war that's how Jordan could have drawn his conclusion that the nazies were producing chaos rather than unethical order. Teaching a psychology class might be different than teaching a history class.
Sulli11 the problem with that is because he has no historical grounds for whatever psychoanalysis he's doing of a large group of mostly dead people all he can do is attribute psychopathy. That covers for the actual motivation and makes it really easy to say "oh well it's never happening again"
This video is technically correct about historical facts. But while the topic is superficially the same as Peterson’s, they are discussing completely different subjects. I don’t know if “straw manning” is the appropriate term, as that seems to imply some intentionality, but this guy is quibbling about things that neither prove nor disprove what Peterson is saying.
The idea that JBP de-radicalizes these young men is ridiculous. His writings paint every little thing as a facet of some sort of inter-civilizational struggle. If an impressionable person with right-wing views were to read about this, how do you think this makes them view their ideological opposites? As the enemies of civilization.
@_jeff _ the idea that your political opponents are trying to destroy society is the ideological parallel between Peterson and the Nazis that was hinted at in the video. If a group is supposedly trying to harm society that can be used as justification for atrocities. It's the parallels we see with right wing politics under Trump. If you see illegal immigrants as a threat to society you can justify locking them up, or with Muslims someone can justify civilian deaths because Fox news told them Muslims all hate America.
We don't really have to infer anything "I probably shouldn't say this but . . . I found a way to monetize SJWs" -Jordan Peterson (real quote, referring to him using attacking "SJWs" to get anti-sjws to give him money) He's a grifter playing with fire...and by fire, I mean far-right and even Nazi political rhetoric.

I've always wanted to ask a psychologist about this: JP seems to fetishize Jung as if that guy was the only relevant psychologist and as if Jung's ideas were flawless. Is Jung even relevant/useable today?
@@tilltronje1623 Now I am not a pschologist myself, but from what I have picked up from my mother, who is specialised in childrens psychology, the field has advanced so much since her promovation that she could basically throw out most of the older books she owns. I do not know If she means that literally as there is surely always something to be learnt even from outdated theory/research, but maybe thats just my social science brain and it is infact mostly useless. Is the question though wether or not you should literally take old research and directly apply it to research/practice the answer would probably be a hard no. I am not a professional myself though, so I do hope somebody else chimes in, specifies and corrects me If needed.
@@layla8830 thanks. I know you cannot use him directly. He was not even a psychologist to begin with. What I was wondering was wether there is anything he can be used for. JP is already obviously wrong for fetishizing him and basically building his entire worldview on him but I was asking wether there is even a slither of usefulness to the guy
"Always look to outcomes to determine intent" If that's true from JP then we can infer that his intent is to misinform swaths of confused teenagers to a point where they will never come in contact with coochie.
The last word in this title could have been just about anything. Nazism, Marxism, Socialism, almost any aspect of economics. EDIT: For all his talk of reaching out for a dailogue, Peterson has ignored Richard Wolff's challenge to a public debate since about 2018.
The funny thing is that Peterson actually uses the same logic to decry the leftists’ advocating for socialism in the face of unjust socialist implementations in government. Peterson says that anyone who believes that Socialism can work now even though there haven’t been many successful implementations of the ideology is self aggrandizing and immoral, since they are placing personal speculations over raw history. And here, Peterson is doing just that to prove his very flawed point about Hitler.
Peterson didn't cut that clip. It's from a 2hr Psychology lecture, the 13th in a series. In context of the previous lectures it is not as weak an argument as it seems in just the small clip, as at that point he's assuming everyone listening to him has heard him talk about the Nazis in more detail hours and hours over the past 12 lectures, so he's summarizing at that point. The "mayhem" he speaks of *IS* the explicitly stated prioritization of the destruction of the Jews over "winning the war" (as seen by the allies). I have seen all his personality lectures, and nothing of the history presented here is in conflict with Peterson's views. See also: th-cam.com/video/XY7a1RXMbHI/w-d-xo.html Over the lecture series he refers to much of the same sources as this video. The Peterson Fan Channel or however it's called are morons for cutting that clip.

As your loyal subscriber and a disaffecred young male with a messy room, I am deeply offended by this broad sexist generalisation! ... ... Sarcarm, because someone would believe I'm saying it seriously.
A great video. Peterson's lack of understanding of historical nazis and nazism is likely why he doesn't understand the ways his own views are sympathetic with today's nazis. Furthermore, he lacks a lot of understanding of military efficiency if he thinks holding prisoners and slaves is less costly than outright murder. I can't speak to his psych expertise, the general impression I've gotten from the statements of other professionals is that he seems ok as a practitioner but derivative as an academic. But in history and political thought, the guy is atrocious. It's one thing to disagree. But he makes such caricatured statements about the left resulting in a complete fundamental attribution error. And his statements on history ignore all facts and the progression of understanding of historical actors. If I were to discuss and critique his psychology work, he would rightly tell me that I am unqualified to do so. He should similarly leave other subjects to their respective practitioners.
Hey, I just had to leave a comment here today, as I was reflecting on what content I was watching and got recommended in my teen years six years ago, when I was a quite lonely, vulnerable feeling white guy. This video might not be of any special signifance to you, but I think for me it was a huge impact and the first time I was confronted with Peterson, even before actually ever seeing any of his content. It shielded me from falling into a conservative-media rabbit hole and instead try to find answers among liberals and eventually leftists, as I know I might have been gullible for it back then. Video essays like this one are important, especially in this time where the alt-right floods the internet with bullshit to prey on people, especially men in a vulnerable state to propose bigotry as an easy solution to their problems, and I cant thank you enough for making it. That you got to me back then before they did.
Duncan McDougall I disagree. He is misleading by sticking a bunch of short clips together in an attempt to suggest that the Peterson’s only objection to the Nazis was their incompetence in waging war. I have read a number of histories of the war and the era. They all agree that the Nazis were incompetent. Someone else on this vid left a comment that the students should have been instructed in the history of the era. But he is a psychologist teaching Psychology at the University of Toronto, He could hardly convert his class into pure history. He may have said a lot than this misleading man had led us to believe. Notice many clips are only a sentence or two long. I doubt he gives links to the videos he used. Don’t be fooled by this man, he has deliberately set out to make Peterson look like he’s alt right. That is ridiculous. The video maker is not arguing in good faith.
Duncan McDougall I suggest reading about the war, Try Richard Evan’s three part history, although there are many. If you honestly did know the few facts this man presented (once he got off Peterson, is comments on the war seem to be correct.) If you did know this please read a proper history. This man was so deceptive about Peterson I wouldn’t trust him. I didn’t listen past about ¾ of the way through as I already know the history of the era.

