How dare the minority in education start organizing for equal rights! Those alt-right incels wanting equal rights are such radicals! …wait, what? I think people are underestimating the bias of their own tribe and that many people are “de-programming” from radical leftwing ideas (eg, systemic racism against Asians or systemic misandry in education) by finding content which exposes inconsistencies in those narratives and points out their underlying bigoted nature. When you’re part of a cult, you start accusing everyone of being “alt right” when they leave.

It doesn't take a huge amount of effort to find actual Nazis trying to use those communities as a recruiting ground, but trying to blame Jordan Peterson for that is insane and counterproductive. (Well, it's productive if you don't care about the Nazis and your real enemies are conservatives who have found a way to appeal to youths...)

  In fact, calling men who think it’s wrong that the majority sex in education receives special privileges (preferred acceptance; programs like Women in STEM) while the minority receives a cold shoulder “Nazis” is the fastest way to legitimize Nazism. Of course, one could argue that the collectivist authoritarians who believe in a racist ideology and are systematically enacting that at places like Harvard and Yale are the actual Nazis — who are merely trying to deflect by calling everyone else a “Nazi”.

    I'm talking about actual self-identified Nazis.

    > calling men who think it’s wrong that the majority sex in education receives special privileges while the minority receives a cold shoulder “Nazis” is the fastest way to legitimize Nazism Funny you mention that. In my country, government used to allow anyone to report their own gender and race. Then they added quotas for minorities in federal schools. Obviously this resulted in a lot of people self-identifying as minorities. To fix that "abuse" they created something I can only describe as a racial tribunal. People literally assemble and judge if you're black enough to fill that quota. Not just based on your skin color, place of origin and your culture but also anthropometry such as skull shape and size. I've seen actual published documents detailing criteria for this. Not even Nazi Germany was like this. In Nazi Germany, they just judged if you were german enough based on your ancestry.
