Tucker recently had an alternative historian on his show (Darryl Cooper, who runs the Martyr Made podcast) to expound on his view of the genesis of WWII, namely that Winston Churchill was a villainous figure. His twitter thread made after the show does a decent job of summarizing that point.
Obviously any suggestion that Hitler was not 100% Satan incensed the boomer right, provoking febrile emotional reactions like this one from Billboard Chris. The likes of Seth Dillon are also making their favorite call for "moral clarity," which I just read as "die for Israel" these days.
At the same time, a couple people made some decent counterpoints, namely that Hitler invaded a lot of countries at the time he was supposedly suing for peace. This is the problem with calling Churchill "the chief villain," which Cooper walked back into "a chief villain" on X.
Overall, the controversy is a good thing for the right. Tucker is softening up the ironclad boomer mythology of WWII - when you delve deeper into the motivations of the belligerents, you eventually delve into the question of, "so where did the Nazis get all this animus against Jews?" and "why is the Holocaust the greatest tragedy when 14 million Asians were killed by Japan and 20 million Ukrainians were killed in the Holodomor?" Also, blue laser eyes/red tint profile pics are gay.
No, because Hitler isn't trying to hide anything in Mein Kampf. He's not trying to lure the reader in. The third sentence is:
"German-Austria must return to the great German mother country, and not because of any economic considerations."
Subtlety is not Hitler's strong suit.
Straight lies are different. Hitler's much more comfortable with just full-on denying he's doing the thing he's doing while doing it and claiming that you're fucking crazy to think that the thing he's doing is the thing he's actively doing.
There's a famous speech he gave where he was making fun of FDR for claiming that Hitler had ambitions on Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Ukraine, Latvia, Estonia... etc. as a way of basically saying that FDR was a delusional conspiracy theorist for claiming that Hitler wanted to invade Czechoslovakia. ... Which he then proceeded to do a few years later.
