Conservatives and Hitler | Jordan B Peterson

People who are right leaning/conservative are more disgust sensitive. When that tilts a little too far, people like Hitler can emerge. From the Joe Rogan Experience #1006:

Jordan Peterson gave me a psychological b#@*! slap and i am grateful. Ive learnded more about myself in the last year than i have in all my 35 years on this earth.

For me as well - I am highly creative and open, but also high in neuroticism and low in orderliness - maybe because of that combination I have not found the discipline to cultivate my interests to their full extent. I am currently working 12 hour shifts at a plywood factory, and listening to Peterson all the time - and some other lectures as well, 38 hours per week, minimum. I've chosen to immerse myself deeply on these issues, to teach myself discipline - and I know I need to learn that lesson fast, and learn it well. I am not a total noob on these topics - the question of dialogue across ideological borders is _very_ interesting to me, has been ever since my B.A. thesis. And that is so much needed right now - along with free speech, it is definitely one of the most important issues we need to solve. If I can be a small part in building that, that's good enough for me - and that goal will certainly not vanish anywhere as long as I live.

This is one of the things that have me distrusting Jordan sometimes; cherry picking... And not always letting the listener know when a fact is solid or unstable (although he does so often). Mixing the two makes the message murky, to me. I Guess none's perfect. In this case he might even expect us to understand that a table talk of a dictator is not trustworthy source, due to the nature of dictators.

Here's a story about disgust: WW2, German soldiers in Lithuania, in my home town. Two officers walk into my grandparents house (intentions unclear, probably to get some food etc.) Disagreement ensues and one of the officers points his rifle at my heavily pregnant grandma. At that moment her waters break. Officers make a strongly disgusted faces and storm out of the house, never to come back. This way my grandparents are saved by lucky timing and tendency of German officers to be high in conscientiousness (and so in disgust sensitivity). ps.: Russians (and Slavs in general) are high in Openness, so here's a recipe for conflict right there.

"Pathogen" is a metaphor.

[@ryack6355]

The link Peterson makes between one trait and a political belief seems a little outlandish. I'm on the authoritarian centre. And I'm about normal when it comes to orderliness. You can't link one trait to another and tell people this is why they believe what they do. It's completely outlandish. There are a multitude of factors. Not just one!

[@robertmiller6444]

An important element to this is the understanding the almost the entirety of human evolution occurred in the context of small groups. So a lot of those behaviors are contextualized to the survival of the group in the face of other groups that may present threats, pathogens being but one, actually. (There are also threats of attack and plunder that are equally as disastrous - you don't know if the other is there to trade or to plunder, so the "safe bet" is to assume plunder then that precludes that possible death of the group as a result). The point being here is that while useful to survival in those contexts, in the wider scope of societies in which we now inhabit which can encompass a diversity of individuals and groups, those behaviors are now somewhat anachronistic (and potentially counter productive) in that context. The further point being that these behaviors evolved over millennia so they aren't going to change overnight in that the current shape of societies has existed for not even a blink of the eye in the scope of human evolutionary time scales. So we can't just pretend they are just "social constructs" that can just be wished away by imposing some alternate "social construct". If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

I think the thing about Communism and Fascism is that the far right/left wingers to fancy themselves to those ideologies are really interested in the doctrines of the ideology necessarily, but rather that those ideologies are just a left/right flavor of an attempt at total control and a product of intense neuroticism.

[@keymaker2112]

Both sides are beginning to realize that the government is just a loaded gun in the hands of a very weak and cowardly man called "liberalism", and they better get there, take the gun and shoot the other guy, before he does the same to them. It's insane, but there's a sort of "falling to gravity" natural ease about it; that being the frightening part.

