I wasn’t going to bother, but if NY Times hates it and wants to make an issue of it, now I must listen to the interview for myself.
Please do and then you will realize that this backlash is exactly the point Cooper was trying to make.
We have built the entire post-WW2 geo-political order on the mythology of Hitler being the scape goat for every evil thing that has existed in modern times. It has become a religion upon which all of our actions must be measured.
If a country cares about it’s citizens...They must be Nazis.
If a leader supports Nationalist, populist, protectionist policies...he is literally Hitler.
EVERYTHING must be viewed through this lens and the only acceptable direction is towards progressivism and globalism.
To even question any of the WW2 narratives is sacrilegious and must be deal with swiftly.
For some reason it is socially acceptable to have a myriad of differing opinions on WW1, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, etc... but to question one word of the WW2 mythology is grounds for an immediate cancelling. The only other one that comes close is the U.S. civil war. Ask yourself why that is.
Smart move.
The smart money is on the NY Times lying about the event.
