Darryl Cooper's third appearance on The Tucker Carlson Show

[Wetzelrad]

Today historian-podcaster Darryl Cooper made another appearance on Tucker Carlson's show. You may recall his first appearance two years ago was vociferously denounced, largely by narcisstic Jews and their allies who took offense to his comments on Soviet POWs and labelled them Holocaust Denial. A laughable affair in retrospect.

On today's episode they return to some of the same topics. Following up on the reaction to that previous episode, they made these remarks:

Carlson: Well, it just tells you a hurt dog barks. Like, the lies that have attached like barnacles to the World War II story define our lives and do lend legitimacy to projects that are inherently illegitimate and anti-human and harmful. The post-war system is a disaster. I don't know if it's a worse disaster than the war itself, but it's certainly a disaster. Completely destroyed Western civilization. I don't know if it's fixable. And so I guess if you're one of the rare beneficiaries of that monstrous system, uh you know, you've got a lot at stake.

Cooper: Absolutely. And um you know, the World War II narrative is is one that uh well, just look at the uh look at the response that we had in that episode to something that I said that I thought was fairly anodine. I could have put it in uh less punitive terms, I guess, with a nod to all of my English friends out there, but um but the content of what we were talking about was not anything particularly extreme that you can't find in in AJP Taylor or Pat Buchanan or something like that. Um, but when you have a a a topic, a historical topic that the slightest deviation can provoke that kind of a response that sends a message out to everybody of how they have to handle this topic. You know, there set about with taboos and, you know, forbidden areas that you're not supposed to.

Carlson: But you don't have to live like a slave anymore? Yeah, that's dangerous, I guess.

Cooper: Right, right. And so, but when that happens, you're naturally I mean, this is going it's naturally going to be a topic that is just incredibly fertile because you have something that is relatively recent history that we have a ton of documentation on that most people still know very little about what actually happened. And what they do know, a lot of it is not true or it's or it's, you know, true in a way that um doesn't necessarily uh prove the point that they've been taught to think that it proves.

The discussion continues like that. This again cannot rightly be called Holocaust Denial. It is moreso the adding of context, the putting of history into perspective. This has some overlap with what revisionists do but does not actually revise anything. Important work, even so, and highly mainstream, so users here might find it useful.

There's always a much bigger reaction against material that is intended for a mass audience. Most people don't read, so the powers that be don't make as big a deal about books. They censor books as well, of course, but a book is not likely to go "viral." The mainstream histories contain more revisionist and/or explosive material that you might assume, as discussed here:

But the most relevant data is often diluted and scattered and is presented in service of reliably politically correct conclusions. There is not too much danger that Joe Sixpack will read a bunch of books and start piecing together an alternative narrative. But Joe might listen to Tucker on his lunchbreak. This is why there are hysterics over anyone who summarizes and packages information for a mass audience.