Hitler was not a conservative. Not by any stretch of the definition. He was a socialist revolutionary. He wanted to overthrow the Weimar Republic. He joined and rose through the ranks of a socialist political party (Nazi is a German Acronym for "National *SOCIALIST* German Worker's Party) People keep saying: He was conservative because he was a nationalist! This is a false dichotomy. Ghandi was an Indian Nationalist. Mandela was a South African nationalist. All of the revolutionary anti-colonialists of Africa were nationalists. Winston Churchill was a nationalist. Even Joseph Stalin (Russian), Fidel Castro (Cuban), and Mao Ze Dong (Chinese) were all nationalists. Being a nationalist doesn't make you conservative. Conservatism is defined by Classic Liberal philosophy as a political philosophy that calls for the minimization of the centralized state, the imposition of restrictions on what the central government can do, based on the philosophical principle that minimized government is necessary to maximize individual liberty. Hitler didn't care for liberty. He implemented socialized command and control economics in his country. He had a central office of economic planning and development, with the force of law to compel industries to manufacture according to government quotas. He may have left businesses in private hands, but this was de facto government ownership, since the state under his command could seize any private property and redistribute it to anyone who was more loyal to him than the original owners.

[@hans-joachimbierwirth4727]

Hitler was no nationalist. His goal was an empire like the austrian or the ottoman empire was. Conservativism has never been linked to minimized government but to class privileges. None of the imperialists you named was a nationalist. Classic Liberals were nationalists for good reasons. That is left wing, not right wing. You don't know what you are talking about.

[@BowofRama10]

[@Raydensheraj]

How you revisionist far right apologists lie and try to make crap up is pathetic. Antisemitism is a conservative CHRISTIAN hate...and what is more conservative than "making Germany great again." And this idiotic mumbo jumbo declaring national socialism as a "socialist" ideology has been debunked and per facts debunked over and over and over again...by historians like Evans or Winkler. Conservatives in Germany were the "monarchy apologists" that wanted to keep the ideology of absolutism. A Kaiser, with strong Christian authoritarianism and a great military. The conservatives had almost the same ideology as the Nazis. Without the conservatives, Hitler would have never gotten to power thru the democratic system the conservatives undermined from the very beginning. The conservatives were the first ones to spread the lie that it was the "social Democrats" and "Liberals" that sold Germany out to the Western powers. The conservatives were so afraid of communism...hated liberal democratic values and Jews so much...that they literally sounded exactly like the Nazis. The only difference was the conservatives arrogance....for them Adolf wasn't a monarch or a full blooded German. Sick and tired of these lies you guys spread. The "socialism" in the national socialism cannot be compared in any way. First of all, the socialists and social Democrats (besides the communist) were the first to be hunted down by the Nazis. Second, socialist was (in the Nazi sense) meant as 'putting the German society first.' What is more conservative than putting your own people first? Hatred of immigrants and everything different than yourself? These are typical conservative ideas.... Conservatives ALWAYS complain about "in the past everything was so much better, we need to go back to...that better past " Germany was changed by adopting a flawed but liberal democratic constitution. The conservatives wanted to go back to their sociopath brand of "survival of the most powerful" monarchy.... The Nazi ideology is literally a authoritarian conservative system that used the German Society as useful idiots (or workers) for those "authoritarian" Leaders. Conservative Americans....let's see. You have the Confederates that didn't want to adopt the new laws making slavery illegal. Then you had father Coughlin and the Christian Front. Mccartyism....Bush and his Christian nationalist government. And today you have Führer Trump and his useful stooges that want to beam America back into the stone age. Conservatives are always the first ones to agree and often blatantly use the same arguments of Nazis these days. So please, stop trying to lie about the fact that the far right national socialist fascists aren't just a extreme right wing ultranationalist conservative ideology. You sentence claiming Hitler wanted to overthrow the Weimar Republic is ridiculous....he wanted to destroy the social Democrats and the liberal democratic constitution. So sick and tired of these fascist apologetics claiming Nazis were socialists. Hitler himself kept the Socialist in the NSDAP because it was a pro workers term thrown around at the time. National= Ultranationalist Sozialist= The German society Arbeiter= The German Workers Partei= Party

The pathogen argument in general is a strange one to me. We only have a relatively recent understanding of what a pathogen is or how it works. Saying that pathogens are somehow biologically driving people towards order because of some genetic history seems a bit of a stretch, or even insincere. What would be the basis for this kind of genetic realization? In other words, how frequently would mixing of ecosystems in this way happen in a person's lifetime before 1000 years ago? And out of those times, how many resulted in some kind of plague?

