Red Skull and Jordan Peterson Have a Lot in Common in Ta-Nehisi Coates’ New Captain America<\/em> Comic

Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson has recently taken to Twitter, reacting against several published images from the forthcoming Captain America #28 comic, written by author, essayist, and Atlantic contributor Ta-Nehisi Coates

Peterson tweeted his reactions to the character of Red Skull, the apparent villain of the comic issue, who throughout his Marvel comic run is depicted as a Nazi and war criminal. In Coates’ latest Captain America issue, Red Skull appears to be using rhetoric similar to Peterson’s. In one panel, Red Skull is depicted on a laptop screen, as if the viewer were watching a YouTube video (one of Peterson’s platforms); beside Red Skull are the words “Ten Rules for Life”—a seeming reference to Peterson’s 12 Rules for Life.

Peterson tweeted an image of this panel—which also includes labels like “chaos and order” (themes Peterson often discusses, and a possible reference to his own latest book Beyond Order) “the feminist trap,” and “Karl Lueger’s genius” (a reference to an Austrian politician whose anti-Semitism is regarded a precursor to Adolf Hitler’s). While these latter quotes don’t seem to be direct references to Peterson, their proximity to an explicitly Peterson-inspired title makes the case for some connection. Beside an image of the comic panel, Peterson captioned his tweet: “What the hell?”
