While I think this is a good faith effort on your part @Skeptic, you are mischaracterizing Cooper. He is just on a similar page as Pat Buchanan's "Unnecessary War" and (maybe more controversially) Ernst Nolte's work. The functionalist vs intentionalist debate is a valid discourse and Cooper doesn't deserve these allegations. He has many essays and podcast looking at both sides of the conversation. It's a continuation of the Historikerstreit and no matter where you stand on this topic, a continuation of discussion is fair. Many modern, ivy league historians, like Timothy Snyder and others stand on the functionalist side as well. I'm sure as a PHD historian you are aware of this. Frankly, and sadly, I expected better than this virtue signaling to the uninformed. I thought that's what we as skeptics were trying to get away from.

Regarding your first comment, you seem to ignore "into submission". The situation at home in Germany was one of the key reasons for Germany's surrender. It's not immoral to cut off supplies to your enemy in a total war. Regarding Operation Catapult - When France surrendered the Armistice agreement between France and Germany included a clause that ordered the French navy to return to France. The UK knew Germany intended to invade Britain and they could not allow France's warships to fall into the hands of Germany. Great Britain was fighting for its very survival and these ships would be used against Britain. Britain asked them to hand over the ships to Britain or go to a British port and they refused. They were honouring their agreement with Germany. Britain gave them a deadline and told them they would be forced to open fire. Britain even extended the deadline everything failed and so they were left with no option but to sink those ships.

@@bogdanpopescu1401 I kinda figured you were one of those. By that I mean that you like Carlson. Certainly, the victors write the history, but we've had seven plus decades to more fully write and digest and rewrite new perspectives on the war. In the years during and following the end of hostilities, certainly propaganda played a role in how the war was viewed. If you watched Shermer's full comment, and if you fully understood it, you would not have the views you hold. So, either you didn't watch the vid in its entirety, or you are too daft or ideological to understand it or accept that the Allied victory over the Axis was a vastly better outcome than had it been the other way around. But that you give Carlson and Cooper any credit or consideration at all shows you are just, frankly, an imbecile. The extreme Right and the extreme Left are loaded with hayseeds, so your place among such people is secure and you have plenty of friends. But go ahead and keep believing that this alternative universe is where the truth lies.

This distortion undermines the essence of Hannah Arendt's concept of the "Banality of Evil." Arendt argued that evil acts are not always committed by inherently malevolent or monstrous individuals. Instead, they can be carried out by ordinary people who conform to societal norms and follow orders without critically reflecting on the morality of their actions. This concept highlights the potential for ordinary individuals to engage in harmful behavior when they fail to question or consider the ethical implications of their actions.

"ausrotten" literally means "to exterminate" or "to wipe out". The adjective "ausgerottet" is usually used when we eradicated something completely, like for example smallpox. So there is absolutely no way to interpret this in any other way. Whoever may have "translated" this certainly doesn't speak german. It's crazy that WW2 was almost a century ago and the number of history deniers are growing at this day and age... I guess the further back a certain event is, the easier it is to deny it. There aren't many witnesses alive today so it gets easier to twist the narrative.

Darryl Cooper has never denied the death camps - Michael Shermer simply made a fallacious assertion and you all beleive him. Cooper has records over 30 hours on this subject alone … funny how no critic of Cooper has posted a single iota of that material

The quickest way to explain that Tucker Carlson is a self-aware white supremacist is the segment he did on his Fox show about how British colonialism was a good thing. As one example, he cites the British giving India beautiful architecture. Because yeah: a colonialist train station (his example) is obviously more impressive than the Taj Mahal.

The best way to spot propaganda and state-mandated (un)truth is when a group declares an event absolutely set in stone and its unacceptable to ask why, how or for what reason.

I recently watched revisionist history videos on the causes of WW1 and WW2. In both cases, they never even mentioned France. When France had the largest military in Europe at the time, and was the greatest threat to Hitler's ambitions.

....also, if we're going to use historical consistency as a guide for trusting a person as an authority figure, let us compare the history of a certain Alison Smith with Mr. Shermers dedication the truth, or his truth ( ie. B.S.) including his multiple "interpretations " of what exactly happened that night between the two of them ( consensual or otherwise ) after all, he is a "historian", and those in such positions of authority should be trusted, should they not?

Tuckers family was abandoned by his mother when he was six. His father was a foreign correspondent during this time.Revisionism may be a large factor in his psychology. Replacement narratives to deal with the factual ones.

Perhaps Michael should extend his scepticism to the mainstream history he has been reading, most is reliable, some is not. I am always worried by people who are absolutely convinced they are right, because we never have all the information about anything.

I have listened to Cooper and read him for a while. I agree that he should have corrected Tucker on his “historian figure”. I’d suggest Michael that you reach out to Cooper (and show the receipts that you have done so much) and chat with him about his work that he put into WW2 more recently. From my perspective Michael you didn’t do your work here before “reacting” and “assuming” you are smelling something more than a critique of the absolute admiration of Churchill. This sounds eerily familiar to reverse racism, TDS and COVID washing done by the “left” today - where one cannot mention its critiques without being ad hominem attacked as “bullshitters”. It is too easy to lob “opinions” and “reactions” from afar, because Michael you too are falling prey to emotion, and not tactically and logically finding a middle. In the end it is wise to allow all perceived bullshit to be placed on YT, then one can read more and figure out what is true, otherwise you get stuck in a bubble and end up an old curmudgeon that can’t budge and evolve because you are “tired” of defending reality.

i have debated many of these new "darryll cooper fans" lately (and sadly, there are too many) - the only question they have not yet figured out an answer to is " if hitler was so peaceful, what was he rambling about in mein kampf? that was a rough (very rough) draft of his mission statement, and one he began carrying thru on the first day in office, starting with beefing up the german army but sure, he wanted peace