Rangers Lead The Way German conservatism before and after the Great War had nothing to do with the American Right, just as the first generation of "right-wingers" in the French Assembly had almost nothing in common with American politics in general. The Left/Right paradigm has changed radically in the last century, and varies from nation to nation. German conservatives in that time were imperialists and monarchists who viewed capitalism with suspicion.

[@shrinkshooter]

Hold up, your sources for your claim about fascism are a nonwhite non fascist and a literal jew? Yes, surely they explain very thoroughly what fascism actually is without any bias whatsoever. I'd rather settle for Hitler's explanation, you know, the one who actually implemented it, who himself called it "third position" for a reason. Also, "left" and "right" is a false dichotomy, for one thing, and for another neither of those terms mean today what they did several decades ago.

[@qncsc]

everyone gets this wrong ... the further right, the MORE liberalism (hence, less government) is desired. the neo-conservatives with the help of the media have misconstrued this for everyone. neo-conservatives are not conservatives and the media is 90% non-conservative. so there is NO voice for conservatives as centralized systems dominate the landscape ... and all centralized systems favor their group bias (usually elitism), hence centralized systems are more prone to fascism, authoritarianism or "big, bigger government" and being centralized they have a greater megaphone to voice who is what, even as it is wrong. most people in the middle or center are conservatives because they want to be left alone. that has been the American way. unfortunately, bigeducation, bigmedia, bighollywood, big ... have propagandized stupid narratives that "conservatives" are people that are hate-, race-, bigot-, white-, prison-, rich-, ... when MOST people want to be left alone. in this clip, Peterson is wrong. in this he is too inculcated in his academics that he is trying to build a fancy, sophisticated model. in doing so, he just misses the obvious. the obvious is that most people want to be left alone. only elites want power-infused into the environment (hence, increased-authoritarianism) to control people. elites are monolithic ... identity politics types, welfare advocates, warfare advocates, DC, siliconvalley, NYC, wallstreet, billionaires, banks, media, pharma, hollywood, wealthy-enclaves, CA, beverlyhills, ... these all vote 70-, 80, 90% democrat ... or FASCIST. *Hitler would have been the biggest Democrat on the planet* ... if he were born American and alive today and eligible for office, with the same sensibilities.

The only problem I have about Jordan Peterson is that his view about right wing is using European metrics. The reason is very obvious, he comes from Canada which is culturally and politically more like European than US. If you look at American right wing, they are complete different. For example, Ben Shapiro who is considered as far right doesn't hold any view Jordan Peterson said as right wing. To be clarify, difference between European left and right are stay on surface, both side want big goverment like welfare and national health care; just the left want open broader and globalization, right is blood and soil nationalist. The American left vs right are on the fundamental level, left is the same as left in other place, but right is individualist who believes individual liberty, limited goverment and free market. The European right wing in US is so called "Alt-Right" which is very small minority. This misconception is deliberately formed by the left so they can paint everyone who against them with same brush and call them Nazis.

While it's true that isolated populations protect themselves from the bio-pathogens of other groups, there is also the flip side of the coin to consider. A group that is too isolated or exclusive will be more subject to genetic pathologies that a more diverse pool wouldn't have. Jews, for example, are a case study in inherited susceptibility to certain diseases because of their historical exclusivity.

Interesting.. I would suggest that we need to consider that we are traveling on an ever changing continuum... Yes...societies collided...and this created both opportunities and threats.. However, todays social reality looks much different in that as much as some societies continue as a largely homogenous mass, most have now had intensive assimilation and mixing. The melting pot bleeds into the cultural mosaic and vice versa.. Most countries in europe as well as the americas have now lived this reality for 60 - 70 years.... I have a hard time accepting that pure disgust continues to drive behaviour today as a true organic behavioural manifestation. I believe that underneath the surface, the hate is finding a new driver.....and I believe that this driver is generated by fear of losing access to resources. With 10 billion inhabitants being crammed into a tighter fitting cage in the next 30 years.....aggression becomes inevitable... The desire for order is now only an illusion as we know that the kind of order that gives us the ability to adhere to our ethic individuality carved out geographically...can no longer be realistically attained... It seems that we are perhaps in a process of climbing back down Maslow’s scale...more focused again...on shelter, food and security... Self actualization has effectively slipped our grasp and along with it...even some cultural ideals...that used to drive our unique ethnic / collective behaviour.... Today...it is...more than ever..about....land...air...water..and food.... We in the west may not be there yet...but our collective unconscious is being filled with real examples of how bad things can get....and probably will.... We hate today because all of us are fighting for what little control we still have...knowing that even this may soon be a thinner gruel....

