Sure, they had 22.000 tanks in 41 they also lost 20.000 tanks, Germany had 5.000 tanks and lost 2.700. So by the end of 41, Germany had more Tanks than Russia.

Could you probably dig some nuggets of good advice out of the pit of Nazi bullshit he swims around in? Sure.
Same was true of Hitler himself, almost certainly.
The thing is, I have absolutely no desire to exert effort to sift through that pit of bullshit in the hopes that I can pull out something useful or true. In either case. Not when there are myriad other sources not steeped in Nazi bullshit. That there's any Nazi bullshit in there at all is enough reason to reject him as a valid source of "wisdom". He has nothing unique to say that cannot be gotten anywhere else, in the first place.
You really need to stop. You keep saying you aren't this person that we all know you are bu then you defend a nazi sympathizing misogynist, bad faith idiot. Really the only people that would defend this pile of human excriment named Jordan Peterson, are people like him. And let's see, you definatly have spouses pro nazi arguments and constantly post in bad faith. I haven't paid attention if you had any misogynistic post, but I'm sure you fall along the lines of the "barefoot and pregnant" types too.

Not quite. Nazi Germany would have ran out of resources fighting the Russians and the Russians would have taken over.
You act like he has some unique take on things.
He doesn't. He's like every other pseudo intelligent racist.....he only appears smart to people like you. You guys mistake being proficient at public speaking with intelligence all because he says things that appeal to your own insecurities and gives you scapegoats in other races.
Also a broken clock is right twice a day, doesn't mean I should use it.

To expand on your point:
Interested in psychology? Read Carl Jung.
Interested in story telling and mythology? Read Joseph Campbell.
In a bad spot in life, feel lost, and in need of help? See a therapist/psychiatrist.
Peterson does have some useful things to say about all of the above but it's nothing you couldn't get by just going to the source (while not being distorted to boot). The problem with Peterson is that you're exposed to all of the mildly and no so mildly fascist shit he has to say about feminism, liberalism, and Marxism while you're listening to his other stuff.
You don't have to be openly fascist to contribute to it's rise. His entire shtick of propping up an imaginary enemy that rules from the Ivory tower and is trying to destroy the culture from within is fascism 101.
- Christopher HitchensPopulists (and "national socialists") look at the supposedly secret deals that run the world "behind the scenes". Child's play. Except that childishness is sinister in adults.
Peterson, Carlson, Shapiro, et all.....are just pretend big brain talk mixed with pretend big dick bravado to appeal to a bunch of guys who are insecure about the size of their brains and dicks.

This is my take as well. They're like a little more sophisticated forum posters from MMO-C, really. A lot of buzzphrases, throwing around debate arguments ("Fallacy!" - "No, STRAWMAN!" - "GOALPOSTS!!11!!one") and I have little to no respect for them or their position. Especially Shapiro seems to try to make professional debater a career. I'm sure he would argue in favour of the holocaust if you gave him enough money.

It's like saying 'Hitler did some good for Germany as well.' I mean, yeah. He rebuilt the infrastructure and lifted the people's spirit up. His motives were shit, though. You'll be hard-pressed to find any 'evil' person who only did harm for the people he ruled and caused nothing but suffering.
What? This idiot cant even hold a position in any discussion.
Average Peterson talking point: Medicine and healthcare has killed more people then it saved. Now im not saying thats true, mabye it did not, but i dont know that and you dont know that. Mabye it did, mabye it didnt.
Big brain discussions. When he makes a good point, he stumbles on it by mistake and nothing else. If you interpret this person has some great thinker, you were sold a fucking bridge and i question your critical thinking. On that note, clean up your room.
Simply wrong.
The problem is instead you that de-value the Nazis by throwing them around so lightly.

I haven't seen Shapiro as convincing or interesting in video (and mostly not discussing relevant topics; so I have just ignored him).
However, I did look him up (to check how likely the holocaust is) and he actually left Breitbart due to having some form of conscience and wrote:
"Indeed, Breitbart News, under the chairmanship of Steve Bannon, has put a stake through the heart of Andrew’s legacy. In my opinion, Steve Bannon is a bully, and has sold out Andrew’s mission in order to back another bully, Donald Trump; he has shaped the company into Trump’s personal Pravda, to the extent that he abandoned and undercut his own reporter, Breitbart News’ Michelle Fields, in order to protect Trump’s bully campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, who allegedly assaulted Michelle."

Yeah, https://youtu.be/2O_gW4VWZ5c?t=2842 - that's clearly wrong.
And "superbugs" are just what we call bugs that medicine cannot handle. Without medicine all bugs would be as deadly as superbugs (or close to).
And then he spreads the myth that medical errors are the 3rd leading cause of death in the US, which is wrong https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/are...0%2Fyear%29%20
Or don't, because Jung's work is mostly fantasy fiction with a pseudoscientific veneer.

The only people "de-valuing the Nazis" are the people trying to paint fascism as some exceptional outlier and not capitalism's immune response to reform, because in doing so y'all make it incredibly easy for fascists to legitimise themselves with the excuse "Well we aren't speaking German and using swastikas anymore so how could we *possibly* be fascists?"
So, thanks for that.