@@dan1561 It's a good thing he didnt watch the end because it's the worst part. He claims the speaker pathologizes the perpetrators and didnt follow a logical worldview and that is bad because then we wont believe the same thing could happen again perpetrated by normal people--even one of us. This is ridiculous because this is one of the points the speaker makes that was even shown in the beginning of the video - that anyone is potentially capable of the evil of nazis. Then he goes on to claim and/or strongly infer the speaker believes all his enemies or those who disagree with him won't even talk to him and aren't acting fair, etc and he does this by taking clips out of context, clips where the speaker was discussing disruptive "shut down" protesters at his talks who use loud noise, what noise generators, fire drills, and bad faith tactics to shut down the very discussions and debate, even with people who disagree with the speaker and who refuse to engage at all...then he claims that this is dangerous because it's like the nazis and then he claims I dont think the speaker is a nazi. Lmao. Ok.
Frankly, you might both be somewhat wrong. Your sources might underestimate the role, nutritition played in the holocaust by stating the (misleading) thought that the Germans were well nourished. This might be true for the Germans, but the Axis-territory as a whole was heavily dependent on soviet imports of food at least since 1940. A quote from de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungerplan#Protokoll_der_Staatssekret%C3%A4re-Besprechung,_2._Mai_1941 translated to English: "On February, the 14th, Herbert Backe, Secretary of the State explained in the Ministry for Nutrition and Agroeconomy, a 'collapse of the nutrition would occur within the second year of the war, as it did in 1918.'" From the same page about a document regarding the role of nutrition for the start of the war with the soviets: "Christian Gerlach has shown in his study of 1999 about the German occupation policy in Belarus, that the document's role for the occupation policy in the Soviet Union was not sufficiently understood." The document states, that "1) The war is only to be continued, if the totality of the German Army can be nourished from Russian Territory within the third year of the war. 2) Millions of people will perish, if we take from the country, what we need for ourselves." Long story short: The intention of Hitler might have been to make the Axis independent of food imports from a potential competitor who might like to cut them later on anyways. The trade agreement between Hitler and Stalin at the time states that the Germans mainly imported food and resources, while the Soviets mainly imported advanced parts for military equipment from Germany. Hitler did most likely see this as a sign of military weakness, and thus a good moment to attack. (The Axis' food storage was fading even with soviet imports.)
I am confused by reading the comments section. A lot of people seem to think that what Peterson says at the end of the video (around 18:00) is that if he talks with the left, then he loses. I don't know if this is also Three Arrows' interpretation of Peterson. But, if that is the case, he is completely wrong. See the context of the conversation (as it appears in the video): Peterson: "they regard the idea [some leftists] [...] that if you're in one power group and I'm in another [...] we can´t step out of that group, engage in a dialogue, have our worlds meet, and produce some sort of understanding of [...] of negotiated understanding. No! That's part of [...] your oppressive patriarchal game! That [...] whole idea is part of your game so if I even engage in the dialogue I'm playing your game, you win then." You can also see that that interpretation is wrong when you see that Peterson has criticised the left for their closeness to dialogue. Honestly, what the fuck is going on here?
Ideological blinders, ignoring context, assuming the worst, you know the rest... The saddest thing is that Three Arrows' understanding of Nazism is pretty close to Peterson's.
Jordan Peterson: "Giving platform to marxists? Well how about no? What if we gava platform to nazis, just because they say we are different now!" Also Jordan Peterson: "I am totally a pro free speech guy". Also Jordan Peterson: *embracing white supremacists and ethnic-cultural supremacists*

"Nazis just need a father figure"
@@LowestofheDead But what if the Nazi is the father figure?
It's important to note that it wasn't just the Romani, Jews and disabled that were victims of the holocaust; Slavs, homosexuals, Spanish republicans, leftists and a number of religious groups were also victims. These victims are often overlooked and it's important to remember them.
In my opinion Nazi racial theory and eugenics gives a pretty clear understanding of their motivation and rationale, to say anything else is historically, and academically, dishonest in my opinion. Jordan Peterson makes a terrible historian given that he uses history to support his opinion rather than forming an opinion from studying history.

Depends on your culture, in german speaking countries these facts are well known, even if people do develop a resistance to the knowledge because of many reasons which are more or less understandable. But e.g. Bonhoeffer is a big name in protestant churches, and very actively remembered.
"Leftists and progressives are Nazis"
Which leftist policies would the Nazis support? California making it easier to vote and giving prisoners voting rights? Decreasing police and military spending to fund social programs? Abolishing selective service? Abolishing electoral college so it's not just Democrats vs Republicans? Pulling more troops out of the Middle East? Being against nationalism? Less strict immigration?
@3rd Degree Burns It's wishful thinking that Nazis would actually do that (well, except for the environmental part) and that they would seek the democratic route (like these damn leftists often do).
@3rd Degree Burns Sorry, I think we were on some kind misunderstanding there. My bad.
Nazis didn't invest all that much into infrastructure or healthcare (watch the "Was Hitler a socialist"-video for that), and it's usually a political exercise to make (modern) leftists and fascists look the same. However, I understand that right-wing parties from other nations might have differences in their programs, and that recent movements tend to intermix and join under one anti-authoritarian roof while following wholly disparaging ideas. It's very complicated 🤨
@3rd Degree Burns Right? The ABSOLUTE GALL of them to improve the lives of ordinary people and IMPOSE on us modern and well designed infrastructure. It's like a DICTATORSHIP where everyone is FORCED to not die due to shitty trains, derelict bridges and a silly cough that turned out to be lung cancer. So I guess what you are saying is a perfect democracy is one in which basic needs are not covered by the state, because that would be TYRANNY.
@@fermintenava5911 'Nazis didn't invest all that much into infrastructure'
Sure, lets ignore the fact that the heart of Germany's autobahn network was built by the Nazi party...
Do you really have to lie to make the Nazis look bad? Because you shouldn't have to. It's pointless lies like that that strengthen the position of the far right as they can point to that and say, correctly, 'hey look at this leftist lying about how bad the Nazis were'. Of course this will then be followed by a lie of their own such as 'they have to lie because the Nazis were actually good'. This is the sort of thing that they do to draw politically ignorant disaffected people to their side.
If you really want to weaken the far right then stop playing their game.
@3rd Degree Burns I don't know that Healthcare for All counts when A. It existed well before the Nazi Party (Otto von Bismarck in 1884) and B. the fact that they willingly denied those same rights to German citizens based entirely on their religious identity and heritage. Or their assumed mental disabilities. Or their being or a certain socioeconomic class.
There's something so hilarious about Jordan Peterson's livestreams getting frustrated at being spammed with "Address the Jewish question!"
Know whats even more hilarious?: leftists getting frustrated for never managing to properly, through any substantive means, articulate the claim that JP is in any way morally, prescriptively or pragmatically the equivalent, or the adjacent, of the far right or the National Socialists. Seems like they can only beg the question or point out ridiculous non sequitur such as what other people asked him about half a dozen times in his hundreds of lectures and interviews that spam for more than a decade, even before he got famous.
And in that regard, 3 Arrows' entire attempt at doing exactly that, at the end, is absolute evidence of his limitless stupidity: "Peterson criticizes an ideology that is ruining society. The Nazis criticised an ideology that they thought ruined society. Ergo Peterson Nazi". Its nothing short of that low IQ mental gymnastic.
Its propagandistic. Nazis criticized an entire demographic, and tied to it a false ideological premise (something the wokes do all the time against certain demographics, but someone like Peterson never does that, as he explicitly denounces "identity politics", he criticizes positions, not tying them to identities of demographics).
Also, lets not forget that communists and progressives like 3 arrows also have their equivalent of the "jews" = the rich (but if we go to cultural marxism territory, then it can be the whites, the males, the cis, the colonizer, etc.). 3 Arrow's criticism is empty and can be applied to himself or pretty much to any ideological position that stands to have any opposition to any other ideological group. Its actually worse since wokeism notoriously presupposes biases and malice to people based on gender, race, etc. (CRT is a clear example of this).
Another cardinal difference being ignored is how Peterson can demonstrate how what he criticizes 1) exists and 2) is wrong. The Nazis never managed to demonstrate the existance of anything they called "jewish bolshevism".
And lets not forget: 3 arrows' greatest dishonesty here in equating Peterson to "nazi" is in that Peterson's approach to solving societal issues is through debate, dialogue, scientific enquiry, and a fair treatment, without coercion, for all involved. This was not the Nazi way. 3 Arrows' side however is very quick (and intellectually weak) to proptly call for the use of force or a means of cancellation against their ideological opponents, much like the Nazis. 3 Arrows is closer to the Nazis than Peterson could ever be, his cherrypicking notwithstanding.

You hit on a good point here. Peterson is a clinical psychologist. But his real passion is to come up with a grand unified theory of how people think. He tries to incorporate everything from biology to history to religion. Needless to say, it leaves him spread a little thin.
His first book "Maps of Meaning" I believe illustrates this obsession. Don't get me wrong, I've learned a lot from Peterson and respect his heart for helping people.