I would disagree with Peterson on the whole "liberals are more open" thing. I would say that that personality trait needs to have two subcategories: Ideologically and abstractly open. Liberals are Generally in my experience not open to new ideas hence the whole Damore/Google fiasco. Conversely I would say Liberals are in fact creatively (or abstractly) open. Conservatives are more Ideologically open, their concerns are with the more concrete and measurable problems.

[@FriendlyFirebasin]

Why does he look like he has braces in? Peterson looks so cute hahahaha

[@BlindEyeJones]

Yeah, but Hitler was a leftist who was a vegetarian, a failed artist, indulged in ecology and the occult. If you really want to understand how liberal/leftist German and Italian fascism was, read "Liberal Fascism" by Jonah Goldberg. The only reason German fascism became known as coming from the right is that Stalin labeled it as such when Hitler attacked him. The label stuck because there were a lot of communists in the States that bought into Stalin's understanding and definition of fascism. Fascism for the most part was socialist (hence the name NAZI means National Socialist) but it was not international socialism of the Russia variety, but national socialism.

[@DinoDaley-xp2eo]

[@jackobrien3574]

Your base argument makes sense, conservatives, i.e. Republicans, most Libertarians, some independents etc. have a tendency to be more organized, and fact based in thinking. While on the left end of the spectrum people tend to be more creative. However, that doesn't make the people falling to right of the spectrum all terrible people, and calling most right wingers basically Nazis is an untrue generalization to say the least. Hitler is not easily placed politically, Nazism is the worst of Nationalism as a severe extent of patriotism, but he also was an animal rights activist, and his "National Socialist Party" gave handouts to aryan poor. Very few people on the right are racist, your argument about human nature, and our "disgust" reaction to the other falls on all levels of the political spectrum, left, right, or center. But the right's establishment, Fox News and the Republican Party condemns Nazism outright, not only due to the religious and ethical over-the-lens-steppings, but also the big government threat. No authoritarian government has been fully to the right, because the right values small government and personal freedom, and those don't lend themselves well with authoritarianism.

to say that Hitler represents a conservative ideology is totally false

[@VoLCoMzYaDiGG]

