Peterson says that Hitler amplified the dark desires of the mob. That doesn't sound like an apology to me. Heaven forbid anyone try to understand the rise of Nazism with any semblance of nuance though. Of course they were evil bastards but that doesn't suffice as a historical explanation.

Something that I never like discussing about Nazi Germany is trying to contextualize their society at the time, even from a neutral standpoint. Its like not immediately taking the side of they are to be demonized like the horrible monsters they are means youre secretly siding with them.

yep. some people can't handle nuance. like trying to discuss the war crimes of the Israeli state without being called an anti semite.
