You sir talk out your arse more than anything. You are going to say people do not fight over resources when the native people fought the US government over that. As a matter of fact the US government tried to starve the native people by exterminating the buffalo. You are full of shit sir. Ive lived long enough to know people will fight over resources so have you. I found your analogy about hitler disturbing. You going to give him some advice how to win the war then exterminate...what giving your white supremist ideas...because that about all that listen you. Nothing about unity, self sacrifice for your country and others or equality because you do not believe in those. You are toxic when i look at you i can see right straight through you. You are so dead inside. If in your position you have made enough money from your book... leave the united state go sit with the Dhal Lama and learn how to feel....because you cant. Laugh at me call me ignorant if you want...I've worked in the worst places you can't imagine seen the faces of people. i have seen and heard and felt the faces of people and im telling you Ive seen yours a thousand times from inmates.
Which came first? Nazi or Marxist? Which is the best system? You're talking about WWII without explaining The Great War? Men who fought in the trench's of WWI saw the horror that you or I could never understand or imagine. Even today, historians are still baffled about WWI. Historians agree that the Treaty of Versailles would've forced Germany into another war. Why would Germany, Italy and Japan form an Axis? What was their purpose? Their goal? Is it possible the 3 countries wanted to nip communist Joe Stalin, Mao Zedong in the bud. Camps became "death" camps when the allies starved who ever existed in the camps. Just wish the professor would use some common sense.
I love how his vocabulary is almost endless he doesn't stutter or struggle to find the right word to fill in the sentence, people like this are so interesting to talk to

There's a book called Windswept Lies of War, and it talks from censored history and hidden secrets to lost files and classified documents about World War II, it's the real deal.
I remember in secondary school… Having to do a presentation on ‘who’s the greatest person who ever lived’ and we chose who it was, I’ll keep my reply super short. In a small group we chose who is who, and me being the disliked outcast no one wanted on their team because I generally looked down upon how…. “Simple” people were, (Yeah, Arrogant, but I was bored waiting for them to grow up whilst they were being kids.) For instance, dating, petty childhood gossip and generally poor decisions made against me specifically, like I was bullied a fair bit. That’s just a reflection upon myself at the time. I’m prepared to have ‘that discussion’ with you or anyone else back then, it’s just no one was at that level especially with me. When I got the task of, :”Chosing the greatest person who ever lived within my opinion” - Well… I chose my friend. Well, I say friend, I only knew her for months, I didn’t know her for long, and due to memory loss (Undiagnosed, but I suspect it) I only remember fragments of our time together, granted, we were kids. Not everyone can remember every day they ever lived. She saved my life physically, it’s my belief of the fragments I remember she pushed me out the way of a car that then hit her. At the time and for a few years, I never knew what happened to her, I had to live with some kind of hope she was out there somewhere. I spoke to an old teacher and she told me, my friend (Who for all intends and purposes, wasn’t entirely viewed as a friend to me at the time, hence why I am sceptical on saying the word “friend” ) The teacher told me, she (my friend) was taken to hospital, the people from her home (It was a foster home) stayed with her and she died in hospital. I grew up wondering why she saved me, why did she do that? As I think anyone would do. Perhaps it was just, She couldn’t bare the thought in that moment her only friend (Maybe? closest? She didn’t have many friends in the memories or brief bits I remember). I was told I am NOT allowed to chose my friend, for the greatest person who ever lived. Even if they gave their life to put me in that room. Which is BS that a OPEN ended question like that can be rejected when it doesn’t meet some criteria within a syllabus for marking. If your to do a presentation, it should be on the quality of the presentation, NOT the choice of what the subject is. Instead I was forced into chosing Churchill, Which, History, especially in the UK schools (I started 2001-2012 from year 1, to end of year 11 GCSEs,) Germany and hitler was painted pretty negatively with Churchill painted as the hero we needed in our darkest hour. I don’t know how real or true it is and to what extent. According to a vocal conversation I had with someone (I believe it was family*) Churchill actually locked up the disabled and the disadvantaged people mentally. For instance, say learning difficulty (Autism for instance) and those who physically can’t do something. I’m not that big on history, but whenever a historical piece (Or inspired time setting) within a show comes up, say, Torchwood, Doctor Who, for instance. I always appreciate it when they show it “As it was” and not just gloss over some of the really cruel harsh elements. Like, there was an episode of Torchwood, where a WW2 soldier got displaced in time, and on some day he will go back in time to close a rift in space-time. Cool, They outright note, once he goes back, he’s not just gonna get the rest of his life there, He’s going to go back from the hospital he was in, where he was treated for his wounds from the front line. He was gonna get sent back to the front, he will suffer from shell shock, he will become paralysed and he’s going to get shot by his own team because he directly* can’t continue fighting. In some respects, Churchill and the British, were actually “not so clean” with the British empire for example. I honestly feel in my own opinion, Churchill, that was I told I have to chose, isn’t a clear-cut choice. He may have been the man at the for-front telling us what to believe within. However, he has his own dark elements. My choice, I’m Biased. I maybe entirely wrong within my presumption and how I’ve dealt with the trauma. So I’ll end with this quote from doctor who. “Good is good in the final hour, within the deepest pit, Without hope, Without witness, Without reward”
@@stasisasmr7724 as a history teacher myself, that is frustrating to me. I also give a lot of open ended and subjective questions to my students. You have to accept that students will not all to in the direction you want. Obviously, for you the most important person is the one who saved your life. As to the culpability of Churchill and England, there are several ways to frame it. Culturally, they weren't much different from any other country at the time in regards to mental health. Science ans understanding was not where it is today.
@Maske002 of course, I 100% get that, times have changed, My main thought (which I’m far far from knowing the full picture, and the full picture may paint a different opinion for myself.) But when you look at what England was doing, I get the impression we were being slightly brainwashed to ‘not be’ the bad guys. Within the idea, we by definition invaded countries and occupied them to create the British empire. Which… Granted, Hitler broke every treaty he signed forbidding him from invading country after country. Sure. That’s bad. But on the surface level, I get the impression it could have been very different providing you consider the British empire as a threat to the rest of the world. It’s an interesting thought, and whilst we just have history to look back on. Not the men and women who can give and portray a proper full account of it, genuinely I infer it more than suggest it, because everyone who once tried conquering the earth, started small and worked upwards. Whether it be for some unique belief and was intended for good rather than evil. Or the evil dictator who wanted total control over everywhere. Just on that presentation I once had to give (that I didn’t end up doing) I honestly see zero reason why it could have been either, greatest or worst person by history books. Providing your giving that argument which is what it was, a one sided argument. That would be clearer and allowed that choice to be present. Whilst containing it within the idea of someone past who people probably have heard of already. I also (it’s obvious and doesn’t need saying) the word great and worst is depending on which side you stand on, My argument in a hyperthetical brass tacks sense was. This is who you didn’t hear of. Who isn’t some big position, with high stakes controlling the nation to protect us or whatever. Just a person. You could always have someone who tries doing the right thing and is viewed as a overall good person with a decent heart* But not be remembered for that good attempt* Or someone like my friend who only ever managed to do one thing that you (I mean it politely) could say was a big thing. That had some impact and that’s all it was. But that one impact put me here, It gave me the potential I should say to be here, and if I go onto get past the PTSD, the loss of them, and any and all feelings of doubt and regret, but I put every person I ever meet before myself, Maybe one day, I might, in some way, make that same impact over the chance of years, and to many people. I may go every day singing her praises. And I’d happily give her the credit for it. That’s why she’s a better fit than others. Because I can say she didn’t benefit from what she gave. Quite the opposite, and with a fair few people we learned about in history (mainly wars, the plague, and a tiny bit of foreign history but not really) They all were figures that weren’t (to my opinion) ever explained properly to us, Like for instance Churchill was, Priminister, he gave that one speech and kept the countries spirits going despite nightly bombing… I mean it with no disrespect, history can’t just be taught within a 60 minute lesson, As someone with autism, I do find it hard sometimes to grasp the emotional side as well, (A little off topic) I do like those analytical videos that explain what is in a scene of say a TV/movie, and I may know all the lines for that episode for example* But I never grasped the idea of the not subtle message of say, this character lost someone they cared about, and suddenly gets put in a room where they have to deal with the aftermath, and following hints they are understanding, Suddenly they get told the next hint is buried underground, and so… they (metaphorically) are digging their own grave, So, I don’t know, maybe I never paid attention to history, but applied context is critical to understanding it especially with autism, God bless TH-cam for that!
Wish this guy was my teacher when I was in school. He actually cares about what he’s saying and talking about. Not just memorising a pre written lecture
Most people who say that wouldn’t have actually cared in school. Multiple teachers are like this if you actually pay attention. Then again, I’m biased because the majority of students are complete retards.
The thing that makes it so great is he puts real world relavence and pychology into it so we as the students can actually see the purpose of history in our learning. THATS what makes him a great teacher. Wish more teachers did this tho :(