If you think Hitler was a socialist you're out of your mind. He enacted a multitude of right winged policies, for example made abortion punishable by death for German women to promote the bloodline. Abortion and sterilization of "lesser" elements in the state (Jews, gypsies/roma, etc) does not count as "abortion" Thats genocide. If you want to talk about his economic policies, he buddied up business owners, not to promote capitalism, not to promote better relations between the state and business, in order to utilize it to it's fullest extent with regards to war production. The reason Germany did well economically post depression was exactly because they went to war. Conquering and amassing large armies of men to work in factories to build armaments helps a lot. Just look at the US economy during the war. Linking together the state a business was good for the Nazi's and especially Hitler's plans. Also, a lot of the policies that helped Nazi Germany just ended up carrying over from the Weimar Republic. In fact Strasser distanced himself and I believe left the party solely because he thought Hitler had gotten too close with businesses, Strasser was an actual socialist. He wanted to eliminate Jews through means of expulsion from German economics. Hitler went with genocide. This ultimately ended up getting Strasser killed during the Night of the Long Knives. Hitler was no more a conservative than he was a socialist. Hitler said this in the book "Hitler speaks" by Hermann Raushning (a german conservative btw) "The party is all-embracing. It rules our lives in all their breadth and depth… There will be no license, no free space, in which the individual belongs to himself. This is Socialism… Let them then own land or factories as much as they please. The decisive factor is that the State, through the party, is supreme over them, regardless whether they are owners or workers." Thats not socialism, thats not conservatism, thats totalitarianism. Something completely altered and total over the individual. Individuality is a major tenet of socialism and conservatism (which I think is foolish, just look up determinism) "They gaze fascinated at one or two familiar superficialities, such as possessions and income and rank and other outworn conceptions. As long as these are kept intact, they are quite satisfied. But in the meantime they have entered a new relation; a powerful social force has caught them up. They themselves are changed. What are ownership and income to that? Why need we trouble to socialize banks and factories? We socialize human beings.” If you think conservatism or socialism represents that, you're a fool. It's like saying Stalinism was true communism. One was a system of government by secret police, terror and mass death due to starvation and political oppression. The other is an idealistic hope for a certain type of society and economy, that wishes to return the means of production back to the workers so that their work is far more enjoyable, far more important to the worker and thus making people more than just machines to work the factories for wages. Which, btw, communism took root in the wrong nation. It was ultimately supposed to happen in the United States or the UK due to communism's heavy reliance of industrialization. Which, idk if any knows the history of Russia or China, wasn't exactly the case in those two specific nations. While the US and UK were coming up with mass production of products Russia and China were still heavily agrarian. Thats a small summation of it. Hitlerism and Stalinism are not even on the spectrum compared to how we imagine the political structure. Centrists, which now is seemingly more like moderate political followers, have been hijacked by extremists. Trumpians and Sanderians (populists/potential nationalists vs anarchists/"bolsheviks") are putting out ideas that one may consider dangerous to society. Akin to totalitarianism. This PC culture, tribalism, words you can and can't say, calling everything that disagrees with your political views fake news, conspiracies coming from both sides (keep in mind, Hitlerism and Stalinism both had conspiratorial thoughts in the shape of jews and capitalists), the extremists from both sides are the ones we need to watch out for.

National socialist came from Yellow Socialism which was a branch of Marxism(rejected branch.) Which came the term, "are you yellow?" The Claim that National Socialism is right wing came from the factual statement that they're slightly right of Marxism.

[@caesarismisorder8295]

Ox AO This is both true and a simplification at the same time

[@Zensor0815]

It came from the froced ethno-state, the idea of genetic purity and the militaristic approach of advancing territory for the own people. Saying National socialism was left wing is so immensly missleading. You can check that by yourself: Are the alt right, white supremecists and neo-nazis left or right? The socialist part is simply, that the state cares for its own people, but just its own... no blacks, no jews, no polish...

[@caesarismisorder8295]

Happy Nihilist It's true but not the whole picture

[@OxAO]

Through The Smoke: I have written in great detail on it before. It's mostly ignored. Yellow socialism was the origin of democratic socialism. The two that is accepted by academia whom claim to be the originators where the German Social Democratic Party where Marxist up until the 1950's. Fabian socialism was a means to Marxism. The claim that Yellow Socialism is "different" (debatable) is that they're not based on the "Jewish Question" any longer. Which the Jewish Question really is a question about allowing any religion into their Utopian society. Some of the details I talked about before such as Bruno Bauer who worked as an employee of Marx and Engels. Many of his ideas went into Yellow Socialism. Another sad part is a lot of the papers such as the writer of the "Jewish Question" where "lost" by academia. I believe it's a deliberate cover up. With somethings they can't cover up.

[@OxAO]

Zen: said, "advancing territory" isn't inherently right or left wing. Neither is Nationalism or globalism. Maybe you need to explain what you mean? One thing that is inherently right wing vs left wing. That is individualism vs collectivism. The only system that is based on Individualism is capitalism (right wing.) National socialist where clearly collectivist (left wing)

Jordan mixes conservative and right wing in error. Hitler may have had a conservative temperament for order but that is centrist at best.

They used classified technology for its development. They are contractors for the government. They did a good job. But the government and the pharmaceutical companies are the middle man with production of said vaccine. There are extra things added, that did not come from the vaccine development. Neither political party trusts the government. The technology will not be declassified, and this has made people paranoid.
