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.

@@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."

[@stasisasmr7724]

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]

@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 KZbin for that!

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.

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.

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.

[@patrickdoyle9369]

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.

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.

[@numbernumber25]

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.

[@psychott6]

@@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.

[@numbernumber25]

@@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.

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.