What do you think conquerors did to the lands and the people they took? Do you think they bought them all ipads? History is written by the victors! Do you have any idea of the horrors conquerors did? Of course Hitler was a conqueror, luckily for us a short lived one. But I forget I need to lower the IQ of this conversation or your brain will melt. But as a tip, have a look at some history books. Believe it or not history goes further back than TV, in things called BOOKs, Ask your mummy to read one out loud for you... BTW Here is a definition " one who conquers : one who wins a country in war, subdues or subjugates a people" I think Hitler did that to a few countries?
@@mism847 then you're not a sociopath; sociopaths lack empathy but are unlike psychopaths who also have an urge to cause suffering, especially physical pain. Only, I don't know why everyone here is talking about this, as if Adolf was either of the two.

I like this guy. I don't know why he gets so much hate. He is an unbiased professional analyst, theorist and teacher. This is what they do. They don't take sides, they don't approve or disapprove. Their job is to analyze and theorize and educate. I see no racism or sexism or anything else. Just a brilliant guy being brilliant.
He's not an unintelligent man when he sticks to his area of specialty, Clinical Psychology. He's certainly not a 1st-rate thinker when he ventures outside his area, especially when he talks about history, politics, Marxism, Secular Humanism, atheism, Global Warming, etc., and frankly he's an embarrassment. If you've seen his debate with Matt Dillahunty, then you'll understand why. His lecture above was not a brilliant analysis because his logic and assumptions were weak and full of holes, too many to mention here. I don't dislike the man, and if he's helped young men and women lead better lives, then I applaud him in that area.
Definitely feel like history & psychology should be taught intertwined together bc yeah, we need to know history to not repeat it but factoring in our human behaviors could help us understand why & how things of the past took place so we *actually* don’t repeat it.
Absolutely couldn't agree more. Just like everything else in reality, psychology is the understanding of any event involving humans. History is no different. Knowing History (what happened) is fine. Pondering the psychology (why it happened) is so much more valuable to us as society, and creating progress.
This is why I love Yuval Noah Hararri’s ‘Sapiens’ so much. It takes human history and analyzes the events from a psychological perspective, talking about development and technology in a whole new way.
Just don't kill a bunch of people. They did it in the past and it was bad. There, now we are in a utopian society where war doesn't exist. I want my Nobel Peace Prize now.
I see what you're saying and I agree we should not just study the event but the reasons for said event. They already are intertwined in a way though, all history has an aspect of psychology because it's all written by people with subjective views of the world and their experiences

Jordan just skips the fact that the expulsion of Jews in Germany started years before the war started. And many of them were in forced labor during the war, for example in the arms industry. What one should realize is that this was a process of 12 years, put into 4 minutes by Jordan.
@Ergorexestu he's just playing out the narrative we've all been taught. By the way, he did advocate for slavery. He's worse than Hitler is said to have been.
I' ve always heard that in war there are two desired outcomes - One is peace, the other is victory and you have to try to figure out which one your opponent is after. If they just want to win at all cost you won't be able to negotiate or find a diplomatic resolution so you just have to try and win also. But this third option never occurred to me. Once he was loosing the war he wanted neither peace nor victory and he just wanted to cause as much chaos and suffering even if it meant loosing. It is quite obvious now that I think about it. He wasn't being strategic at all. So sad that all these ppl died because of a deranged man's massive ego.

@Liban Suleiman, Abel's sacrifice was a blood sacrifice, which foreshadows Christ's blood sacrifice on the cross. Cain's sacrifice lacked blood, which indicates his belief in man to be able to save himself. This is why Abel's sacrifice was accepted by God, and Cain's rejected. One is man-centered, and one is God-centered.
If you look at the Nazis from a logical point off view Jordan makes a lot off sense, but most people don't like that. People like to use there intuition hoping that logic isn't the truth. The death off intuition is the death of ego, only logic can prevail
Hitler killed his victims like a Bond villain would. He wasted time and effort tattooing them, transporting them, cataloging them, clothing them, housing them and then, of course, gassing them. Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot were rather more efficient monsters.

With as many variables as there are in wars and nations I'm not sure it's always best to apply this historically. I'm not entirely sure I buy Hitler wanted to lose the war and kill himself honestly
@@Smoddo It´s more of a subconscious thing. Power is an addictive thing, and in broken people that embrace their own issues instead of facing them leads to self-destructive behaviour.
@@rayra2772 but Peterson is saying Hitler consciously decided to kill rather than enslave, thus his motivation is not winning the war and becoming the most powerful man in the world and conqueer Europe. I just don't get why everyone think that's a genius take Why could it not just as easily be incompetence of not being a good general, evil of wanting to kill people and jews in particular and a thirst to take over the entirety of Europe? Also Hitler could have declared war instantly against the major powers but tried to snatch up as much territory as possible. If chaos and not winning was the goal why play it like that? Or when they tried to make a secret peace with Britain? Why is it instead more likely he wanted to lose war for Germany And where does this outcome = motivation idea end. did Julius Caesar secretly wnat to be assassinated? Did China secretly want to be beaten by the Mongel empire? Did France and Netherlands hunger for German occupation?
@@Smoddo None of those things are mutually exclusive with each other. Let´s make a comparison: imagine winning the war is the equivalent of passing an important exam for a student; commiting to the mass genocide is the equivalent of procrastinating Maybe this specific student isn´t the brightest guy out there and therefore even if he tried hard to study, he would still have serious issues to pass the exam anyways (aka incompetence), but even if this was the case, I think it doesn´t take rocket science to realize that procrastination is a waste of time, and yet, a lot of people still do it. Not because they don´t want to pass the exam, but because deep inside they would like to be doing something else instead of studying. Now, extrapolate it to Hitler and WWII. Someone that gives deliberately more priority to procrastination than to passing the exam, maybe is someone that wants to do whatever they want to do and uses the excuse of making the exam so people don´t question him. Maybe this procrastinator could be deluded into his own lies, and he also believes he is trying to pass the exam when he isn´t, and that way he will be able to shut his own conscience when it starts questioning him too. Just don´t underestimate the capacity of people for self-deception, specially when they have power.
Other historians, thinkers, etc: "The reasons why the Nazis did what they did are vast and many." Jordan Peterson: "Yeah, but maybe they were also just plain evil."
Adolf Hitler* - it's illogical to say that the reason why the 'average nazi' did bad shit was because they were evil. Some of them, yes. Others, because they were too afraid to oppose, they liked being the superior race and chose to ignore immorality, or perhaps because they believed the shit that Hitler was spewing to hide his true intentions (according to this guy). I'm sure you know that already lol. Just wanted to put it out there.
@@des0163 no...many in the German populationwere completely compliant and agreed with National Soc. Policies. Evil is in all hearts. You don't have to be a mass murderer to be evil, folks.
@@titianmom Which is actually what historians agree on today. History changed from the "the normal man did not know" narrative of the cold war to the "most accepted it and complied". And you can actually see that in some quite funny ways. For example libraries. If people buy Hitlers Mein Kampf the old "They bought it, to have it on the shelve!" excuse comes in very fast. But libraries lend them to you. Nobody put library books they lended up for show, especially since they are visibaily marked as library books. People lend those books to read them. So we got to assume that people who got those books from libraries read them and knew what Hitler planned. Turns out there were record highs in libraries lending out Hitlers Mein Kampf, so much that many libraries were short on the book and had to buy additional copies.
Theres a profound quote i found that sums the Hitler experience in a different way from what we see. While we all put him on a pedestal, the horrific side of it is actually that many people involved allowed him to imolement his morbid idea, no matter his motivation. "Hitler could do nothing without the cooperation, support and willing submission od millions of people." The astonishment is not that a Hitler came along but that many others went along. Edit: I appreciate all of yours understanding of my post and Im glad you're sharing your opinions and discussing it.
This is soft revisionism. It denies all of our extensive historical knowledge showing Hitler’s clear direct responsibility for, and direction of, the Holocaust. Why is this important? Because blame placed everywhere is blame placed nowhere.
@@scientifikx99 youre basically saying that instead of blaming everyone who is responsible, its best to pick one and just blame them. In doing so youre releasing thousands of others from their responsibility. Its liek having 5 people kill someone and they point finger at one of them saying "he made us do it". So now 4 of them runs free while only one is sentenced. Putting blame on other people is what is wrong with the society.
@@salimalbitar salim albitar That can be said for many people because we are very liable and easily manipulated to act a specific way eventho we think and feel differently.