A thumbs up wasn't enough. I had to add this compliment as well. Peterson's interpretation of Nazi "mayhem" is through his own badly biased perspective. The Nazis were very well organized. We can discern the depth of their atrocity partially because they kept such good records! From their perspective, the Jews, homosexuals, gypsies, communists, atheists were the ones sewing disorder. Thus you can demonize and dehumanize anyone who disagrees with your orderly agenda.
It just goes to show that there is nothing Jordan Peterson won't admit to being "the guy" to ask on the subject. He's a psychologist and yet I have heard very little of his ideas on psychology, but rather his OPINIONS on history, philosophy and politics. He's a quack.

The5armdamput33 who is he with?
It's almost like he's doing exactly what he accuses the left of doing. And then he cries.
The right is entirely based in projection. Everything they say the left does, they do in some form.
Well his entire argument is sort of sketchy there: the left doesn't want a dialogue (which is categorically incorrect not to mention, that the left isn't all that homogenic), but if they do search a dialogue, then they are being manipulative about that, so it's bad, and if I engage into it, I automatically loose (which is again kinda like "what?" I mean, sure, if I talk to people, I want to convince them of my ideas through arguments and that's how a dialogue works, if you feel manipulated by that, then well it's actually you who deosn't want to debate your ideas)
Can you expand on this?
On what I said about Petersons argument? After reading a bit about him and watching some of his debate, it's kinda like his trademark when it comes to political discussion: simply put he cannot have one unless the person he is talking to, has the same opinion. This is especially showcased when it comes down to LGBT rights and specifically to trans and non-binary people and his straight up refusal to accept them. His argument on this stance - and I assume the clip shown here was also one from a debate about LGBT, feminism and so on, since he throws in the word patriarchy a lot, in a sort of buzz word sense here - is simple refusal. He tries to hide it behind some free speech sort of thing, but in reality the clip where he just sort of yells in frustration "I'm not gonna do this" is exactly what he means: Ressentiment. And especially when it comes down to these topics he portrays the left as an enemy of his, it's like the left would be some hive mind sort of thing and totalitarian in the stance, which might be true for some individuals, like you will find people with authoritarian personalities (Adorno) everywhere, the left is of course no exception, but first of all that doesn't invalidate anything and second, if you really think that they are wrong you could still debate them if you have better arguments at hand, which he ofc doesn't do as explained previously why. So instead he twists his argument around, that if you talk to the hive-minded left, you're essentially courting them and agreeing to their assumptions, that's what he means by playing the game. It's kinda like debating a 9/11-inside-job-conspiracy-theorist under the assumption, that 9/11 was an inside job, in his perspective, which implies, that this patriarchal society thing is for him nothing more then a hoax and probably a lot of other things that come from social sciences. So debating the left is for him, the same thing as giving into their arguments, which is kind of silly really, because this is not a internet conspiracy here we're talking about, but actually academics, unless you have the Thunderf00t syndrome and resent anything but natural sciences as a form of science, although I don't really believe that Peterson would say that.
However his inability to discuss such matters, while hiding behind twisted arguments and straw-manning kinda discredits him as a discussion partner rather then the left, as he portrays that to be the case.
I can't blame many falling for Peterson's BS, depending on the sampling of the "SJW left" they've been exposed to. And of course some people will even nit-pick those in order to generalize either "SJWs" or the left in general. The left-wing's "moral panics" only create a niche for "intellectuals"/celebrities like Peterson. And it may even be somewhat of a self-reinforcing cycle, as hysterical petersonites/right-wingers may trigger more hysterical SJWness and associated leftism.
"For them, victory was impossible without genocide".
A chilling but accurate line. Hate, especially at that level ; that depth; is not rational.
Don't confuse rational - sane with rational - process. Even an insane person engages in a rational process, it's just that the leaps between points are themselves irrational to an outside perspective. In other words, you can come up with a process that goes: I have black friends....so I'm not a racist....but I talk about racism and black advancement alot....and disavow it whenever I can...but I also have black friends....so I'm not a racist.
That actual process is, in and of itself, rational because it describes the exact steps involved in order to reach said conclusion. That's different than being rational ie each point based upon a independent and proven point able to sustain the thought chain throughout. Again, even irrational people's thought processes go through a 'rational' process linking themselves together. Just because you don't agree with their psychological or scientific validity or end result does not mean there is no rationality involved.

That´s what JP fanbase is like. A balanced, well-rounded critique of JP´s views, that even encourages the watcher to check the original lecture to make sure it is not taken out of context. And yet, it got more than 3000 dislikes. Since almost all the people hating on this video in the comments are bringing up strawmans that are addressed later in the video, one has no choice but to assume they didn´t watch the video at all. I thought that it was crucial to put everything in context and study the whole amount of someones work to critisize them. You can´t have it both ways, JP fans!
Jirka Zalabák because even though he said that he still misrepresented Peterson at every single opportunity.
He starts the video off by poisoning the well and basically deciding how you’ll enjoy this video. You’re either already with this leftist ideologue or you’re not. He framed it that way and that’s the way everyone is taking it, unsurprisingly.
Jirka Zalabák im not criticizing three arrows I’m criticizing this lazy shit video. So no I don’t need to know all about three arrows but he does need to know everything about JP if he’s going to misrepresent literally his character and almost everything he stands for.
Here´s an advice. Maybe, just maybe, if Peterson doesn´t want to be misrepresented so much, he could use his own advice, and be more "precise" in his speech. I just love the fact that Peterson fans always tell you that you are misrepresenting their Jesus, and that you need to watch more of him to understand him better, but when you ask three people to explain to you how exactly you misrepresented him, or what his real opinions are, you get three completely different explanations. I just don´t think that this would happen with someone who is "precise" in their speech.
I'm not a Peterson fan, but when you try to insinuate that Peterson is alt right erroneously, we are gonna have some issues.
Yeah, which is precisely why he says that he "doesn´t think that Peterson is a Nazi or anything...". Or "he doesn´t make any excuses for Nazis or portray them positively in any way...". You need to watch the video buddy.
Jordan Peterson should have consulted an actual historian first.
He probably got his History lessons from Sargon of Akkad and Ben Shapiro.

Yes, but worse: he's primarily an entertainer now. Just like a "pundit" that amuses people with their opinions. Opinions are his medium of amusement. Just like prancing in a clown suite is Chuckles the Clown's medium. In that regard he's no different than Chuckles, or Lil Tay, Lena Dunham, Alex Jones, Kevin Williamson, Kathy Griffin, Jerry Falwell Jr, Stormy Daniels, or Colin Kaepernick. His opinions about the professional amusement industry (and psychology) are perhaps a cut above. But his opinions about anything else should be viewed as amusingly expressed perhaps, but no more inherently valuable than those of others in the amusement industry.

THREE ARROWS GETS TRIGGERED AND SNAPS AT JORDAN PETERSON
MordredTheMightyMetalhead Yeah, thats a pretty stupid title as well.
@MordredTheMightyMetalhead Three Arrows doesn't "rationalize the holocaust", he's just placing it in context. Saying something happened for clearly defined reasons isn't rationalizing; "rationalizing" is making excuses for something to justify ones participation in questionable actions at the expense of admitting the real reasons.. Three Arrows very clearly doesn't do the latter.
The alt right doesn't like Jordan Peterson.
"By pathologizing perpetrators we assure ourselves we can never become like them." Brilliant. Modern society has a tendency to label nazis or similarly destructive individuals in human history as evil, distancing them, and more importantly, their hate, from us. My belief is that while we most definetely haven't done the things they did, we all hate one way or another. It's a hard thing to do, to look at oneself and recognize the times we've been racist, sexist, hateful in any way. But it's an important thing to do, because we can't fix a problem we don't acknowledge. If we don't recognize the existance of hate within us, we'll never be able to face it, change it. Simply labeling such actions as evil is an effort to ignore their underlying causes and more importantly, an effort to not face them. That, in a way, is the real purpose society gives to the concept of evil; it's an escapegoat from our own demons.
Wow, a sane post on this page?
"... I think it was developed by Jung." - as if he doesn't absolutely know that it was derived from Jung and that he has a room in his house devoted to a shrine to him
Peterson should stick with cleaning rooms, not to degrade him, but he does it well. History and war on the other hand is a different matter entirely.
Even his "clean your room" tier stuff is framed as political prescription. There is a pretty explicit message in it that you should not engage with large scale change since you can't change the world and would do harm if you tried. Instead you should just focus on yourself and try and be happy with your situation.
It's a pretty fucked worldview, that if you follow it to its conclusion would involve be telling black protestors in mid 20th century USA to sit down and be quiet and just work on themselves. And the same to suffragettes in Europe, or factory workers in the industrial Revolution striking for safe working conditions, or Republicans in France wanting to abolish the injustice of monarchy, or plebians in ancient Rome fighting against the rigid caste system, and so on and so on.
And yet when you look at those things, they are key to the "Western" tradition of striving for equality that Peterson claims to promote. One of his stated beliefs conflicts with the other, and in the end I think it's because neither is true. In reality he's just a bog standard conservative who wants the darn lefties to stop trying to change things, but he's learned that faux self help is a better vehicle for getting that message across to a receptive audience than just saying it would be.
@@Graknorke he did not say that you should not engage in large scale problems but that you should first fix the immediate problems that are surrounding you line perhaps your room.The point is you cant change the world if you do not lay the proper ground work first

