Haaretz: TuCa and Elon promoting Holocaust revisionism

He's discovered that different political tribes will use motivated reasoning to reach different conclusions. What a genius. I'm happy for him that he was able to dunk on this point of Cooper's. If we only had more twitter midwits dunking on more fascists, the world would be a better place, with better, more truthy information.

I believe it ridiculous and absurd to frame or link Churchill’s policy of no negotiation with the Nazi regime to the Holocaust and the war in Europe. No evidence for such even exists.
Cooper admits in the discussion that he is being hyperbolic and trollish in calling Churchill the primary villain of WW2. I think the attempt to make the point is ill-advised, if his intention is to be taken seriously.
Yes I recall that rather lame attempt to put a caveat on whatever point he was trying to make about Churchill. Not to worry, I was unable to take his tortured and ill advised hypothesis regarding WWII the least bit seriously.

Cooper is either a loon or a fraud. Carlson said he's "the best and most honest popular historian in the United States." Is following a trail already well-trod by Candace Owens really where Tucker Carlson wants to go?
"Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action," Ian Fleming wrote in "Goldfinger."
One fawning interview with a rabid antisemite like Munther Isaac is happenstance. A second fawning interview with a Hitler apologist like Darryl Cooper is coincidence. Will Carlson go for three and force us to conclude he's conducting an enemy action??

That means you liked his writers when he was on Fox. He is substantially different now, and less relatable. I still like most of his stuff directionally, but he can get ridiculous.

Cooper did an Ask Me Anything on his site in 2022, long before he went viral. He had been doing historical podcasts for several years and had some fans. Interestingly lots of left-leaning people, who were surprised to learn his politics leaned right. From this I glean that his politics are not obvious from the content he's put out before the Tucker interview. All of these hot takes about him being a Nazi or Fascist are based on what he said in the Tucker piece.

Cooper explains himself in detail here on why Churchill was the chief villain of WWII, Community Notes is having none of it.
Seems like more of a discussion than a dunk-fest. An at times nit-picky discussion at that.

Cooper's wikipedia page seems to have been created just today. I am not too sure he was on anybody's radar before the Tucker interview.
I looked yesterday as I had no idea who he was, and there was no Wiki page.
I guess his 15 minutes starts now.

I looked yesterday as well with the same result. Nada.

They keep referring to him as a historian. He appears to be just some guy in the internet.
