We need to talk about those journalists who praised Hitler
Spiked On-Line ^ | 24 May 2021 | Brendan O'Neill

Both the BBC and CNN have reporters who seemed to sing the praises of the Führer. That’s messed up.

...

However, we have got to be crystal clear about how perverse this situation is. Both the BBC and CNN, the self-styled moral consciences of the West’s right-thinking set, had reporters who relatively recently, or very recently, expressed support for Hitler. Just think about that. This should alarm us. It should alert us to how mainstream anti-Semitism disguised as anti-Zionism has become. What is most striking is the relative lack of fuss and fury these cases have generated. Yes, there has been a lot of commentary, some of it rightly angry. But generally it feels muted. This scandal hasn’t trended in the way one might expect. The cancel-culture mobs of the radical left have been especially schtum. The kind of people who will spend days and days agitating for the sacking of someone who made a joke about ‘trannies’ 20 years ago have been strikingly quiet about mainstream reporters who PRAISED ADOLF HITLER.

Once again we can see the double standard that is always deployed in relation to anti-Jewish hatred. Imagine if it was discovered that a reporter for the Daily Telegraph had tweeted approvingly of a genocide against black people. Or if a writer for the Wall Street Journal was unveiled as a loather of Muslims who fantasised about their removal from the face of the Earth. Do you think that kind of thing would have dropped down the concern-o-meter as speedily as these Hitler tweets have? Of course it wouldn’t. It would be obsessed over for days – weeks. It would be held up as proof of the moral rot at the heart of the right. But when it comes to Jews, it’s always a different story...

When people make stamenets like these, they should be taken at their word and we should remember that.

Anti-Semitism disguised as anti-Zionism.

Joseph P. and John F. Kennedy were admirers of The Fuhrer as well.

The old man was, I don't think JFK was.

JFK traveled to Germany as a college student in the 1930s and heaped praise on the progressive policies of the 3rd Reich.

The white race was 35% of worlds population in 1945. Today it’s around 7%

40-50 years from now when whites are genocides they will wish they had a Adolph Hitler leader who sticks up for the white race.
Does that make me a white supremacists?

Its not going to be pleasant for whites in n coming decades. Africa’s population is going to triple by 2100. They will overrun Europe and look for a bogeyman who will be the remaining whites, what’s left of them

Hitler only stuck up for some whites.

That said, I agree with the rest of your post. I hadn’t realized how dark (if you’ll pardon the pun) the demographic situation is already, and how sharp the trend is.

Just standard-issue, garden-variety progressives. Nothing to see here.

I am big history buff.

Just learned the trains did NOT run on time under Hitler.

It seems nationalization and central control of the trains didn’t really work.

True, but his son apologized for his father's bigotry, and I believe the current CEO of Ford is Jewish.

Stalin killed more, but I agree with the point of your reply.

They’ve already called everyone Nazis and Hitler. Trump, Romney, Bush I, Bush II, Reagan... So if everyone’s Hitler, nobody is. At this point, what difference does it make.

“This scandal hasn’t trended in the way one might expect. The cancel-culture mobs of the radical left have been especially schtum. The kind of people who will spend days and days agitating for the sacking of someone who made a joke about ‘trannies’ 20 years ago have been strikingly quiet about mainstream reporters who PRAISED ADOLF HITLER.”

Prior to the war, Churchill had a few good things to say about Hitler, for his economic program. Per one of his biographers who was a regular at his table, he detested Hitler’s anti-Semitism, and during the 1930s Winston was very close to meeting with him, but when he objected to mustache boy’s racial hatred of Jews, as opposed to enmity with specific Jews for specific reasons, the meeting was called off.