My second Three Arrows vid and I have subscribed. Thanks for the great videos.
My 3rd video and I've become skeptical. Especially when I went into full research mode.
This video is probably one of the most honest and well thought out criticism of Peterson. No wonder they tried so hard to get this video taken down and your account banned.
They? You mean TH-cam?
Come on, an algorithm took it down because it was talking about nazis and that's that. Whatever took this video down didn't look even once at the context of who this video was criticising, and arguably the overreactive algorithms are in place to censor people who want to discuss taboo topics such as Peterson, and guess what, that now includes channels this channel as well as other history channels who are beginning to be censored. We're all under attack from the same reckless censors and it's time to stand up together against it rather than continue this pointless finger pointing.

@I Control My Fate You mean the dumb algorithm by youtube.
JP is full of.... feelings. And too sure of himself.
He keeps saying he has "thought about this for over many years, over thirty years" says that about all subjects he mentions, and mentioning it is not even solving it ---it is only describing it.
because these are difficult problems, and his job is not primarily to find a solution but to look at all the factors and deeply inspect the problem to try to understand them fully, it is only when you know the disease that you can start to try to cure it.
@@prime7412
What???
What use is it to mention the issues... we all know the social issues of inequality and men raised by single mothers creating a crisis of masculinity, and femininity, we all already know what third wave feminism is creating, we already know all issues he mentions, including the issue of modern hierarchies naturally occurring because of biology, the lobster thing and all that, so yea these are old old systems; men have been vying for position for reproductive rights and social position forever, we all know those things, so women denying that and at the SAME TIME choosing or preferring those males with high social status and resources, is bullshit, any half wit can notice that... so besides REMINDING us of those things, what NEW issues has he solved or mentioned... even his "self-authoring program" is basic shit, you need to have goals and is better if you write them down, so to do that you have to THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE some, and this issue is also the result of the new soy boys raised by modern feminism... he also mentions the MODERN issue of consent and the issues women have choosing careers over having kids, but we already knew it, he has no SOLUTIONS to it all.. and that is all I said... YOU said his job is to think DEEPLY about these issues, but all that deep thinking over thirty years of reading has given him no solutions??
I really want to hear something new... even the thing about working with women and that being a new paradigm where men don't know exactly how to deal with women and their trespasses at work, since men know where the line is and woman don't, all that is already known, and again NO solution to it other than "we just have to muddle through it..." well, dah!!
I repeat: JP is a very LIKEABLE engaging speaker, and even I would say motivational, so that is not what I am after, he can keep filling stadiums full of people who like motivational speakers, but after listening to all those talks, I still have to ask, OK so we knew those issues existed, what are the solutions?? and we come out with none of that, none. Please tell me a solution he has given that we DIDN'T ALREADY KNOW??
@@prime7412
Hell, he is like the coach in the half game talk trying to inspire the players to go out there and win... but they already want to win, so the talk is reinforcing that, and that is it.
If the coach could tell them HOW to win it, other than they have been playing, that would be helpful, since the players already know the problem specially if they are losing the game. Just telling them "we need more touchdowns" or goals (soccer) is just telling them nothing they didn't already know.
@@ggrthemostgodless8713 look I respect your opinion, and agree with you on most of your points. I too find it frustrating that we don't know the answers to these things and that he or anyone else for that matter hasn't come up with a solution. But I think it is valuable what he does. He brings the spotlight around. Thought you find these things to be a "well duhh" scenario many people don't. And since common sense isn't all that common anymore it is inportant that he says these things and that he is so critical of all "solutions" because lets be honest most of them are poorly thought out.
P.s. big props for writing that whole thing, jesus it was long.
Yes he says that sometimes. He also says “I don’t know” or “I haven’t thought on that long enough “ when he is unsure of something. He must be a white supremacist.

@@edmondantes4338 I would disagree with that honestly. He infers that because Peterson is asked questions about jews that he attracts Nazis and the far right when in fact it's been shown that they loath him (I have friends who were part of those groups and left who can confirm) and try to associate him with those things to discredit him and his arguments against ideological thinking.
@@russellminard2578 can you please explain to me which part of Peterson's lecture showed his lack of knowledge?
The idea of “male” representing “order” and “female” representing “chaos” is a Jungian concept that Peterson is borrowing. “Masculine” and “feminine.” Two polarities. One “positive” and the other “negative.” It’s an idea popular in late 19th century and early 20th century. Probably why it sounds out of place to use it now.
It's also used in Daoism (Ying-Yang-Symbol) and it is not seen as one being positive and one being negative.
@@BobTheTrueCactus to add to your point- it's absolutely correct that yin and yang is the concept of the polarities of thing that are related yet opposed; however, the way that Yin, representing things like coldness, softness, moon and other (more interesting things) like chaos, deception, uncleanliness... became associated with "femininity" and the female reproductive organs still largely reflect the misogynistic quality of Chinese history.
Is not only a Jungian concept, is a commonplace in myths and stories across human societies
The problem being that Peterson never said that order is positive and chaos is negative. When he talks about the subject he always stresses that the best place to be is with one foot in order and one foot in chaos. You need both. The idea that chaos is negative is a projection from other people onto him.
I'm reminded of ancient Greeks writing about women being these society-wrecking forces of nature in spite of not having rights or political power or anything. It has this subtle smack of "I had everything handled and my world was organized and made sense when I was doing all the hard work of making you do all the housework with no recourse while I get to live as a free person, but now you've come barreling into my perfect ordered life like some maelstrom of chaos trying to change things, wanting to also be treated like a human with rights and other garbage like that."
It's strange to me to watch his lecture clips because I went to U of T during that time. It is one of the best institutions for the study of Jewish history in the world. A meer 2 floors above him is the history department where some of the world's strongest Jewish historians work. Any of them would of let him borrow their copy of Arendt's, "banality of Evil" if he had just asked lol
He claims to have read it, I think, but that only goes to show that he's either a liar or has dogshit reading comprehension/ retention.
I still contend that, while you cannot infer motivation from outcomes, you can eliminate potential motives by analyzing reactions to outcomes. For instance, while I would not call Jordan Peterson a Nazi or a fascist, I can infer that he is more concerned with the right to be dismissive than he is concerned that his arguments may support Nazi or fascist Ideology.
Collectivism: Nazism, communism, fascism
@@fuckamericanidiot are you stupid?
I think Peterson is one of those conservatives who legitimately believes that protesters being annoying is the greatest evil in the world, and that one of the greatest tasks a man can undertake is to prove that protesters have nothing to protest about. They just hate people who fight against the status quo, especially the ones who have personally inconvenienced them. I genuinely don't think it's deeper than that. Every development beyond that is just a justification.
I remember how I first got into contact with the Lobster. It was with his Cathy Newman interview and the Real-Time appearance. Then I watched a bit more and also read 12 rules for life. And while I scoffed at some of the more problematic aspects (I was raised in a social-democratic and socially progressive household in Germany after all), it helped me overcome some issues I had. I'm a biologist and have a healthy working knowledge of most major Stem fields and so when I then heard him talking about climate change I was like ... wow, if he is this horribly wrong on a subject I do understand - not just with his conclusions, but also displaying a clear lack of competence when interpreting basic research data - then how wrong is he, when it comes to subjects I don't know enough about and would just take him at his word. The next thing I saw of him was the video you were addressing and I was like ... holy shit, this is embarrassing. You don't need to be a university student in a history undergrad class, to see how little he actually knows and how grossly he misrepresents Nazi ideology, but just a basic German high school education which makes it even sadder. I paused the video and found yours in the recommendations and it was a cathartic experience. Thanks for doing what you do.
I don't think, I was never in any real danger of going down the Alt-Right pipeline, but I'm nevertheless happy that I realized their bullshit before they got a real opportunity to hook me in. Your videos, as well as Shawn's and many other Breadtubers, made a difference in my life. And that's awesome!
The main problem is with Peterson is he thinks he’s so much more educated than he is even on things like psychology
And his fan base wanking him off doesn’t help by saying he is like 150-160 Iq and stupid shit like that
Can you tell me what part of what he said about climate change was wrong and why? Genuenly interested!
@@keyan1219 More educated than he thinks he is in psychology? Yeah teaching at Harvard is nothing. He doesn't have a CV with a list of publications in high ranking journals the size of a Dovestky novel either. ;) That being said he does sometimes speak outside of his expertise.
@@Daniel-yv6jh I am asking the same thing. He worked with the IPCC. His comments on climate change have been what has posited by many economists for a long time. Bringing people to a certain level of economic wealth allows to worry about the environment and things like clean water over just trying to get water, food, and shelter. It is no coincidence the richest nations in the world are the ones engaging in fighting climate change.

