The Devil and His Due: How Jordan Peterson Plagiarizes Adolf Hitler
It might sound implausible—even preposterous—but the world’s foremost public intellectual is a Nazi and an occultist.
The Devil and His Due chronicles how an obscure professor obsessed with the subject of evil rebranded himself as a pop-psych guru and shot to stardom by combatting “Marxist” compelled-speech laws that never existed. It illustrates how Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, father figure to a legion of male followers, is a cult leader who identifies as “the saviour,” feigns Christian beliefs, glorifies Satan, networks with white supremacists, praises serial killers, discusses “the Jewish question,” touts banned substances as “miracle cures,” encourages converts to slaughter goats in backyard sacrifices that ought to be “sufficiently bloody,” and teaches that the alt-right project is “incomplete.”
Peterson has spent 35 years pretending to warn against fascism while gushing about Hitler’s boundless talents and channelling his speech. Undeniably, the lecturer’s 12 Rules for Life and Maps of Meaning have been systematically plagiarized from volumes like Mein Kampf and Hitler’s Second Book. Troy Parfitt has documented over 4,000 examples of Jordan Peterson copying from Adolf Hitler and others, especially Friedrich Nietzsche, Carl Jung, and the necromancer Aleister Crowley, who believed the Führer to be “a prophet” and lobbied to have his satanic religion made the official faith of the Third Reich.
Parfitt exposes Peterson’s hidden identity, academic theft, and latent belief system. He decodes his crypto-fascist messages and tells the mesmerizing, bizarre, and entirely true story of an elaborate prank—a ghastly joke born out of vengeance and psychosis, and perpetrated on millions of unsuspecting people.

OK this is a weird one. This is a very strange book. Firstly, let me start with a singular positive point. In the first thirty pages, some important and significant questions are asked about Jordan Peterson. These are good question that require some powerful answers.
Those answers are not available in this book, but are ready for readers to probe.
Many arguments are stubs in this book. An odd turn was the movement to explore Peterson's 'plagiarism.' To offer this mode of reasoning, a much deeper investigation of information, research and citation was required. The relationship between (poor) paraphrasing and plagiarism required further attention.
This long book is dominated by the author presenting a statement by Peterson and a statement by Hitler in turn, supposedly revealing the similarity.
Both of them discuss good and evil, injustice, individual and collective rights. These topics are discussed by millions of writers around the world. From my research, I know that Peterson does not have a strong grasp of 'totalitarianism'. He is a clinical psychologist, a hyper-empiricist and has no historiographical expertise. But Parfitt has read similarity between Hitler and Peterson and termed it plagiarism. He has read incompetence and confirmed fascism.
Jordan Peterson is not very bright and not very well read. Clinical psychology methodologies frequently fetishizes a small data set and renders it representative. If Parfitt was going to action a commentary about academic protocols, then assumptions of similiarity were not adequate. A deep engagement with his academic authorship is required. Most overtly, a cursory assessment of his refereed publications - and the domination of his ranking as a second, third or fourth author rather than the first or last author - demonstrates his capability as a researcher.
Parfitt required deeper epistemological expertise. He asked some good questions. He lacked the capacity to answer those questions.

Something between pig shit and horse dung...or vice versa

Author has traveled around the world but has learned nothing.
Book has barely any structure. The entire content is repetition of the same concept. Very bland and surface-level critique, that's easy to deconstruct. The so-called " plagiarism" from A. Hitlers "Mein Kampf" are mere two word phrases widely used to talk about life, society and philosophy in general.
The advertisement campaign on YouTube doesn't justify the price, or even - the existence of the product.
Personally, I think this is a pathetic defamation project of a very resentful person. The incompetency of the author is criminal.
I must admit, that even Elliot Rodgers manifesto was a better literary work.
1/10

This is not even worth the paper it's printed on. Lies and slandering by a small and sad human being. This says nothing about Jordan Peterson, but it says everything about the so-called author. I do not understand people who lie and lie with the goal of destroying someone just because of difference of beliefs and opinion. My best bet is that it must be because of jealousy, which is both tragic and pathetic.
Do yourself a favor and dont waist energy or money on this utter piece of BS.

Imagine this is your life's work, you must be sad

The author (in both this book and in his various YouTube videos about Peterson) fails to back up his contentions regarding Peterson with any compelling evidence. More accurately, his “evidence” is speculative nonsense. The author takes waffle to a level I have never previously witnessed, and having watched a few of his YouTube videos, it is clear that his obsessive hatred of Peterson is impeding his ability to be objective and rational.