In all of this is obvious that one person holds the blame, yet thousands are involved. Making no action is action itself.
@@scientifikx99 the genocide side of it came much later on and that was from Hitler himself. But he got into power because of Versailles, the dire economic crisis and the lingering deep resentment from ww1 among the population.
I had one of those guys as a history and societal teacher during the upper secondary school in Sweden - years of like 16 to 18. He had the same disposition - the vivid talent to make history with its actors and structure perspectives to come alive. He put much emphesis to the students´ ability to challange him with own analysis than to just repeat him or the books for higher grades. Happy times!
unfortunately, his version of history is not really the truth either, it just fit's his narrative. The Nazis did enslave the ones capable to work, they just did not spent any resources (e.g. food) on them and killed them once they were useless. Estimated 6-8 million people were forced into forced labor and for Jews and Synthi and Roma, the official strategy was "extermination through labor". Goebbels came up with this strategy and sold them to companies where they had a life expectancy of a couple month and the Reich made a lot of money from them. They even made a lot of money from the corpses. There are detailed cold blooded profitability analysis documents adding up profits of about 1500 Reichsmark and expenses like 2 Reichsmark for burning the corpse. So of course he wanted to win, he assumed he could turn the tide until basically hours before he died and then he assumed that they all betrayed him. Like Trump, every failure by himself or one of his goons was interpreted by him as a personal attack or betrayal (typical narcissist). That doesn't mean he didn't want to win.

Not sure why this guy thinks that's why Hitler lost the war. However after studying WWII for the last 40 myself and having extensive knowledge on this subject, Hitler lost the war for one reason and one reason only. And that reason was he took on the Russians in the east, whilst fighting the allies in the west. Not enough manpower for both, and not being equipped for the eastern front with limited resources, and his men didn't have the correct equipment in the east. This last part cost Hitler's army to lose vast amounts of men, and what equipment they had, which accelerated the loss of the war. Having manpower in those concentration camps which was small in comparison to say an army, would not have been enough to cover both front's and those men and women did not have the equipment even if they had been sent to the front line. So this in utter nonsense. If it's one thing i do know it's my history on this war, and this war alone. I am also sure that this guy has not been looking over and studying this subject like i have for forty years or more. Hitler was not particularly evil himself. He didn't just wake up one day and think i know i will kill all these people in camps, no. His henchmen did that, they came to Hitler with these ideas and put them to him. Hitler put Germany back on track in the 1930's with rebuilding and putting people to work and giving them food, homes, jobs and a future to look forward too. However thing's went from bad to worse when the final solution was thought of, and Hitler wanted revenge for the loss of WW1. I do think even though the guy is giving a talk and has the title of a professor, he should go away and look at the real event's that took place, like Hitler not taking the correct advice from his generals when thing's needed a generals advice to be followed. These thing's cost Hitler the war. Not a few thousand men in camps. Worst thing of all here is, this guy is being listened too, and being paid for giving incorrect information, which distorts history in the teaching. God help us.
@@timokohler6631 there is a Hitler in all of us, in me and in you. The world likes to hate Hitler as though they are so different. You haven’t looked deep enough inside yourself
On the contrary, I’d imagine his exams are a breeze considering how effective his teaching is. I actually had a professor of similar quality and I was able to pass with flying colors and never have to study once.
@@eMercody - Same, I had a few instructors that were so effective that their tests were amazingly easy. That is how it should be. I also had an instructor that gave good lectures but these never once aligned with the exams - ever.
@@Cecilia-ky3uw - I imagine so. My instructors expected us to work together on homework, study, and preparation for tests. The collective power between everyone helps to insure good scores, high spirits, less stress, and a more successful student. However, some students refused to take advantage of everyone working in groups and those were the ones to usually get bad grades. Another instructor would go through his material quickly. His class was limited to 3 hours per week and he had 6 hours of material to cover. His tests were pulled directly from his lectures and he would hint at would be on his test. Chances are not everyone was able to transcribe notes quickly enough so the expectation was for every student to come together and fill in the missing pieces to study. Those who did this always got good grades and those who didn't have difficulty passing the course. All the tools were made available, the student just had to learn to work with others and compile a complete note set to study in preparation.
imagine it just turns out he's Hitler reincarnated telling us how he should've done things in the first place. joking aside this guy makes history even more fun, reminds me of the passion my history teacher had.
Everytime I watch Mr Peterson, I feel like I walk away a little bit smarter, more informed and better equipped to understand others and myself, he’s the real deal.