The one I can still remember is when JBP comments about gypsies I think, under the nazi regime, using one of the phrases they used as an example to then dissect of their ideology.... and that the author here treated the comment as if it came out of JBP's own mind and he agreed with it.

The Lobster Question.....
Adolf Lobster
I will say that the whole "if you can't determine what motivates someone directly, look at the outcome and then infer the motivation is terrible historically." History depends heavily on primary sources, meaning that it requires direct textual or witness-based evidence from someone who was at the event in question or had direct knowledge of that event. Secondary sources look people writing about said event, usually with the support of primary sources. These two types of source, combined together, help build our historical understanding and in the absence of the said two types of sources, we can infer and know nothing. Furthermore, to infer the motivation of a historical figure via the outcome of their actions is very weak methodology for historical understanding. For one, it requires that we assume a historical figure has more control over the outcome of a historical event. In reality, very few exercise such control and even those who do have such control lose it eventually. In most cases, historical figures are not just acting on the world, but also reacting to it and sometimes events happen that they can't predict nor control. It also creates an absurd opportunity for subjective speculation to mix with fact and call itself objective. People are subjective creatures and if they simply infer the motivation via the outcome, they will think not as the historical figure's did within their respective times, but within the confines of their own modern interpretation. Thus, history and historical accuracy is lost. Jordan Peterson may be an excellent psychologist, but he is terrible at history.
Peterson constantly whines about ideological biases and yet he is wearing a high powered “jung-bible-mystic” lens all the time
Eli Drummond
That's because christianity isn't an ideology. One has to actually understand "something" (and it's consequences) before jumping to criticising. In your example the Bible.
Andrei Kovaci neither is Islam, yet many claim so
@@ronanjmReally? But how about islamism? Now tell me, that those two "things" are NOT related. Yep.
@@jamiehardt3061 No. What you don't get is Peterson's perspective, which is the "human condition".Actually what you call narratives and stories are incredibly important, because many complex "concepts" especially ideologies, could be reduced to their most basic narratives and by that, revealing their effect, on the human condition and VERY important, makes them "accessible" (i.e understandable) to large masses, who maybe otherwise would not understand them( i.e they are NOT scholars). They (the narratives) are useful and helpful to humans to emit "judgements" and make decisions based on them.
For example fascism and nazism, could be "reduced" to their basic narratives which would be " if you don't mess with us its all good" vs"we will kill you regardless". It IS an oversimplification, but they are true, and accurately represent their true nature and relation towards the human condition.
The greatest achievement of the Reformation, could be regarded that it took the Bible (information) out of the hand of the Catholic church and made it accessible to large portions of humanity, effectively ending its monopol (i.e power), also leading to the ending of the tie between the church and the state( aristocracy)
Actually marxism is both a teaching and a philosophy and that makes it dangerous( i.e the same danger which lead to the separation of the state and the church) among many many other reasons.
Btw it is erroneous the assertion that Christianity is responsible for any of that( ideology). Humans did that, yes they were christians, but that's actually a testament to our( as humans) inability to really comprehend complex "teachings" and also our ability to twist "teachings" Actually our whole history is a testament in that regard.
Peterson does not have an ideology. He simply,in a human way cautions against dangers, which he perceives as dangers.
Think about a Remarque who is actually taking active steps to prevent the dangers what he described so brilliantly in his books.
@@jamiehardt3061 Again, you "fail" to understand the pov.What's more interesting is that you don't even try:). You talk about the ideological differences( motivation, justification) and I'm talking about their similar relation towards the "human condition" Two very different things. Btw the reprehensibility of nazism lies not "just in the inhumane ideology, but equally the inhumane practices as well, right?
Very much so. I'm from a former marxist country, born in 1973.
So nazism and communism are NOT two totalitarian ideologies? They are not systematic in their "deeds"? They don't have that in common? Really? Well.... nice.
Yes, but you again fail to comprehend its effect ( distribution of information) on the "human condition" on human consciousness and by that the long term "results". You know that wasn't exactly the digital age, so the effects had take some time to show:).Right?..:D
Well since you like so much to jump to conclusions and also to scold people over historical accuracy
here's one for you. In history context is always king. Marx was a byproduct of his time, don't forget that, along with all what that actually implies.
Really? You know nothing about me, but oh so conveniently jump to all kind of conclusions.
Who is telling you to do that? Marx? Really?
Did I schooled you or tried to present my perspective as superior to yours? From where is stemming that crazy resistance against
acknowledging the common ground? Your first comment seemed actually very wide, but then the ideology kicked in or something?
Well here is another one for you, history always had to be looked upon from a neutral perspective otherwise it will become a fairy tale.
Nice try btw linking me with all sort of political and other kind of "adjectives" and "concepts" lol. For your information, I was baptised in a a catholic church, but while I do believe in God, I regard faith as independent from religion. Religion could be cultural/habitual even temperamental,political while faith not.
Oh btw I'm a former REAL communist.
Do you have more adjective related fantasies? I mean besides, let's say Marx.

"I think this was derived by Jung" - Jordan Peterson, every video
Aidan Clare Jung was a philosopher-wacko, not a psychologist.
Freud was wrong, but at least he had clinical objectives and was interested in medicine and he got the ball rolling on correcting his errors.
I admit I know jack-all about psychoanalysis, but from Jordan Peterson's description of archetypes and his use of them to justify religion and social darwinism, I'd agree.
Aidan Clare Jung was prone to confirmation bias and a lot of other “it sounds good therefore it must be true.” It was the early days of the field, so not surprising that there are errors.
Psychology as a field is still horrible about differentiating causation and correlation. Pop psychology (e.g. Myers-Briggs) in particular is borderline if not outright pseudoscience.
Jung is sometimes useful as a descriptive tool, but as prediction or explanation it’s taken with a major grain of salt.
"you know, a guy who was rejected by FREUD for having too many weird hang-ups"
Then how could he be a behaviorist? He's contradicting himself....or just trying to ethic-clense society through self-help books?

So...an outcome of his work is a rabid right wing base. All the haters and rotten folk come to Peterson's yard for his milkshake.

There was a boxing match. One guy lost. That is the outcome. Therefore that one guy wanted to lose.

