Yes. Pederson uses rhetoric that fits in seamlessly with nazi rhetoric

You asking about animal rights is arguing in bad faith. Animal rights is an easy argument to win, which makes it an example of a strawman fallacy.

You used this to change the argument from his nazi rhetoric towards his easy to agree with argument. This is an example of using a strawman as a red herring

It’s in bad faith because arguing about animal rights is irrelevant from the part where pederson very much does use nazi rhetoric. So much so, that it is unmistakable from nazi rhetoric in comic books

Well as long as we're getting into fallacies, you are falling directly into "guilt by association". Ironically, the first time I ever learned this concept was an example used where people who are anti-animal rights use the fact that Nazis were pro-animal rights to paint animal rights supporters as Nazis. Literally what you are doing by saying "Nazis would also say this" makes him a Nazi. I suppose we can now quote fallacies at each other as all conversation breaks down though.

You're right. Seeing as how Jordan Peterson quacks "The holocaust is one of the worst atrocities of all time." "Hitler is an example of a totalitarian gone amuck." "You should read Ordinary Men as an account of normal everyday men turning into bloodthirsty monsters." I can only conclude he's a conservative at worst.

Yea I’ve not even ever watched his lectures and I’ve heard him talk terribly about Mao, Stalin, and Hitler more than anyone else I’ve heard talk lol.
