Topic	What particular statements by Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson make them alt righ

Peterson had that one exchange where he made excuses for Hitler, and depicted the Nazis as "order" compared to the "chaos" that communism represented. I don't really get the issue with either point. Being "order" doesn't mean something is good. I mean, the Galactic Empire is "order". Still super evil though. As for Hitler, explaining his reasoning and why he did the things he did does imply support of his actions. It's like explaining how someone born into poverty and surround by gang culture feels like they have "no choice" to become a drug dealer. Obviously they do have a choice and their actions are wrong but that doesn't mean you can't try and see things from their perspective. <cite>Grischnak posted [p:913650769] in What parti...