It's called determining your definitions. In order to understand an argument effectively you have to understand what they mean when they use words that could have multiple meanings within different contexts. As memey as it is, he says that in order to understand and avoid misrepresenting people's arguments.
I think the clip of JBP talking about the Nazis was the first time I really encountered him and I had very much the same thought, yes this guy is calling the Nazis bad but he's doing it in a way that seems to fundamnetally misunderstand, misrepresent, and over-simplify the Nazis, Hitler, and the Nazi state. So basically, thanks for making this video.
He’s assuming psychopaths are acting logically all the time
@Robert Dimarco His "psychology" on the topic also sucks.
@Robert Dimarco His weird talk on the topic has nothing to do with psychology. It had no data whatsoever so we should call it an opinion.
It's also absurd as an opinion. The Jews were getting slaughtered at the end of the war because "slave labour" is not efficient if you have to feed them and you have no food. It actually takes resources to prevent revolts.
They were also getting killed because the official believe in Nazi Germany is that we are in a racial war. If you kill as many jews as possible you give the biggest chance of your "race" survival. They were the same people that we have now. It's not "chaos" what motivates them. They suffered from the toxic disease of nationalism. They believed they were in a team competing with the other teams. To them it made sense ideologically AND economically.
Jordan Peterson talks about the Enlightenment a lot for someone who peddles so much pseudoscience. And sure, maybe he sees Jungian psychology as a product of the Enlightenment, and in a broad sense it is. But what's important is the Enlightenment isn't some mystical, religious event by which knowledge was bestowed from on high - adoption of reason and science means an ongoing engagement and application of those things. Jungian psychology is pseudoscience - it doesn't arise from a rigorous application of the scientific method. That Peterson continues to clutch onto it shows he has no real commitment to Enlightenment, beyond employing it as a buzzword. You want chaos? Adopt mysticism, adopt Jung, adopt religion - anything can be asserted, anything can be true. You want order? Use the scientific method. Distinguish truth from falsehood.
I came back to this video and something hits me everytime. "We assume that Hitler wanted to win, but that's not a very intelligent assumption, he wasn't exactly a good guy"...
This doesn't make any sense. This is a sentence devoid of meaning. There is absolutely no connexion between the different parts of this thought process. And look at Peterson while he says this, look how convinced he is that he's making a cogent point.
It's incredible.
No, he refers to the earlier part of the sentence. We assume that his goal and psychologial motivation was to make nazi germany some kind of übermensch utopia or at least save it from defeat (because that was what nazis believed he was doing and he himself claimed that was the ultimate goal). Then we assume that he thought that in order to win and create said utopia he has to exploit and kill jews. Peterson suggests that the assumption is not intelligent because there is more to Hitler's underlying psychological motivation.

It's kind of funny that the lobster thing even sounds somewhat "marxist", from skimming "the star" article. I wonder if Peterson would have somehow managed to flip everything the other way around if someone had brought first the lobster "analogy" into some sort of class struggle argument.

Odd how the free speech warriors tried to get this removed. We should all tweet at Jordan Peterson and ask him to condemn this.
I don't doubt he'd condemn it, and he might also take the opportunity to challenge TA for a debate. He doesn't need to play by the rules his minions do, or act consistently with what happens as a result of his charlatan teachings. He's a fascist enabler, so he has the luxury of not having to actually be a fascist.

@@Mant111 not like you're here to make any sort of reasonable arguments but did you ever hear about the piece of shit who murdered 50 Muslims in Christchurch? Turns out he did it because he really hated "cultural marxism".. now, where might he have possibly heard about that phrase?

After having heard him talk at length about Nazis, I'm convinced that he's never once spoken to an actual historian or stepped into a history class. The way he applies psychology to history is just so wrong
Zero substance in this comment - you're just regurgitating what you think original video poster wants you to say for clout.
@Cora Well the thing is, a lot can be inferred about history if you know how people work since people are the ones who make history. However, JP isnt a god, nor does he make himself out to be one like most scholars. Because of that, he makes mistakes. I bet you pry would make similar mistakes in similar situations if you didn't 100% major in history.
@@wantedwario2621 then the responsible and intelectually honest thing to do, specialy from a "scholar" is to recognize when you are totally stepping outside your area of expertise.
@@danito1981 First off, it really isn't that far out of his realm of expertise. When talking about and thinking about people, you have to take into account the history of people. Second, the same can be said for absolutely every single person who hasn't studied a field day after day. Lastly, the only reason you say what you said is because of your clear bias against him, and not because you actually intellectually agree with the idea. If the situation was flipped, you would share my same point that i stated in the previous comment for the sake of defending yourself.
@@wantedwario2621 "Second, the same can be said for absolutely every single person who hasn't studied a field day after day"
Of course, I don't understand why you need to state this. I would expect the same amount of intelectual honesty from any person regarded a as a respectable scholar. It is not just because he is J. Peterson.
"Lastly, the only reason you said what you said is because" Stop right there with your mind reading and your bias divination. I would make the same argument for any "scholar" using wrong facts to prove any point.
And no, I wouldn't use your argument to defend myself because it's based in poor critical thinking. He certainly can make any number of mistakes he wants, I understand he is human, but as a scholar it is not a free card for him to make any claim he thinks correct, specialy when it is far from his expertise.
I discovered JP and his videos on the internet roughly a year a ago and took great interest in what he was saying. What I noticed fairly quickly is how hard he is to critize, but at the same time I know he can't be only right in his words. So I decided that I should always look for things to critize him for since it was fairly easy to do the opposite. For this I have also tried looking for youtubers who can do this without having to distort or strawman his views, which is why I am writing this comment.
You have made an excellent video and you take up great points showing the other side of the argument. You don't misrepresent his views either which is mostly rare for some reason and then keep brining up very valid points on how he is wrong. I found it enjoyable and entertaining to watch and listen to your arguments but most of all it is refreshing to hear somebody being able to properly tell the man where he is probably wrong.
Thank you for having this channel. You've just earned a subscriber and it is fairly few times I do subscribe, even less when I comment!
the reason why is hard to criticize is because he often doesn't take a point and doesn't bring arguments. Contrapoints criticizes him really well in her Jordan Peterson video even if she can be a bit harder to watch for people who aren't used to that particular sense of humor

If you're still looking, Unlearning Economics has a video on Jordan Peterson not understanding the wage gap, and there's another video (though I don't recall the channel off the top of my head) about how he doesn't understand George Orwell. He seems to have an unfortunate habit of dabbling in areas outside his expertise without understanding that he's not an expert in everything -- which is really sad, because from what I've heard his stuff on psychology and self-help has helped a lot of people, but once you realize his "I've read this material, and I understand it extremely well" is just a fancy, "I do my own research," you kind of can't unhear it.
A fact is that Peterson's use of terms like cultural marxism mirrors the language used by the Nazi's.

