Reply To: Jordan Peterson & Controversies

Hitler is not a "divisive" figure. Society at large has decided Hitler is bad. Those who are Hitler "fans" are outcasted by anyone reasonable in society.
Jordan Peterson is divisive and controversial - but he is only considered a "condemnable" by extremist fringe groups such as the far left.  There is no real condemnation of him, or social expectation to condemn him, except among these fringe groups. Because he hasn't massacred anyone, hasn't been a violent dictator, hasn't thrown people in gas chambers.  So, this comparison between him and Hitler doesn't make sense.
No one reasonably respectable in society would tout Hitler's ideas without expecting to be looked upon as an extremist by average people, but associating oneself with Peterson is not 'condemnable' except by extremists.
To compare Peterson to Hitler is making a mockery of the Holocaust and the people whose families died in gas chambers, or who have survived these horrible conditions.