According to his sister, Paula, Adolf Hitler was beaten nearly daily as a child by his alcoholic stepfather, Alois. On two occasions, Hitler was "left for dead" from these beatings, which sometimes ended in strangulation. He sustained nerve damage from a mustard gas attack during WWI, which left him blind in a military hospital for three days. He lost his platoon comrades during another attack, which he was lucky to survive, but which left him with "survivor's guilt." Like other frontline soldiers, he was given methamphetamines by the German army--it helps soldiers need less sleep--which he apparently continued to use throughout his lifetime, and he also developed a cocaine habit. (Cocaine was actually prescribed to him by one of his many weird doctors as a "treatment" for chronic daily headaches - a pressure in his head that left him "unable to think," quite possibly related to his repressed anger.) He was probably schizophrenic and almost certainly had Parkinson's Disease and was chronically sleep deprived. Not that the guy was a saint, mind you, but he was quite traumatized and obviously THOROUGHLY CLINICALLY INSANE... unlike tens of millions of people who obeyed his orders. Now that's a narrative we don't hear too often. Why? Because we like the idea of a lone, evil person being primarily responsible rather than something more complex and human and distributed that invites everyone to consider his or her own potential for horrific actions given the right set of circumstances. My mother is Jewish, fwiw, and I consider myself Jewish, too. I'm neither condoning Hitler, nor minimizing the absolute tragedy of WWII and the Holocaust, just suggesting we don't pin it all on one suffering lunatic bastard, which he obviously was, literally and figuratively.
This is actually quite significant with the trials that followed the end of the war. I am sure you have heard of these trials where people would often blame the higher ups and that they were just following orders. This excuse that they made of course is very well flawed, however that is just how it was quite often with these trials. So most of the blame was essentially shifted to Hitler, in addition to that the leader often becomes the one to take the blame or the fault when bad things occur. Hitler was just angry and bloody mad, so when the masses followed it just was crazy. Not many were very willing to do anything because they were scared of him. Honestly though the people who took the heinous orders of killing and torturing for him are responsible with the blood on their hands. They may have gotten the order, but it was their choice to obey. This is not to exempt Hitler though, he was just a bloody mad nut that wanted people to be forced into pain.
@@numbernumber25 An interesting thing I learned a bit about in psychology is that human obedience is crazy. There were experiments (Stanley Milgrim) and they were instructed to shock the person on the other side if they didn't memorize a long sheet of paper (as it was being said). Most people went up to the max amount of volts possible. There was no real physical harm done, and they weren't forced in the way you'd expect. They were politely told to continue shocking, and basically all of them did. It proves that under the right circumstances, majority of humanity would cave. The reason I bring that up is because this test was based off these people saying they were following orders. No excuses on their part, and I don't condone it a bit, but it's scary to think about. They do indeed have blood on their hands, and it's not a good thing.
@@psychott6 Agreed, I believe I heard of the experiment. I think there was several settings on the gauge of electricity box they could adjust, of course no one was actually getting hurt it was just a prop hooked to a audio player that would play a different voice message depending on the voltage setting. One of the most brilliant things about the experiment was the use of electricity and audio recordings. Prior to the ability to record audio, I do not believe the researchers could have designed an obedience and order experiment as good. But yeah you are correct that it does show that many would follow along to the situation and orders, however it still does not completely excuse them for their choices. It does though explain their choices which is very important, as it depicts that even if the person is not being threatened that they could still continue despite what they may consider to be concerning or bad. I believe that you make a good point though in terms of understanding what may have gone through the person's mindset with many of the soldiers. I say this specifically because using imaginations and thinking through situations can only go far before it either misses the result or takes a different path, so using an experiment to simulate a similar situation would grant people more insight to what the people were willing to do. But yeah it is just really unfortunate that we as humans are easy to bend to the will of someone else. In a position of a power dynamic things probably would push the person to be more obedient to commit acts which are just down right disgusting as being threatened will probably set in motion the person to focus on their life or the life of the person they are ordered to kill.
How easy it is to seduce "the masses" was shown only a very short period of time ago by the person in White House - before Biden... Promise silly people what they want to hear and almost everybody will switch off the brain and shout "hooray".... no, mankind is not a very good thing. The evil is in us. In everyone of us. And it needs a lot of work not to give in to it.
@@Freiya2011 Well I would say that having a person rant in grand speeches is probably a higher idea of speaking than just regular speeches. But yeah you are correct, one issue in particular is that when people are not liked very much they will often target a group of people and shift any blame towards them. This also works for when they just need to make someone look bad so they could justify the use of government power to show that they are doing something. This way people would not question as much on whether the person is actually doing their job since everyone's attention is on the group that the person is basically throwing crud at. This is probably one of the worst things to happen because it happens pretty often in history and is still present today
Stalin was equally or even more worse than Hitler but it makes 0 sense to bring his name up in this conversation right now unless you’re trying to play H. actions down
You just missed the point of this video. In the case of Hitler, him killing Jews was more of an end rather than means to an end. In the case of Stalin, the gulags were the means to reach his end (building socialism in short time). This makes Hitler more evil because during the end of the war he allocated a significant portion of his resources in eliminating the Jews instead of focusing on the war effort.

But UNLIKE him, I *DON’T* need the “Tell the truth” reminder. He and Mikhaila are totally despicable.
Wrong, JP does have his biases. His ideas are heavily influenced by his traditional christian background which makes his lessons on marriage, dating and family in the modern day a possible death sentence, especially if you're male. His reasons for why people marry are dead wrong, his dating advice doesn't take human nature into account, and his views on family are hopelessly idealistic. Don't get me wrong, JP does have good advice, but not all of it.
@@kaptinbarfbeerd1317 Well I'm sure everyone has their own biases/leanings according to their respective backgrounds, how does that make him any less objective compared to the average modern thinker.
@@elijahhartman5799 If the conclusions JP talks about come from his traditional christian background, they are biased by definition. I'll give you an example. JP says (and I'm paraphrasing here) that women who don't want to be mothers are messed in the head. He does not take into account there are women out there who regret becoming mothers. Some women remember their parents being miserable and they don't want to be the same. Some forgo family for financial reasons. Or the women who feel like indentured slaves being housewives. Or that there are women out there who would rather use their time for other pursuits. Or the countless women who regret marrying their husbands. He doesn't address these issues either, he just reverts to the traditional female gender role as the way things should be while those who don't fit that definition are brushed off as a minority without evidence. I'm not sure what the numbers are either but I have seen surveys were a majority of women regret marrying their husbands. If his traditional christian worldview wasn't holding him back, I'm sure he could come to a different conclusion.
@@Peter-qe1yh wdym hitler did mass murder Jews when he was losing the war the questions why you think obviously he just accepted his fate and decided to take them out with him but I doubt it was simply because of hate I think he genuinely thought that in the long run exterminating the Jewish population would be more beneficial to his country then saving the lives of the soldiers by giving up in their final stand
@@thanezollman5269 Hitler hastened the extermination because the wermarcht was facing a food shortage and they didn't want to feed prisoners anymore near the end of the war.

@Dane Griffard I haven't seen Peterson ever use the word holocaust... Or explain the role of rabid antisemitism in explaining the Holocaust. Do you have any links?
@@luizmarinho6138 maybe. But he has said before he does it because he is speaking TO each of them - that doesn't necessarily mean he is doing it to make sure they're paying attention
I have taught history in high school for 30 years. I enjoyed the video and the comments. I have always wondered how disabled Hitler was with shell shock from the first war. I also have Jewish roots and have taken crap from other co workers for not describing Hitler as a "monster." I absolutely refuse to do this because he was NOT a monster. He was a human being who committed "monstrous," acts. The more we refer to him as such the more we increase the chances of his ilk returning because we assume he was a fluke. He wasn't. "Why are all of you celebrating? Hitler IS dead. But the bitch that bore him is still in heat." Bertolt Brecht 1946
The most terrifying thing about Hitler is that he was basically a "Joe 6-pack" character, and average boring loser who got rejected from art school, managed to make corporal in the army, and didn't have much else going for him. If someone had killed him in the cradle, there might still be another one like him that would've done the same thing surrounded by the same cast of characters. He wasn't that smart, he wasn't that unique, he was just some random loser with a megaphone.
@@lashlarue7924 wow, many western leaders were impressed by hitler before the war, he turned germany around, he also didn't sign off on the final solution , himmler took that in hand all by himself,not hitler, yes he turned a blind eye for sure. take the jew out of the equation and you have quite a prolific leader. we fought the wrong enemy as has been said many times now. lets not forget the treaty created this also.
“If you can’t figure out what someone’s doing or why, look at the outcome, and infer the motivation.” Wow. Crazy how much I align with this level of thinking. Great piece here, loved it.
Yes, Peterson just described himself. Why do you think he has a thousand YT videos? He's getting filthy rich by promoting political confrontation. Suckers!
Inference is the enemy of reason. This may the single most ill-advised quip Peterson has ever contrived. I suggest, if you can't figure out what someone is doing -- ask them. Injecting yet another layer of your own psychosis onto another's actions as a means to rationalize it is a display of narcissism.
This right here is why Jordan Peterson is a disgusting shill. Totally wrong view about everything relating to WW2. Go back on your antidepressants, Jordy. Nobody wants to hear your hot takes on history.
This was an interesting perspective on Hitler's motivations - Hitler simply destroyed because his intention was to destroy rather than win a war and create some reich etc. But it assumes that Hitler was rational to some degree. It made me think of the current situation with Erdogan in Turkey, the man who thinks that reducing interest rates is the way to fight inflation. If he destroys the Turkish economy is that because his actual intention is to destroy it.
As someone who fled Turkey because of this becoming increasingly clear, I believe you are 100% correct. With Turkeys previous rulers leaving them in dire condition, all the citizens treated Erdogan and his party like Gods, pretty damn similar to Germany during this era. Even today with the increasingly horrible economy in Turkey people still worship the man and this video made me rethink if his intention really was to bring Turkey back to power, especially since him and his party are basically the only people benefitting from the mayhem...
The entire world is destroying the financial system on purpose. Crypto is slowly being adopted. The pandemic is partly real but mostly being used as a cover up.
And the people blindly following his ideas, almost even glorifying him as if he were a holy figure, are in the majority too. Kind of scary to think whether or not my home country will survive in his hands.
This assumes that one can desire one outcome while producing another out of ignorance or false ideals. It seems to me to be perfectly coherent that Hitler simply believed false things that he thought would produce the effects he desired but in fact produced the reverse. So as things got worse he simply pushed the accelerator to the floor on his ideals which he thought would fix the problem but in fact was only accelerating the outcomes that were the opposite of what he wanted. False ideals sincerely believed.
Exactly. Peterson seems unwilling to grasp the obvious, that it's common for people to make decisions that cause disastrous outcomes they never intended or wanted, at any level, not even "deep down." Especially crackpots with elaborate false beliefs, because those are wildly out of kilter with reality.
I made a criticism of Peterson's delivery on this video. Your analysis provided a much more clear picture of his overall point. Thank you for the clarity and perhaps you may help Peterson speak to the masses in a more coherent way without such ambiguous delivery.
@D Sullivan well you would start a war to win, but when you're losing, your strategy should change as conditions change. Devoting resources to commit genocide during a war is wasteful and not conducive to winning. The fact that Hitler accelerated the rate at which they were killing Jews and POWs suggest that he didn't plan to do such after the war and that suggests that he had the knowledge that he already lost the war.
I would suggest you all take a look at the overall point here instead of trying to sound intelligent. His point is that some people don't have a "logical" reason for their actions. Mental illness like psychopathy or schizophrenia aren't brand new we are just more aware of them. His point is that it doesn't mean someone with one of those mental illnesses is less or more clever or successful, you're just judging by the wrong metrics. He's absolutely correct in that Hitler's approach to "the war" was not in any way predicated on winning. His actions don't make sense to you and me because they are only meant to make sense to him. Thusly he presents the psychological concept that if you can't glean a rational motivation from the person look at the outcome.
It's unfortunate that Jordan cant ask these same questions about Israel right now. Would it look like THIS if they were actually trying to "win a war"? The Daily Wire's Jordan Peterson isnt capable of asking these same questions anymore. It's been over a year now and he hasnt even begun to look at where the Israeli "trains" are going and why.

