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.

@@nemanjacabarkapalordozunu So are you.
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
reminds me of my dad who is also a professor. He never even had to prepare a lecture, just walked up and GO. Drove my mom crazy in college, she had to study her butt off and he just walked in and aced all the classes.
Except in this clip he literally DID pause to come up with the right word to fill in the sentence.. 🤦🏻♂️
@@Sheriff_K He speaks pretty consistently *for the most part.* He’s still human, no need to take OP’s comment so literally.

Aside from the fact that his assumption of "substantial resources" is completely wrong, absurd and has no basis in facts or reality. Other than that, he's a good, compelling speaker.
@@andrewpereira9271 I highly disagree. Logic and reality is the common language of JP. He´s rarely wrong about something or someone in the world.
His detailed conclusions are rock solid!
@@user-re4ub1hq3g I posted a more detailed rebuttal to his assumption. I'll paste it below.
I think it's fine he has a theory about Hitler's motivations (I don't know whether I agree with him, but that's not my point). My objections were what he presented as some sort of obvious rationale for his conclusions. His opinion of Hitler could be correct, I don't know . . . the reasons given, a maniacal squandering of Germany's resources to eliminate Jews is patiently wrong. Germany squandered its resources on an unwinnable war. A very tiny fraction was devoted, to the Holocaust . . . they didn't need hardly any resources to kill Jews and Gypsies and homosexuals, et. al. . .. if they did, they probably would have killed a lot less.
Here's the previous post . . . sorry for the length:
"What an absurdly fabricated assumption. Substantial resources? They made it very cheap and efficient to kill Jews . . . a task requiring very little manpower, some train rides to camps already built, some zyklon gas, and as the war went on, very quick mass killing so they didn't have to feed them. They DID enslave countless Jews and Gypsies who they felt could be productive and who they put to work . . . those people made up the bulk of those who survived the holocaust . . . 'cause they had to feed their Jewish slaves, for them to keep working.
Compare that to the cost of the war machine . . . millions of soldiers to recruit, train, equip, feed, etc., development of superweapons, V-1,2,3, rockets, jet propulsion, tanks, planes, trucks, shells, cannons, a thousand miles of defensive infrastructure from Norway to Normandy to thwart an allied western invasion, not to mention the tremendous costs to fight against the Russians, defend Italy, occupy France and other territory, etc.
This is a theory in search of a fact. When did Jordan Peterson decide he was an expert on everything? I've had neighbors like that . . . they're intolerable. This clip seems to be from quite some time ago, so I hope he's recanted since then . . . it's good for someone to see and admit to being wrong sometimes, even Mr. Peterson."
"If you can't figure out what someone is doing or why, look at the outcome and infer the motivation. If it produces mayhem perhaps it was aiming at mayhem." ~Jordan Peterson
He was paraphrasing Carl Jung
So what is Joe Biden aiming for ?
Nah I'm pretty sure Hitler was aiming to win. Really don't understand how anyone could look at Hitler cowering in a bunker and putting a gun to his head as the Red Army closes in and think "this is exactly what he was aiming for".

POV: You were recommended this 4 year old video and are looking through the pointless political fights in the comments realizing they're only a couple days old
Sometimes I feel like the world is just chocked full of delusional people of one constructed in-group screaming at delusional people from another constructed in-group and that the entire point of life is to find out who’s marginally less delusional. To me it’s kind of ridiculous that people are taking Peterson as a brilliant, unbiased thinker especially when he can’t even follow his own stock advice of “clean your room” and “don’t do drugs “ - things that he unequivocally states should disqualify you from discourse if you can’t do them - but it’s really no different from how you see people fawn over popular cultural figureheads despite some of them being devoid of talent and/or actively harmful.

Just this morning I've been thinking about how battles have shifted from the battlefield to social media throughout history and it made me realize that even during "peace time" people just seem to look for something to fight about. Peterson has just eloquently stated that and even made Hitler the prime example.
“If you can’t figure out the motive, look at the outcome and infer” I challenge everyone to filter American politics through this lens and see what you find
Good old days when this used to be common sense
It shouldn't be used exclusively. As he said, it's just a tool in your analytical arsenal. You CAN infer, but that doesn't actually prove anything, especially in the presence of substantial auxiliary information.
I'm going to say decision for the sake of petty power grabs. It's not really organized enough to really be otherwise

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.

