An interview with Jordan Peterson, who believes in witches and dragons

When somebody lends support to Nazis and transphobes, they cease to be a human worth defending.

LOL. JP supports Nazis? I would have taken the time to show how everything you said about JP is obviously wrong if you spent two minutes watching his lectures, but you’re way too stooped into your presuppositions. Here’s a video by JP literally titled ‘How Hitler Was Even More Evil Than You Think’ – notice how actual nazis disparage JP in the comments section.

Here’s what Jordan Peterson wrote back in 1999 in his book Maps of Meaning, pg. 273;

the planned humiliation and rape of thousands of Muslim women in Yugoslavia, the holocaust of the Nazis, the carnage perpetrated by the Japanese in mainland China – such events are not attributable to human kinship with the animal, the innocent animal, or even by the desire to protect territory, interpersonal and intrapsychic, but by a deep-rooted spiritual sickness, endemic to mankind – the consequence of unbearable self-consciousness, apprehension of destiny in suffering and limitation, and pathological refusal to face the consequences thereof.

Further on in the book, JP calls Hitler’s men “barbarians”. But you don’t care about all that, do you? All you really want is to serve your prejudices against JP.

The reason why it’s not cherry picking is because no one, me or JP, claimed that it’s present everything in mythological literature. It just has to be present enough to be an archetype. There’s only one Peter Pan, but Peter Pan is an archetypal story because of what it represents. Again, this is literally the basics in Jungian psychology. I do not know why I need to convince you of something that should be an axiom in a debate like this.