@@geronimostanding5145: He's referencing the biblical account recorded in chapter 4 of Genesis which tells of the two brothers "Cain" and "Abel," Cain being the one who murdered his brother out of jealousy and spite.
Yup. The desires outcome usually reveals the intent the person was aiming at. That aspect cannot be ignored or overstated enough to understand things in a much better perspective
I can understand this argument, but my problem is that it’s fine to do this analysis on a single person, or even a group of like mined people, but the Nazi war machine was a vast organisation involving many different people from many different backgrounds and this includes the entire structure behind the concentration camps. How can we assume everyone involved was just doing it to create mayhem through an evil in the psyche? There was definitely more behind it than just that, the argument he puts forward is just as much an underestimation as the argument that it’s over natural resources. Hitler himself didn’t pass any specific instructions of what to do, it’s well known that it was those trying to impress him to further their own careers that interpreted his mumbo jumbo into an evil killing machine, and they weren’t all the same. Himmler, Heidrich, Mengele etc were evil individuals without a doubt, but they all had different motives.
your argument is valid, however we need to see that this is a 4ish minute snippet of what was most defiantly a much larger discussion/lesson. we dont see the very beginning of what he was talking about that lead to this.
Jordan is talking about looking at someone's actions and you'll find out his/her motivations. The nazi example is a little bit harsh but it conveys the mesage that actions follos thoughts
I think it is important that he’s referring to Hitler specifically and not all of Nazis. Because he’s talking about his motivation. The Nazis themselves are a mixed bag of motivations. Some of which is to serve their inspiring idol seen in Hitler. Meaning that for them they may have actually believed what they were doing was for some sort of cause. Others opened their eyes and regret what they did. Some were just as evil as him.
Maybe Hitler was really pissed off after they kicked him out of art school. I've heard something to the tune of, "If the village is cold to the child, the child will burn the village to the ground to feel the warmth."
That argument holds no water in my case. It made me want to make sure I never did the same to anyone else. My success is in spite of a number of things.
Some of em just waiting for an excuse to let go on the world, even though that won’t even fill the hole in his soul, or if he has no soul or was metaphorically a man that looks at his self as a saint for the Germans on earth... to young and overzealous men ready to prove themselves, that’s tempting.. but he musta been a helluva talker cuz it would take some just over the top rants and just got down on it .. it was something I have studied in depth.... but the mans still satan because he couldn’t fill the hole
@leonard mathes Exaclty. Plus Peterson is wrong here - the Nazis absolutely used the Jews as slave labor. Most of them died of starvation brought on by allied bombing of supply chains, or typhus.
Honestly, if teachers would have been like him, I think us students would have no problem making studying one of our hobbies, rather than fearing the subject and just mugging them up to get marks