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.
Or you are just one of those people that make too much excuses
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 :(
Iv read and studied Hitler j p is way of the mark about him keep believing his rubbish with no proof
@@ausername1972 Well I said it as a general statement. I didn’t go to an English speaking Secondary School so I wouldn’t know 🤷♂️
I'm surprised no one has clipped this out of context.
the closest thing i had to this kind of teacher was my sophomore world history teacher, he was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the topic and I learned more that year than any other history class
Psychology adds a great element to the study of Historical Thinking.
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 CZcams 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.
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

Wow found this little snippet a real gem of insight! Never thought about Hitler and his probable deeper motive, like this before! I have actually witnessed this in person, when I saw the way thugs were using a a higher (legitimate) motive to satisfy their own personal vendettas and hatred!

Yes. We heard him say it
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.

If Peterson had studied history, rather than psychology, he'd know history is replete with leaders far worse than Hitler.
What? He straight-up has. Do you think that simply because he's only talking about Hitler in this specific lecture, it somehow means he has no awareness of other violent totalitarian leaders?
He's discussed many more, such as Pol Pot, Stalin, Mao, etc. Many of his lectures cover the history of authoritarianism in great detail.
Journalism brain.
@@InternetUsername He talks mostly about Hitler. Everyone knows Mao and Pol Pot, and Stalin. He's best when he sticks to psychology but personally I think he's too wedded to Jung because Petersen is a believer.
I took one of his classes in undergrad, as a breadth requirement. He's changed a lot since then. The drug addiction and fame changed him. Personally. I think he has a deep dark secret about his childhood.
I dont think he ever stated otherwise?
Hitler is just an interesting case because he is (in the western world) quite famous and viewed as the epitome of evil.
WE also know far more about HItlers life with clear details and confirmed info then most others due to well documented childhood, how he took power and thousands of documents about his plans. conversations with subordinates and mindset
Meanwhile leaders in the past are farther away or we have others like Pol Pot, Mao or Stalin whom we know less about due to less info being available and far less classified documents
@@InternetUsernameI think he's extremely wrong about what he's saying here. There's a video in the same lecture where he claims hitler was elected and had a majority vote, something so bizarre that anyone who has studied the nazis would know is factually untrue. I actually don't think he has studied much history.
@@fender3873 What? A _very_ substantial factor in his rise to power was him being elected with a majority vote. The 1933 federal election saw the NSDAP win 40% of the vote for seats within the Reichstag, competing with five other parties. The NSDAP was the largest party because of this, accounting for 288 of 648 total seats.
What a pleasure must be to be one of his students.
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.
Arkeeny that is why he is distrusted by the elites ,he's speaks the truth
EXACTLY!!!! Well said!!!
The reason is that his brilliance shows all the more clearly the idiocy of the haters. Envy can cause hate.
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.

How is that ridiculous quote in any way applicable to this video? Nobody thinks Hitler was a conqueror.
@@darkspeed62 Hey Freddie if you think that quote is ridiculous, this thread is way above your IQ, better to go back to the kids channels. 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...

Listening to this (again) after tonight was not very heartening.
I tried to unhitch a bathing suit that my daughter had hung on a curtain rod.
She said she would take it to town (from our hut) and wash it, but she forgot,
so I thought I'd wash it by hand for her. The rod fell down and its (wooden) holder split in two.
After that, I measured windows (in the other end of the hut)
and held up an offwhite blind that I had thrifted earlier today
to see how much it would block out the sun (sometimes needed there).
Then that rod fell down, and with it its holder and with that its attachment.

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.

"Destructive people think that Cain is their savior," Jordan Peterson. Fascinating.
100%
@Jon Iwanyszyn It can be extrapolated out to fit many archetypes, which just shows how brilliant it is!
@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.

Hey there! As genealogy enthusiasts, we've uncovered some pretty interesting stories over the years. One such story involves the British trying to cover up and take Jesse Ray Sturgeon's reign, almost getting away with it. They then denied Mary Ball Sturgeon as family.
It's a fascinating story that highlights the importance of researching and preserving family history. It's also a great reminder of how history can sometimes be manipulated or buried.
We believe that everyone should take the time to learn about their family's history and try to preserve it as best they can. You never know what interesting stories or connections you might uncover!