Jordan "Out of Context" Peterson
Maybe if people didnt keep doing it, then we wouldnt have to keep pointing how often you guys lie about him.
@@undeadwill5912 doesn't he love to thrown around the term "cultural marxism"? Kind of hard to take an anti-semtic dog whistle out of context. It's a classic paleoconservative talking point kept vague enough to allow for deniability when needed.
Also doesn't he like to throw around the Venezuela argument as a talking point against socialism? (Never mind that Venezuela is a Social Democracy, vastly different from pure socialism) While ignoring the FACT that Venezuela was dealt significant economic blows thanks to US sanctions, US backed coups and poor policy in the face of an oil price crash?
Doesn't he also define equity as equality of outcome that the left strives for? This is not only practically impossible, but is factually false as most leftists will agree that equality of opportunity is a far more realistic goal. That is the typical consensus you reach when you have a productive discussion/debate between Communists, Liberals and even Centrists.
Didn't he also misrepresent bill C-16? I remember when the Canadian BAR association actually had to come out and debunk his talking points because he horribly misrepresented what C-16 was about. Never mind the fact that the law was already in the books five years prior in several provinces, and there were ZERO arrest regarding improper pronoun usage. The bill just applied this on a federal level and yet to this day still no arrests.
Of course I may just be taking him out of context so I may need some clarification here.
@@WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot_YT I still don't understand why this new wave of resentment towards Peterson insists that he misrepresented the bill. A The Ontario Human Rights Commission can commence a complaint before a Tribunal, intervene in any existing complaint before the Tribunal on behalf of any complainant, conduct its own inquiries into real or purported breaches of the Code and issue recommendations, and it develops legally binding policies. With the introduction of Bill C-16, the OHRC has the authority to require you to use the words demanded by the bill. To reiterate, OHRC policy requires that persons must use the pronouns required by the portion of transgendered individuals, making that demand effectively constitutes compelled speech. Those not wishing to use those pronouns or not able to use those pronouns due to their beliefs, faith and religion, are afforded no ability to abstain. People can be summoned to a human rights Tribunal if they use the wrong words. Wilfed Laurier University was proof of that. You can say I'm wrong, tell me my facts are irrelevant, but none of that really matters since the bill is already in place. Your speech doesn't matter in this country. Nor does mine.
@@luki907 Because Peterson's hand wringing after the skeptic community picked it up was poor in optics. He knew this but choose to let it run it's course with him benefiting from the media coverage, thus developing detractors.
Also in regards to C-16. Nothing in the language was written to COMPEL the use or avoidance of certain words in public. As long as there is no malicious intent behind the words then no law is broken.
If a person talks to a transwoman and accidentally calls her a male pronoun, they are not subject to jail time or fines. How ever if they call her a man over and over in a malicious manner or they advocate the death of her and her ilk or publicly incites hatred towards them. Then that clearly is intending to antagonize, and that person violates anti-hate speech laws. All the bill is designed to do is move transgender individuals into an already existing group of protected classes.
If Canadians don't like the level of free speech they have in their country then they can elect officials that are more for free speech absolutism. Until then, misconstruing C-16 does not serve a practical purpose in the free speech debate.
@@undeadwill5912 This video links and even encourages you to watch Peterson's lecture to get context for this video. This is a great criticism of Peterson and a fair one
I love it when this guy gets sassy, goes so well with the accent.
Yeah lol
Could you be bothered to provide an example for Canada trying to reach facism? A Law that's being passed or something like that?
Have you read the bill? The only thing that it does is to make Gender expression/identity a possible motive for inciting hatred or comitting hatecrimes. If you think prohibiting people from calling for example for violence against trans-people is facism you don't know what facism is.
How could this little bill even be the tipping point from democracy to literal facism? There were laws agains hate crimes before... just not against hate crimes against trans people (or other gender identitys). Calling for violence against trans people is in no way crucial to free speech.
Nicholas Weise If you keep escalating like this I won't be bothered to respond.... anyway: I allready explained that this bill neither dictates language, other than blatant hatespeech, and miss gendering doesn't fall under hatespeech and thus is as legal as it has always been.
Shouldn't we decide from a bill to bill basis and not call the prohibition of a certain kind of hatespeech the literal doom of mankind? You seem to be very fixated on freedom... but how free can one be if other people have the freedom to literally call for violence and genocide against you? Isn't that something the state/Society should prevent to ensure freedom to live an individualistic free live?
Nicholas Weise I think you have just proven to not be worthy of being debated in every possible way.

A rare grown up comment
Thanks for this, I have listened to Peterson a lot and enjoy his content, but was looking for a critical view on him...
I fully agree here, his focus on symbols and religious templates is frustrating sometimes.
He interprets everything through psychoanalysis - not a system that can generate reproducible real results. It can only generate reproducible theoretical results, and these results only mean something within the particular psychoanalytic framework used.
Menno, I advice you to listen to what biologists say about Jordan Peterson as well. He is just so fundamentally wrong about so many things. I also want to challenge you with this: Have you actually read up on Karl Jung which Jordan Peterson adores? IMHO it puts Peterson in perspective. Karl Jung peddles Depak Chopra style New Age mumbo jumbo. I say mumbo jumbo, because having a father who is into this I have seen how crazy this stuff is. My father was also a Karl Jung fan.
Karl Jung, and thus by extension Jordan Peterson is VERY far away from mainstream science in the understanding of psychology and the human mind. Remember he hails from a time when psychologists had no way of actually introspecting and analyzing the human brain. Today we have CAT scans, MRI and a host of other methods to connect human behavior to physical processes in the brain we can observe.
Jordan Peterson is really peddling pseudo science. But as a well read scholar, your average debater knows to little about this stuff to confront him, and thus he often scores points in debates.
@@povelvieregg165 if he is so fundamentaly wrong about things, how was he able to change so many peoples lives for the better?
@@cikazoki People who are wrong about a great number of things can still be right about a bunch of other things. Sometimes you can even help people while being wrong.
For instance a lot of alternative medicine is bogus but it can still help people due to the placebo effect. We humans depend a lot of people listening to us and taking us serious. Someone like Jordan Peterson can in principle help you a lot simply by listening to you.
The problem is when Jordon Peterson is able to help you in one aspect of your life and then you treat him as some sort of infallible God afterwards. People worship Jordan Peterson because he confirms a lot of their prejudice and biases.
Wouldn't be surprised if a leaked pet camera video showed him making Hitler like gestures and saluting at swastika flag alone in his room
Not just Nazism, the guy doesn't really understand much of anything outside his own specific field. But he knows how to be eloquent. of course he's also very shrewd in using media. He cannot seriously debate with someone other than talk show hosts. His conversation with Zizek was embarrassing. He didnt say jackshit.
He's not eloquent. He's the opposite of eloquent.
I know you likely won't read this, but I think what you're doing is extremely important. I appreciate your integrity and dedication to truth. I also love the unique perspective you bring as a German, given how much Germany is used as a right wing talking point. Keep up the good work my friend!
@_jeff _ Ah of course. We all know how the U.S, Canada, and Australia were all ruined my mass immigration in the 19th century.
@_jeff _ ...My Cherokee friends agree with you.
I wasnt awarw that germany is suddleny a crime ridden papadise of the corrupt. The far right movements seem to be a problem thou, not the immigration. That sounds like propaganda and being hyperbolic about minor issues. Germany looks far better than the us honestly.
Either Jordan doesn't know about what happened in the camps, or Jordan was implying that the 'slaves' should have been valued more in a logical setting because they are property, people keep care of their property. So because the suffering of the Jewish people was more important than winning the war that's how Jordan could have drawn his conclusion that the nazies were producing chaos rather than unethical order. Teaching a psychology class might be different than teaching a history class.
Sulli11 the problem with that is because he has no historical grounds for whatever psychoanalysis he's doing of a large group of mostly dead people all he can do is attribute psychopathy. That covers for the actual motivation and makes it really easy to say "oh well it's never happening again"
This video is technically correct about historical facts. But while the topic is superficially the same as Peterson’s, they are discussing completely different subjects. I don’t know if “straw manning” is the appropriate term, as that seems to imply some intentionality, but this guy is quibbling about things that neither prove nor disprove what Peterson is saying.
The idea that JBP de-radicalizes these young men is ridiculous. His writings paint every little thing as a facet of some sort of inter-civilizational struggle. If an impressionable person with right-wing views were to read about this, how do you think this makes them view their ideological opposites? As the enemies of civilization.
You got that from him? How can you be harmful if you are anti-authoritarian and focus on improving yourself? You are seeing things.
@_jeff _ the idea that your political opponents are trying to destroy society is the ideological parallel between Peterson and the Nazis that was hinted at in the video. If a group is supposedly trying to harm society that can be used as justification for atrocities. It's the parallels we see with right wing politics under Trump. If you see illegal immigrants as a threat to society you can justify locking them up, or with Muslims someone can justify civilian deaths because Fox news told them Muslims all hate America.
so... if the consequence of Jordan's schtick is the alt-right idolizing him, can we infer that he is trying to promote it?
We don't really have to infer anything

The last word in this title could have been just about anything. Nazism, Marxism, Socialism, almost any aspect of economics. EDIT: For all his talk of reaching out for a dailogue, Peterson has ignored Richard Wolff's challenge to a public debate since about 2018.
The funny thing is that Peterson actually uses the same logic to decry the leftists’ advocating for socialism in the face of unjust socialist implementations in government. Peterson says that anyone who believes that Socialism can work now even though there haven’t been many successful implementations of the ideology is self aggrandizing and immoral, since they are placing personal speculations over raw history. And here, Peterson is doing just that to prove his very flawed point about Hitler.
are there any successful socialist governments? Aren't the unsuccessful ones SUPER unsuccessful?
Peterson didn't cut that clip. It's from a 2hr Psychology lecture, the 13th in a series. In context of the previous lectures it is not as weak an argument as it seems in just the small clip, as at that point he's assuming everyone listening to him has heard him talk about the Nazis in more detail hours and hours over the past 12 lectures, so he's summarizing at that point. The "mayhem" he speaks of *IS* the explicitly stated prioritization of the destruction of the Jews over "winning the war" (as seen by the allies). I have seen all his personality lectures, and nothing of the history presented here is in conflict with Peterson's views. See also: th-cam.com/video/XY7a1RXMbHI/w-d-xo.html Over the lecture series he refers to much of the same sources as this video.

