Self-proclaimed historian Darryl Cooper claimed Winston Churchill ‘was the villain of Second World War’ and that millions of people ‘ended up dead’ in Nazi concentration camps
I was following several youtube channels about farming. I was listening to a podcast where a few of them talk. The last couple of episodes have been peeling the mask off. One was talking about watching this shitbag and then went into weird pseudoscience, and that was when the podcast and two of the three people on it lost my subscription. Sucks because their actual content related to farming, animal husbandry, and building was useful, but they don't get my views, subs, or money if they're going to support people like Carlson.
He looks like he's constantly bewildered. He uses it so that he can give the appearance that what's going on is insane and that he's the last normal man standing...
And for the most part it just makes him look clueless...
I actually was worried he was an adult with disabilities being exploited by Fox when I first actually watched his show. The fact that he laughed at the idea that tacos are Mexican an origin when it's "obviously an American food from California!" Did not help
Anybody familiar with young children will recognize this use of passive voice as the phase where the child admits that something bad happened, but is not comfortable assigning responsibility yet. "The lamp got broken".
Hitler actually stole that look from him. He was a huge fan of Chaplin's movies back in the day. And that is why no one can dress like Charlie Chaplin for Halloween anymore 😔
I mean, Winston Churchill most definitely was a villain. He wasn’t the villain of WWII, but undoubtedly a villain.
He was intensely racist, had no problem using Indian people in his army while censoring their letters, as a famine he had a hand in creating killed over three million people.
That’s no excuse for peddling propaganda-Nazi propaganda, though. I thought that was kind of this guy’s shtick?
The dude is doing a live tour right now, or is about to be, and one of his shows is gonna have Alex Jones as a guest. This is not surprising and if anything, is super expected.
He was the host of CNN but eventually moved to Fox News and gained quite the following before a misinformation lawsuit caused the company to fire him (fall guy)
In his depression he travelled to Russia and found the passion to start a fake news podcast. And that takes us to today
A pro-Nazi television host who used to have a lot of air time on Fox. He hired white supremacists to write his topics. It was obvious to everyone with multiple brain cells that he is a far-right racist.
The victors always get to paint the picture that is history. I was pretty shocked learning things about that war (and period of time, in general) that were incredibly important but somehow eluded being taught to me in school.
Not ready to jump onboard the conspiracy train but it's interesting nonetheless.
I don't normally reply with something so blunt but this is a pretty shitty comment. This kind of half speak rhetoric is a major issue causing misinformation and its usage is far too pervasive.
And I'm not even saying you're wrong but if you want to prove the point the burden is on you.
Churchill was the villain his entire life, he's been hailed a hero despite his history. Hitler was evil too but the number of deaths directly attributed around the world to Churchill makes Hitler look like an amateur. The only difference is Hitlers victims were mostly white, Churchill's were mostly brown and history always placed a different significance to brown and black deaths
Do you have a source on Churchill's death tool in comparison to Hitler's?
Churchill was undeniably horrible and the naked colonialism of the British Empire had normalized atrocities occurring on a daily basis. But even so, I'm skeptical that his numbers would "put Hitler to shame," considering the scale of the wars and genocide Hitler caused.
The only difference is Hitlers victims were mostly white
Holy fuck, how fucking convenient that the victims of white supremacy (and groups of people who have been consistently excluded from and oppressed by white Christian societies) can be considered white when it fits the twisted game of oppression olympics you're trying to play here, to what, virtue signal? Be a contrarian? Or do you genuinely think the holocaust gets some sort of special status because white supremacist society somehow suddenly cares about Jews and Roma people (or queers, for that matter)?
I don't think anyone here would argue with you that Churchill wasn't a murderous piece of shit, but leaning in to holocaust denial is never going to help you make a case for anything other than that you're a holocaust denier.
No ones denying the Holocaust, I'm pointing out that Hitler is viewed as the bigger villain because he was killing white people. Society in general does not give a flying fuck if brown people are killed. Churchill was basically given a pass and essentially viewed as a hero despite his history.
I think the major difference here is malice. Did Churchill set out cause these deaths or was it greed and/or stupidity? Honest question worth discussion, I haven't heard of this prior.
Policy lapses such as prioritizing distribution of vital supplies to the military, stopping rice imports and not declaring that it was actually a famine were among the factors that led to the magnitude of the tragedy, he added.
So we're comparing some possible logistics mistakes, in a distant colony, during a defensive war where the ruling country was being bombed on their own soil. Comparing those "incendental" deaths to those of an aggressive conquering army literally rounding up their own citizens and those of the lands they conquered, to be killed.
Right.
She wrote that famine was caused in part by large-scale exports of food from India. India exported more than 70,000 tons of rice between January and July 1943 as the famine set in, she said.
That quantity seems pretty low. In comparison, I found an old post that indicated 300,000 tons of food aid had been supplied to Gaza over 190 days, so similar time spans, to a much smaller population.
Of course, exporting food while the residents are starving is terrible. But this is one study and one interpretation of results.
This certainly sounds like yet another bad faith strawman talking point by Nazi sympathizers.