I remember in secondary school…
Having to do a presentation on ‘who’s the greatest person who ever lived’ and we chose who it was, I’ll keep my reply super short. In a small group we chose who is who, and me being the disliked outcast no one wanted on their team because I generally looked down upon how…. “Simple” people were, (Yeah, Arrogant, but I was bored waiting for them to grow up whilst they were being kids.) For instance, dating, petty childhood gossip and generally poor decisions made against me specifically, like I was bullied a fair bit. That’s just a reflection upon myself at the time. I’m prepared to have ‘that discussion’ with you or anyone else back then, it’s just no one was at that level especially with me.
When I got the task of, :”Chosing the greatest person who ever lived within my opinion” - Well… I chose my friend. Well, I say friend, I only knew her for months, I didn’t know her for long, and due to memory loss (Undiagnosed, but I suspect it) I only remember fragments of our time together, granted, we were kids. Not everyone can remember every day they ever lived.
She saved my life physically, it’s my belief of the fragments I remember she pushed me out the way of a car that then hit her. At the time and for a few years, I never knew what happened to her, I had to live with some kind of hope she was out there somewhere. I spoke to an old teacher and she told me, my friend (Who for all intends and purposes, wasn’t entirely viewed as a friend to me at the time, hence why I am sceptical on saying the word “friend” ) The teacher told me, she (my friend) was taken to hospital, the people from her home (It was a foster home) stayed with her and she died in hospital.
I grew up wondering why she saved me, why did she do that? As I think anyone would do.
Perhaps it was just, She couldn’t bare the thought in that moment her only friend (Maybe? closest? She didn’t have many friends in the memories or brief bits I remember).
I was told I am NOT allowed to chose my friend, for the greatest person who ever lived. Even if they gave their life to put me in that room. Which is BS that a OPEN ended question like that can be rejected when it doesn’t meet some criteria within a syllabus for marking. If your to do a presentation, it should be on the quality of the presentation, NOT the choice of what the subject is.
Instead I was forced into chosing Churchill, Which, History, especially in the UK schools (I started 2001-2012 from year 1, to end of year 11 GCSEs,) Germany and hitler was painted pretty negatively with Churchill painted as the hero we needed in our darkest hour.
I don’t know how real or true it is and to what extent. According to a vocal conversation I had with someone (I believe it was family*) Churchill actually locked up the disabled and the disadvantaged people mentally. For instance, say learning difficulty (Autism for instance) and those who physically can’t do something. I’m not that big on history, but whenever a historical piece (Or inspired time setting) within a show comes up, say, Torchwood, Doctor Who, for instance. I always appreciate it when they show it “As it was” and not just gloss over some of the really cruel harsh elements. Like, there was an episode of Torchwood, where a WW2 soldier got displaced in time, and on some day he will go back in time to close a rift in space-time. Cool,
They outright note, once he goes back, he’s not just gonna get the rest of his life there, He’s going to go back from the hospital he was in, where he was treated for his wounds from the front line. He was gonna get sent back to the front, he will suffer from shell shock, he will become paralysed and he’s going to get shot by his own team because he directly* can’t continue fighting.
In some respects, Churchill and the British, were actually “not so clean” with the British empire for example.
I honestly feel in my own opinion, Churchill, that was I told I have to chose, isn’t a clear-cut choice. He may have been the man at the for-front telling us what to believe within. However, he has his own dark elements.
My choice, I’m Biased. I maybe entirely wrong within my presumption and how I’ve dealt with the trauma. So I’ll end with this quote from doctor who.
“Good is good in the final hour, within the deepest pit, Without hope, Without witness, Without reward”
@@stasisasmr7724 as a history teacher myself, that is frustrating to me. I also give a lot of open ended and subjective questions to my students. You have to accept that students will not all to in the direction you want. Obviously, for you the most important person is the one who saved your life.
As to the culpability of Churchill and England, there are several ways to frame it. Culturally, they weren't much different from any other country at the time in regards to mental health. Science ans understanding was not where it is today.
@Maske002 of course, I 100% get that, times have changed,
My main thought (which I’m far far from knowing the full picture, and the full picture may paint a different opinion for myself.)
But when you look at what England was doing, I get the impression we were being slightly brainwashed to ‘not be’ the bad guys. Within the idea, we by definition invaded countries and occupied them to create the British empire.
Which… Granted, Hitler broke every treaty he signed forbidding him from invading country after country.
Sure. That’s bad. But on the surface level, I get the impression it could have been very different providing you consider the British empire as a threat to the rest of the world.
It’s an interesting thought, and whilst we just have history to look back on. Not the men and women who can give and portray a proper full account of it, genuinely I infer it more than suggest it, because everyone who once tried conquering the earth, started small and worked upwards.
Whether it be for some unique belief and was intended for good rather than evil. Or the evil dictator who wanted total control over everywhere.
Just on that presentation I once had to give (that I didn’t end up doing) I honestly see zero reason why it could have been either, greatest or worst person by history books.
Providing your giving that argument which is what it was, a one sided argument. That would be clearer and allowed that choice to be present. Whilst containing it within the idea of someone past who people probably have heard of already.
I also (it’s obvious and doesn’t need saying) the word great and worst is depending on which side you stand on,
My argument in a hyperthetical brass tacks sense was. This is who you didn’t hear of. Who isn’t some big position, with high stakes controlling the nation to protect us or whatever.
Just a person. You could always have someone who tries doing the right thing and is viewed as a overall good person with a decent heart*
But not be remembered for that good attempt*
Or someone like my friend who only ever managed to do one thing that you (I mean it politely) could say was a big thing. That had some impact and that’s all it was. But that one impact put me here,
It gave me the potential I should say to be here, and if I go onto get past the PTSD, the loss of them, and any and all feelings of doubt and regret, but I put every person I ever meet before myself,
Maybe one day, I might, in some way, make that same impact over the chance of years, and to many people. I may go every day singing her praises. And I’d happily give her the credit for it.
That’s why she’s a better fit than others. Because I can say she didn’t benefit from what she gave. Quite the opposite, and with a fair few people we learned about in history (mainly wars, the plague, and a tiny bit of foreign history but not really)
They all were figures that weren’t (to my opinion) ever explained properly to us,
Like for instance Churchill was, Priminister, he gave that one speech and kept the countries spirits going despite nightly bombing… I mean it with no disrespect, history can’t just be taught within a 60 minute lesson,
As someone with autism, I do find it hard sometimes to grasp the emotional side as well,
(A little off topic) I do like those analytical videos that explain what is in a scene of say a TV/movie, and I may know all the lines for that episode for example*
But I never grasped the idea of the not subtle message of say, this character lost someone they cared about, and suddenly gets put in a room where they have to deal with the aftermath, and following hints they are understanding,
Suddenly they get told the next hint is buried underground, and so… they (metaphorically) are digging their own grave,
So, I don’t know, maybe I never paid attention to history, but applied context is critical to understanding it especially with autism,
God bless TH-cam for that!
the problem is that the governments dont want ppl this smart or at least they dont want us to start thinking about many topics
Especially in relation to the Nazi's. The fact they were able to indoctrinate Germans is fascinating.

Definitely feel like history & psychology should be taught intertwined together bc yeah, we need to know history to not repeat it but factoring in our human behaviors could help us understand why & how things of the past took place so we *actually* don’t repeat it.
Absolutely couldn't agree more. Just like everything else in reality, psychology is the understanding of any event involving humans. History is no different. Knowing History (what happened) is fine. Pondering the psychology (why it happened) is so much more valuable to us as society, and creating progress.
This is why I love Yuval Noah Hararri’s ‘Sapiens’ so much. It takes human history and analyzes the events from a psychological perspective, talking about development and technology in a whole new way.
Just don't kill a bunch of people. They did it in the past and it was bad. There, now we are in a utopian society where war doesn't exist. I want my Nobel Peace Prize now.

If they just want to win at all cost you won't be able to negotiate or find a diplomatic resolution so you just have to try and win also. But this third option never occurred to me.

Also Hitler could have declared war instantly against the major powers but tried to snatch up as much territory as possible. If chaos and not winning was the goal why play it like that?
Or when they tried to make a secret peace with Britain?
Why is it instead more likely he wanted to lose war for Germany
And where does this outcome = motivation idea end. did Julius Caesar secretly wnat to be assassinated? Did China secretly want to be beaten by the Mongel empire? Did France and Netherlands hunger for German occupation?
@@Smoddo None of those things are mutually exclusive with each other. Let´s make a comparison: imagine winning the war is the equivalent of passing an important exam for a student; commiting to the mass genocide is the equivalent of procrastinating
Maybe this specific student isn´t the brightest guy out there and therefore even if he tried hard to study, he would still have serious issues to pass the exam anyways (aka incompetence), but even if this was the case, I think it doesn´t take rocket science to realize that procrastination is a waste of time, and yet, a lot of people still do it. Not because they don´t want to pass the exam, but because deep inside they would like to be doing something else instead of studying.
Now, extrapolate it to Hitler and WWII. Someone that gives deliberately more priority to procrastination than to passing the exam, maybe is someone that wants to do whatever they want to do and uses the excuse of making the exam so people don´t question him. Maybe this procrastinator could be deluded into his own lies, and he also believes he is trying to pass the exam when he isn´t, and that way he will be able to shut his own conscience when it starts questioning him too.

I had one of those guys as a history and societal teacher during the upper secondary school in Sweden - years of like 16 to 18. He had the same disposition - the vivid talent to make history with its actors and structure perspectives to come alive. He put much emphesis to the students´ ability to challange him with own analysis than to just repeat him or the books for higher grades. Happy times!
Than what you had was a true teacher. Not a memorization of facts but a deep understanding of what happened
unfortunately, his version of history is not really the truth either, it just fit's his narrative. The Nazis did enslave the ones capable to work, they just did not spent any resources (e.g. food) on them and killed them once they were useless. Estimated 6-8 million people were forced into forced labor and for Jews and Synthi and Roma, the official strategy was "extermination through labor". Goebbels came up with this strategy and sold them to companies where they had a life expectancy of a couple month and the Reich made a lot of money from them. They even made a lot of money from the corpses. There are detailed cold blooded profitability analysis documents adding up profits of about 1500 Reichsmark and expenses like 2 Reichsmark for burning the corpse.
So of course he wanted to win, he assumed he could turn the tide until basically hours before he died and then he assumed that they all betrayed him. Like Trump, every failure by himself or one of his goons was interpreted by him as a personal attack or betrayal (typical narcissist). That doesn't mean he didn't want to win.

I guess it depends on your teachers, then. My History and English teacher was still amazingly interesting online.
But yeah, I get it, irl is always better. I wish I could have had my first year "normally" as well. Will you get to go back to class this year?
Depends what you study. I studied a science degree and it was pure tedium
In person classes are boring when you have a boring teacher.
It’s pretty gruesome when you have a class on ww1 and ww2 when you have a professor like this. Tbh they get some sort of intellectual joy from learning and reading and understanding suffering. Rather than a focus on the good and positive, it honestly can be psychologically exhausting. There’s a lot of evil in this world, and a lot of good to balance it out. Never forget that. It’s all fun and games until they keep going into detail about how the details of trench warfare and how whole piles of bodies were just left to decompose.

