To summarize, Jung believed in the idea of a collective psyche (collective unconscious), and that human culture isn't a primarily external phenomena taught between individuals, but something that is unconsciously received from the this collective psyche.

This has lead to all kinds of cool fictional ideas, such as the 'hero's journey' archetypes, or Warhammer 40k's idea of The Warp, or any number of sci-fi focused around the idea of human psychic development, around the idea that we will evolve to be able to access this collective unconsciousness.

However, it also leads to all kinds of strange things, such as the idea that these story archetypes are real human psychological profiles (a la Jordan Peterson) or ideas like 'love languages'. As has previously been stated, it essentially operates as psychological Tarot.

Basically, Jung is extremely fun when not taken seriously or scientifically, but can lead to very serious categorization errors. He has been thoroughly discredited within both anthropology, sociology, and psychology, and the only reason he is ever read is purely from a historical academic perspective.

Jung is profound in the same way TV Tropes is profound. He recognized patterns in human story telling.

Oh and as the other people said he was extremely fascist-adjacent, in not flirting with it himself. All around a piece of shit.

Also his work Wotan where he gets fully racist towards Africans, Indians, arabs etc. Kinda' like Nietzsche a lot of his work flirts with fascist and proto-fascist ideas and annoying-ass academic types love to defend it.

He also straight-up benefitted from the Nazis for a time. Didn't leave Nazi Germany for Switzerland until like 1939 or 1940 or some shit. Also worked with the CIA.

Also probably his most obviously evil, stupid idea 'it's actually cool as fuck for Germany to invade eastward to the USSR':

So I say, in this situation, the only way to save Democracy in the West—and by the West I mean America too—is not to try to stop Hitler. You may try to divert him, but to stop him will be impossible without the Great Catastrophe for all. His Voice tells him to unite the German people and to lead them toward a better future, a bigger place on the earth, a position of glory and richness. You cannot stop him from trying to do that. You can only hope to influence the direction of his expansion.I say let him go East.

Turn his attention away from the West, or rather, encourage him to keep it turned away. Let him go to Russia. That is the logical cure for Hitler. I don’t think Germany will be satisfied with a bit of Africa, big or small. Germany looks at Britain and at France with their magnificent colonial empires, and even at Italy with her Libya and Ethiopia, and thinks of her own size, seventy-eight million Germans as against forty-five million British in the British Isles and forty-two million French and forty-two million Italians and she is bound to think that she ought to have a place in the world not merely as large as that occupied by any one of the other three Western Great Powers, but much larger. How is she going to get that in the West without destroying one or more of the nations which now occupy the West? There is only one field for her to operate in, and that is Russia.

And what will happen to Germany when she tries [to settle] accounts with Russia?

Ah, that’s her own business. Our interest in it is simply that it will save the West. Nobody has ever bitten into Russia without regretting it. It’s not very palatable food. It might-take the Germans a hundred years to finish that meal. Meanwhile we should be safe, and by we, I mean all of Western civilization. Instinct should tell the Western statesmen not to touch Germany in her present mood. She is much too dangerous.
