'Fun' (not fun, horrible) detail about slavery vs genocide. During the holocaust, some capitalists saw all these people in concentration camps as nice business opportunity and convinced the nazis to sell them slaves to work in some factories. These people were basically beaten to death because they didn't work fast enough. (because they were hungry). So the statement is a bit counterfactual here (also, another point for 'capitalists would gladly work with genocidal fascists' for the people keeping score (also for any Jordan Peterson fans this will come as a big shock (he, as self proclaimed expert on this subject, famously said that the nazis were more evil than people thought because they didn't work the Jewish people to death)). For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monowitz_concentration_camp

And, it gets worse, this wasn't a remark from his 'crazy on benzos and attention' period. He did this in class. (the clip itself is a bit interesting as you can see what he is trying to say (trying to make a point about Jung), but you can also see why it is failing re the analysis of the war front because imho he doesn't understand facism and the nazis that well, so he makes it into a 'chaos for chaos sake' thing).

JBP: hitler did all that because he was a messy bitch that lived for drama
More like JBP looking at his tool box with his hammer called Jung in it. Ah! A nail!