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.
How does an institution as old as the university, not churn out this high caliber of a professor as the norm?

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.

"There's a bit of Hitler in everyone"
-Jordan Peterson.
considering how good his lectures are i can only imagine how difficult his exams are 🤯
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 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 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 had an awesome teacher aswell in Sweden during 16-18. Was it the same maybe? Did you attend Soltorg perhaps? :D
@@vanivari359 It’s a good point though I do wonder if it wouldn’t be strictly more rational to feed their working slaves just enough for them to continue working? Just expand into more camps and factories as you round more and more up. It’s incredibly cheap labor after all.

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.
The same can be said about Trump lol
@@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. You can see that in examples of Isis and other terrorist org, Charles Manson and many other cults, Jim Jones and successfull Mass Suicides and so on. 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.

There was a movie made based on a single transcript of tue meeting on the final solution. Aside from being chilling, the generals did say that wartime resources should not be diverted for that reason.
“If you cannot understand why someone did something, look at the consequences-and infer the motivation.”

Brilliant. Assuming, that is, that the consequences of an action are what the person intended them to be.
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.

We were the bad people. The U.K. literally declared war on Germany yet Hitler was seeking peace with Britain. He had no intention of taking over Poland. He attacked because innocent German civilians were being murdered daily. He initially invaded, the once german land where Germans were being murdered and mistreated. Churchill wanted war with Germany. A lot of the blitz causalities were literally friendly fire called on by Churchill. He wanted a reason to justify declaring war. So he blew up his own people.
Yes hitler did many bad things but a lot of it could’ve been avoided, Churchill wanted war not hitler. Hitler wanted what was best for his people. Not what was best for his own and few other rich and powerful people’s interests (Churchill)

Just that phrase though, use them to work for the benefit, then liquidate them afterward if you wanted. Anyway if all classes were this engaging then perhaps school scores and pass rates etc etc would not be so low and bad. I mean take my time at school, no classes were ever this engaging let alone a history lesson and most were we would all go in and sit down, mess about for 30 minutes or an hour and sometimes the teacher moans and shows us books to read. This was my entire history classes throughout my school time but not just history, many other lessons also and you could say well it is because I messed about and other stuff but even if you listened did not mess about and did everything right, the teaching just was not there, the fact we messed about was because this type of engagement and care toward teaching was not there for us to ever have seen. I mean I think my history teacher was also my sports teacher and often an art teacher when the art teacher was on holiday or something lol. My math teacher was also my geography teacher and music sometimes as well. There was nothing to engage and grip on to at school for me and it was only later when I managed to get myself in to a college that I began to see any passion in teaching and was shown perhaps ways and little bits of the certain paths that I wanted or would like to take as far as enjoying a subject and for working later on. However even then my school days held me back because more often or not you would need a school pass paper or papers to get in to certain college classes once school was over with in life.

Search him up.. He's a famous intellectual
@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.
God help us.
so just a monologue?

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
One added clarification - if you had Typhus; you were dead anyway. In the conditions of the camps and the Nazi's having no antibiotics; Typhus would mean you had a death sentence and dying of it would be a miserable end. Gassing might be considered human in that situation, it certainly meant the diease would not be spread in the camp and kill others; so at minimum a better choice than letting everyone get killed. Had the Nazi's wanted to kill prisoners they would have killed them where they found them; not use precious rail resources to transport them to a camp.
Hitler would not have been possible without that treaty ending WW1, so we can basically blame WW2 on Wilson 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!
Unfortunately stupid people will screw it up. If the outcome is I cut myself shaving, an intelligent person would infer that my motivation was to be clean shaven, but idiots will conclude my motivation was to cut myself.
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.

Listening to Doctor Peterson is like hearing the truth laid out in a way that you have to say, "Yeah, that makes sense..."
Doctor Peterson was wrong on the very first claim he makes in this video. Dude either did not read history, or pretends he didn't to suit his own narrative. Yeah, if you want the truth laid out, idk, maybe start somewhere other than someone who isn't even aware that the people in the concentration camps DID get enslaved and put to work, literally to death.
