Tbh that is not much of a fit by Cole standards. It feels like he's trying to get Matt Sabourin canceled but his heart doesn't really seem in it.
I mean, he seems to be picking up the orthodox cross and running with it. I was reading through and was actually rather floored.
Does he legitimately not think there should be honesty in education anymore? Does he think there shouldn't be space for people to point out misuse of images, misleading captions and full out lies presented by the main stream as fact?
If you lie to the youth, and that lie is demonstrable just by looking at the record, you will reap nothing but sorrow when they grow older and figure it out (assuming that they do).
The amount of mistrust the miscarriage of 'Holocaust Education' sows is hard to measure or quantify. Once you begin to see the lies, you begin to spot so many others, in so many different places.
I must admit, I've never held contempt for Mr Cole. I wouldn't say I've been his biggest fan boy, but, generally speaking, I've listened to what he had to say.
I know you say this isn't a big melt down from him, but, to me, this is him at this point pissing on what is left of what I once called his integrity. Even if I thought in places he was dismissive or misguided, I at least thought he had integrity. This post from him is a contradiction to that integrity. It is him saying 'no, you have no right to speak, and we do not actually have a marketplace of ideas, this actually is a sacred cow now, and I keep it.'.
I'd like to have some words with him about it, truly. It's one thing to be wrong about Aktion Rhinehardt and to buy it hook line and sinker, because, I don't know, reasons. It is quite another to condemn and belittle those who point to the fissures and cracks and say 'this is not as it seems'.
Look at Matt describing how he arrived where he is. The lies, when exposed, kindled a fire in him. He isn't a 'zealot' or anything, he's just a guy that has arrived at many truths that run counter to the orthodox teaching and are demonstrable. You can call him a lot of things, but, wrong does not appear on the list.