@brightsun singh You selling him?😅
Not sure why this guy thinks that's why Hitler lost the war. However after studying WWII for the last 40 myself and having extensive knowledge on this subject, Hitler lost the war for one reason and one reason only. And that reason was he took on the Russians in the east, whilst fighting the allies in the west. Not enough manpower for both, and not being equipped for the eastern front with limited resources, and his men didn't have the correct equipment in the east. This last part cost Hitler's army to lose vast amounts of men, and what equipment they had, which accelerated the loss of the war.
Having manpower in those concentration camps which was small in comparison to say an army, would not have been enough to cover both front's and those men and women did not have the equipment even if they had been sent to the front line.
So this in utter nonsense.
If it's one thing i do know it's my history on this war, and this war alone. I am also sure that this guy has not been looking over and studying this subject like i have for forty years or more. Hitler was not particularly evil himself. He didn't just wake up one day and think i know i will kill all these people in camps, no. His henchmen did that, they came to Hitler with these ideas and put them to him. Hitler put Germany back on track in the 1930's with rebuilding and putting people to work and giving them food, homes, jobs and a future to look forward too. However thing's went from bad to worse when the final solution was thought of, and Hitler wanted revenge for the loss of WW1.
I do think even though the guy is giving a talk and has the title of a professor, he should go away and look at the real event's that took place, like Hitler not taking the correct advice from his generals when thing's needed a generals advice to be followed. These thing's cost Hitler the war. Not a few thousand men in camps.
Worst thing of all here is, this guy is being listened too, and being paid for giving incorrect information, which distorts history in the teaching.

@@eMercody Exactly. I assume his tests are actually about how much you've learned, and not how much you remembered from a book you read last night.
@@eMercody - Same, I had a few instructors that were so effective that their tests were amazingly easy. That is how it should be. I also had an instructor that gave good lectures but these never once aligned with the exams - ever.
@@Cecilia-ky3uw - I imagine so. My instructors expected us to work together on homework, study, and preparation for tests. The collective power between everyone helps to insure good scores, high spirits, less stress, and a more successful student. However, some students refused to take advantage of everyone working in groups and those were the ones to usually get bad grades.
Another instructor would go through his material quickly. His class was limited to 3 hours per week and he had 6 hours of material to cover. His tests were pulled directly from his lectures and he would hint at would be on his test. Chances are not everyone was able to transcribe notes quickly enough so the expectation was for every student to come together and fill in the missing pieces to study. Those who did this always got good grades and those who didn't have difficulty passing the course. All the tools were made available, the student just had to learn to work with others and compile a complete note set to study in preparation.
I'd hate to grade his paper. Maps of meaning is near incomprehensible. Absolute word salad

Joe Lackey Well the value of a kidney translates into college tuition for some English classes, so there's a start
According to his sister, Paula, Adolf Hitler was beaten nearly daily as a child by his alcoholic stepfather, Alois. On two occasions, Hitler was "left for dead" from these beatings, which sometimes ended in strangulation. He sustained nerve damage from a mustard gas attack during WWI, which left him blind in a military hospital for three days. He lost his platoon comrades during another attack, which he was lucky to survive, but which left him with "survivor's guilt." Like other frontline soldiers, he was given methamphetamines by the German army--it helps soldiers need less sleep--which he apparently continued to use throughout his lifetime, and he also developed a cocaine habit. (Cocaine was actually prescribed to him by one of his many weird doctors as a "treatment" for chronic daily headaches - a pressure in his head that left him "unable to think," quite possibly related to his repressed anger.) He was probably schizophrenic and almost certainly had Parkinson's Disease and was chronically sleep deprived. Not that the guy was a saint, mind you, but he was quite traumatized and obviously THOROUGHLY CLINICALLY INSANE... unlike tens of millions of people who obeyed his orders.
Now that's a narrative we don't hear too often. Why? Because we like the idea of a lone, evil person being primarily responsible rather than something more complex and human and distributed that invites everyone to consider his or her own potential for horrific actions given the right set of circumstances. My mother is Jewish, fwiw, and I consider myself Jewish, too. I'm neither condoning Hitler, nor minimizing the absolute tragedy of WWII and the Holocaust, just suggesting we don't pin it all on one suffering lunatic bastard, which he obviously was, literally and figuratively.
This is actually quite significant with the trials that followed the end of the war. I am sure you have heard of these trials where people would often blame the higher ups and that they were just following orders. This excuse that they made of course is very well flawed, however that is just how it was quite often with these trials. So most of the blame was essentially shifted to Hitler, in addition to that the leader often becomes the one to take the blame or the fault when bad things occur. Hitler was just angry and bloody mad, so when the masses followed it just was crazy. Not many were very willing to do anything because they were scared of him.
Honestly though the people who took the heinous orders of killing and torturing for him are responsible with the blood on their hands. They may have gotten the order, but it was their choice to obey. This is not to exempt Hitler though, he was just a bloody mad nut that wanted people to be forced into pain.
@@numbernumber25 An interesting thing I learned a bit about in psychology is that human obedience is crazy. There were experiments (Stanley Milgrim) and they were instructed to shock the person on the other side if they didn't memorize a long sheet of paper (as it was being said). Most people went up to the max amount of volts possible. There was no real physical harm done, and they weren't forced in the way you'd expect. They were politely told to continue shocking, and basically all of them did. It proves that under the right circumstances, majority of humanity would cave. The reason I bring that up is because this test was based off these people saying they were following orders. No excuses on their part, and I don't condone it a bit, but it's scary to think about. They do indeed have blood on their hands, and it's not a good thing.
@@psychott6 Agreed, I believe I heard of the experiment. I think there was several settings on the gauge of electricity box they could adjust, of course no one was actually getting hurt it was just a prop hooked to a audio player that would play a different voice message depending on the voltage setting. One of the most brilliant things about the experiment was the use of electricity and audio recordings. Prior to the ability to record audio, I do not believe the researchers could have designed an obedience and order experiment as good.
But yeah you are correct that it does show that many would follow along to the situation and orders, however it still does not completely excuse them for their choices. It does though explain their choices which is very important, as it depicts that even if the person is not being threatened that they could still continue despite what they may consider to be concerning or bad. I believe that you make a good point though in terms of understanding what may have gone through the person's mindset with many of the soldiers.
I say this specifically because using imaginations and thinking through situations can only go far before it either misses the result or takes a different path, so using an experiment to simulate a similar situation would grant people more insight to what the people were willing to do.
But yeah it is just really unfortunate that we as humans are easy to bend to the will of someone else. In a position of a power dynamic things probably would push the person to be more obedient to commit acts which are just down right disgusting as being threatened will probably set in motion the person to focus on their life or the life of the person they are ordered to kill.
How easy it is to seduce "the masses" was shown only a very short period of time ago by the person in White House - before Biden...
Promise silly people what they want to hear and almost everybody will switch off the brain and shout "hooray".... no, mankind is not a very good thing. The evil is in us. In everyone of us. And it needs a lot of work not to give in to it.
@@Freiya2011 Well I would say that having a person rant in grand speeches is probably a higher idea of speaking than just regular speeches. But yeah you are correct, one issue in particular is that when people are not liked very much they will often target a group of people and shift any blame towards them. This also works for when they just need to make someone look bad so they could justify the use of government power to show that they are doing something. This way people would not question as much on whether the person is actually doing their job since everyone's attention is on the group that the person is basically throwing crud at. This is probably one of the worst things to happen because it happens pretty often in history and is still present today

Thanks to Stalin Hitler didn´t won the war.
Stalin was equally or even more worse than Hitler but it makes 0 sense to bring his name up in this conversation right now unless you’re trying to play H. actions down
You just missed the point of this video. In the case of Hitler, him killing Jews was more of an end rather than means to an end. In the case of Stalin, the gulags were the means to reach his end (building socialism in short time). This makes Hitler more evil because during the end of the war he allocated a significant portion of his resources in eliminating the Jews instead of focusing on the war effort.