What a moron you are.
Still no answer? I didnt think so.
A great video. Peterson's lack of understanding of historical nazis and nazism is likely why he doesn't understand the ways his own views are sympathetic with today's nazis. Furthermore, he lacks a lot of understanding of military efficiency if he thinks holding prisoners and slaves is less costly than outright murder.
I can't speak to his psych expertise, the general impression I've gotten from the statements of other professionals is that he seems ok as a practitioner but derivative as an academic. But in history and political thought, the guy is atrocious. It's one thing to disagree. But he makes such caricatured statements about the left resulting in a complete fundamental attribution error. And his statements on history ignore all facts and the progression of understanding of historical actors.
If I were to discuss and critique his psychology work, he would rightly tell me that I am unqualified to do so. He should similarly leave other subjects to their respective practitioners.
Hey, I just had to leave a comment here today, as I was reflecting on what content I was watching and got recommended in my teen years six years ago, when I was a quite lonely, vulnerable feeling white guy.
This video might not be of any special signifance to you, but I think for me it was a huge impact and the first time I was confronted with Peterson, even before actually ever seeing any of his content.
It shielded me from falling into a conservative-media rabbit hole and instead try to find answers among liberals and eventually leftists, as I know I might have been gullible for it back then.
Video essays like this one are important, especially in this time where the alt-right floods the internet with bullshit to prey on people, especially men in a vulnerable state to propose bigotry as an easy solution to their problems, and I cant thank you enough for making it. That you got to me back then before they did.
Big Jordan Peterson fan here. This is a very well thought out critique of some of his work. Good clear thinking.... Subscribed.
Duncan McDougall I disagree. He is misleading by sticking a bunch of short clips together in an attempt to suggest that the Peterson’s only objection to the Nazis was their incompetence in waging war. I have read a number of histories of the war and the era. They all agree that the Nazis were incompetent.
Someone else on this vid left a comment that the students should have been instructed in the history of the era. But he is a psychologist teaching Psychology at the University of Toronto, He could hardly convert his class into pure history. He may have said a lot than this misleading man had led us to believe. Notice many clips are only a sentence or two long. I doubt he gives links to the videos he used. Don’t be fooled by this man, he has deliberately set out to make Peterson look like he’s alt right. That is ridiculous. The video maker is not arguing in good faith.
Duncan McDougall I suggest reading about the war, Try Richard Evan’s three part history, although there are many. If you honestly did know the few facts this man presented (once he got off Peterson, is comments on the war seem to be correct.) If you did know this please read a proper history. This man was so deceptive about Peterson I wouldn’t trust him. I didn’t listen past about ¾ of the way through as I already know the history of the era.
@@fraukatze3856 im commenting on a 3 week old comment but then again you commented on a 4-5 month old comment LMAO anyway, dude, read the fkn description theres links to every source, every video featured here, even the Joe Rogan Experience episode. this channel deliberately starts each and every video saying that he's provided links to the videos he is critiquing so you can watch them yourself and know he isn't critiquing them in bad faith.
you didn't even watch the whole video, i bet you didn't even actively listen to what you did watch, and you already downvoted and commented an essay attacking a fellow Peterson fan. just go clean your room already dude
@@dan1561 It's a good thing he didnt watch the end because it's the worst part. He claims the speaker pathologizes the perpetrators and didnt follow a logical worldview and that is bad because then we wont believe the same thing could happen again perpetrated by normal people--even one of us. This is ridiculous because this is one of the points the speaker makes that was even shown in the beginning of the video - that anyone is potentially capable of the evil of nazis.
Then he goes on to claim and/or strongly infer the speaker believes all his enemies or those who disagree with him won't even talk to him and aren't acting fair, etc and he does this by taking clips out of context, clips where the speaker was discussing disruptive "shut down" protesters at his talks who use loud noise, what noise generators, fire drills, and bad faith tactics to shut down the very discussions and debate, even with people who disagree with the speaker and who refuse to engage at all...then he claims that this is dangerous because it's like the nazis and then he claims I dont think the speaker is a nazi. Lmao. Ok.
@Spenser Roger Could you clarify? "He" is Three arrows, and "the speaker" is Jordan Peterson?
Frankly, you might both be somewhat wrong. Your sources might underestimate the role, nutritition played in the holocaust by stating the (misleading) thought that the Germans were well nourished. This might be true for the Germans, but the Axis-territory as a whole was heavily dependent on soviet imports of food at least since 1940. A quote from
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungerplan#Protokoll_der_Staatssekret%C3%A4re-Besprechung,_2._Mai_1941
translated to English:
"On February, the 14th, Herbert Backe, Secretary of the State explained in the Ministry for Nutrition and Agroeconomy, a 'collapse of the nutrition would occur within the second year of the war, as it did in 1918.'"
From the same page about a document regarding the role of nutrition for the start of the war with the soviets:
"Christian Gerlach has shown in his study of 1999 about the German occupation policy in Belarus, that the document's role for the occupation policy in the Soviet Union was not sufficiently understood."
The document states, that
"1) The war is only to be continued, if the totality of the German Army can be nourished from Russian Territory within the third year of the war.
2) Millions of people will perish, if we take from the country, what we need for ourselves."
Long story short: The intention of Hitler might have been to make the Axis independent of food imports from a potential competitor who might like to cut them later on anyways. The trade agreement between Hitler and Stalin at the time states that the Germans mainly imported food and resources, while the Soviets mainly imported advanced parts for military equipment from Germany. Hitler did most likely see this as a sign of military weakness, and thus a good moment to attack. (The Axis' food storage was fading even with soviet imports.)
I am confused by reading the comments section. A lot of people seem to think that what Peterson says at the end of the video (around 18:00) is that if he talks with the left, then he loses. I don't know if this is also Three Arrows' interpretation of Peterson. But, if that is the case, he is completely wrong. See the context of the conversation (as it appears in the video):
Peterson: "they regard the idea [some leftists] [...] that if you're in one power group and I'm in another [...] we can´t step out of that group, engage in a dialogue, have our worlds meet, and produce some sort of understanding of [...] of negotiated understanding. No! That's part of [...] your oppressive patriarchal game! That [...] whole idea is part of your game so if I even engage in the dialogue I'm playing your game, you win then."
You can also see that that interpretation is wrong when you see that Peterson has criticised the left for their closeness to dialogue. Honestly, what the fuck is going on here?
Ideological blinders, ignoring context, assuming the worst, you know the rest... The saddest thing is that Three Arrows' understanding of Nazism is pretty close to Peterson's.
"the fourth- third reich". do you have something on your mind, Peterson?
Jordan Peterson: "Giving platform to marxists? Well how about no? What if we gava platform to nazis, just because they say we are different now!"
Also Jordan Peterson: "I am totally a pro free speech guy".
Also Jordan Peterson: *embracing white supremacists and ethnic-cultural supremacists*
