It’s crazy that people still think any garbage that Coates writes is canon but I’ll admit Red Skull using Jordan Peterson talking points makes me chuckle.

I didn’t see the Peterson connection till I read a few articles about it. Dr. Faustus would've been a better character to fill this role. Since he is a trained therapist and has less notoriety.
Red Skull would probably be more like David Duke or Richard Spencer than Jordan Peterson to me.
Even as a liberal it feels tasteless to base Skull on someone specific rather than amalgam a few of them.
Unless it's Shapiro who I can't take seriously. He feels like a grown up version of Chuck the Hydra Hipster.
ok
I think with these comparisons, it's not so much them being actual nazis, which isn't who they are, and wouldn't be appropriate to outright be called that. It's more them using language which leads to radicalization. These alt-right types have been coddled by society while more progressive groups are often demonized and brutalized
The thing is, most leftist groups in the USA don't cause mass violence and aren't systemically rooted in centuries of government and societal corruption and abuse. So trying to draw parallels between "muh both sides" doesn't work. Anti-bigotry groups aren't out there separating right-wing parents from their kids, or trying to deny voting rights, or sterilizing their opponents.
For the most part, I don't think comics go too far into that kind of stuff, which is understandable, though not necessarily commendable