Some women remember their parents being miserable and they don't want to be the same. Some forgo family for financial reasons. Or the women who feel like indentured slaves being housewives. Or that there are women out there who would rather use their time for other pursuits. Or the countless women who regret marrying their husbands. He doesn't address these issues either, he just reverts to the traditional female gender role as the way things should be while those who don't fit that definition are brushed off as a minority without evidence.

I have taught history in high school for 30 years. I enjoyed the video and the comments. I have always wondered how disabled Hitler was with shell shock from the first war. I also have Jewish roots and have taken crap from other co workers for not describing Hitler as a "monster." I absolutely refuse to do this because he was NOT a monster. He was a human being who committed "monstrous," acts. The more we refer to him as such the more we increase the chances of his ilk returning because we assume he was a fluke. He wasn't.
"Why are all of you celebrating? Hitler IS dead. But the bitch that bore him is still in heat." Bertolt Brecht 1946
The most terrifying thing about Hitler is that he was basically a "Joe 6-pack" character, and average boring loser who got rejected from art school, managed to make corporal in the army, and didn't have much else going for him. If someone had killed him in the cradle, there might still be another one like him that would've done the same thing surrounded by the same cast of characters.

This was an interesting perspective on Hitler's motivations - Hitler simply destroyed because his intention was to destroy rather than win a war and create some reich etc. But it assumes that Hitler was rational to some degree. It made me think of the current situation with Erdogan in Turkey, the man who thinks that reducing interest rates is the way to fight inflation. If he destroys the Turkish economy is that because his actual intention is to destroy it.
As someone who fled Turkey because of this becoming increasingly clear, I believe you are 100% correct. With Turkeys previous rulers leaving them in dire condition, all the citizens treated Erdogan and his party like Gods, pretty damn similar to Germany during this era. Even today with the increasingly horrible economy in Turkey people still worship the man and this video made me rethink if his intention really was to bring Turkey back to power, especially since him and his party are basically the only people benefitting from the mayhem...

And the people blindly following his ideas, almost even glorifying him as if he were a holy figure, are in the majority too. Kind of scary to think whether or not my home country will survive in his hands.
This assumes that one can desire one outcome while producing another out of ignorance or false ideals. It seems to me to be perfectly coherent that Hitler simply believed false things that he thought would produce the effects he desired but in fact produced the reverse. So as things got worse he simply pushed the accelerator to the floor on his ideals which he thought would fix the problem but in fact was only accelerating the outcomes that were the opposite of what he wanted. False ideals sincerely believed.
Exactly. Peterson seems unwilling to grasp the obvious, that it's common for people to make decisions that cause disastrous outcomes they never intended or wanted, at any level, not even "deep down." Especially crackpots with elaborate false beliefs, because those are wildly out of kilter with reality.
"Why would you attribute Hitler the highest possible motives".
He's not assuming anything.
I made a criticism of Peterson's delivery on this video. Your analysis provided a much more clear picture of his overall point. Thank you for the clarity and perhaps you may help Peterson speak to the masses in a more coherent way without such ambiguous delivery.
@D Sullivan well you would start a war to win, but when you're losing, your strategy should change as conditions change. Devoting resources to commit genocide during a war is wasteful and not conducive to winning. The fact that Hitler accelerated the rate at which they were killing Jews and POWs suggest that he didn't plan to do such after the war and that suggests that he had the knowledge that he already lost the war.
I would suggest you all take a look at the overall point here instead of trying to sound intelligent. His point is that some people don't have a "logical" reason for their actions. Mental illness like psychopathy or schizophrenia aren't brand new we are just more aware of them. His point is that it doesn't mean someone with one of those mental illnesses is less or more clever or successful, you're just judging by the wrong metrics. He's absolutely correct in that Hitler's approach to "the war" was not in any way predicated on winning. His actions don't make sense to you and me because they are only meant to make sense to him. Thusly he presents the psychological concept that if you can't glean a rational motivation from the person look at the outcome.
It's unfortunate that Jordan cant ask these same questions about Israel right now. Would it look like THIS if they were actually trying to "win a war"? The Daily Wire's Jordan Peterson isnt capable of asking these same questions anymore. It's been over a year now and he hasnt even begun to look at where the Israeli "trains" are going and why.
Talk about Israel when u fkin Americans plunder and use other 3rd world countries as lab rats and look down on them.. go fk urself and ur self motivated justice.. we don't want ur nose poking into our matters..

Yup. The desires outcome usually reveals the intent the person was aiming at. That aspect cannot be ignored or overstated enough to understand things in a much better perspective
I can understand this argument, but my problem is that it’s fine to do this analysis on a single person, or even a group of like mined people, but the Nazi war machine was a vast organisation involving many different people from many different backgrounds and this includes the entire structure behind the concentration camps. How can we assume everyone involved was just doing it to create mayhem through an evil in the psyche? There was definitely more behind it than just that, the argument he puts forward is just as much an underestimation as the argument that it’s over natural resources. Hitler himself didn’t pass any specific instructions of what to do, it’s well known that it was those trying to impress him to further their own careers that interpreted his mumbo jumbo into an evil killing machine, and they weren’t all the same. Himmler, Heidrich, Mengele etc were evil individuals without a doubt, but they all had different motives.
your argument is valid, however we need to see that this is a 4ish minute snippet of what was most defiantly a much larger discussion/lesson. we dont see the very beginning of what he was talking about that lead to this.
It was pretty clear the analysis was on Hitler and not "everyone involved". Your point seems correct, I just don't think it applies here.
Jordan is talking about looking at someone's actions and you'll find out his/her motivations. The nazi example is a little bit harsh but it conveys the mesage that actions follos thoughts
I think it is important that he’s referring to Hitler specifically and not all of Nazis. Because he’s talking about his motivation. The Nazis themselves are a mixed bag of motivations. Some of which is to serve their inspiring idol seen in Hitler. Meaning that for them they may have actually believed what they were doing was for some sort of cause. Others opened their eyes and regret what they did. Some were just as evil as him.
@@CryptolockerMD spot on
Maybe Hitler was really pissed off after they kicked him out of art school. I've heard something to the tune of, "If the village is cold to the child, the child will burn the village to the ground to feel the warmth."
That argument holds no water in my case. It made me want to make sure I never did the same to anyone else. My success is in spite of a number of things.
Some of em just waiting for an excuse to let go on the world, even though that won’t even fill the hole in his soul, or if he has no soul or was metaphorically a man that looks at his self as a saint for the Germans on earth... to young and overzealous men ready to prove themselves, that’s tempting.. but he musta been a helluva talker cuz it would take some just over the top rants and just got down on it .. it was something I have studied in depth.... but the mans still satan because he couldn’t fill the hole
I wouldn't see why he would target only a few specific groups though. Unless his art teacher was Jewish? Idk.
@leonard mathes Exaclty. Plus Peterson is wrong here - the Nazis absolutely used the Jews as slave labor. Most of them died of starvation brought on by allied bombing of supply chains, or typhus.
Maybe you have no idea what you are talking about.
Honestly, if teachers would have been like him, I think us students would have no problem making studying one of our hobbies, rather than fearing the subject and just mugging them up to get marks
Progressive Leftists (and yes, the supposed politicians in their supposed opposition) don't want an educated, free-thinking populace; they want mindless drones which are easily whipped up into mob frenzy.

for real! I never did good in school and always had trouble focusing while in class but at home I'd be nose deep in books about the subject if it was interesting to me. Teachers need have knowlegde on the subject but also and maybe even more importantly about the art of teaching itself and present the subject in an interesting way

@@hatakez3874This 271k figure comes from a supposed Red Cross document stating the total of all Jewish deaths. That is wrong, they never reported that, it’s a forgery. You see a lion stamp with ‘Sonderstandesamt’ on that document, that was a German agency recording German POW deaths in camps, it also says in German it doesn’t even account for all deaths as a whole.
