It was nearly surprising to see Markk first declare himself as a WW2 history buff, but then, directly following that, he brings up a "great discussion" about WW2, which turns out to be "the discussion" between none other than Tucker Carlson, a know-nothing provocateur, and Daryll Cooper, a Nazi apologist. He's not a scholar with a fringe opinion or even a real journalist. Did he even go to college?
Why would anyone care what a couple of loud mouths think about WW2? It's a subject so extensively documented that there is no reason a person with a serious interest in history would have any reason whatsoever to watch the podcast. Tucker had Cooper on for the shock value; to get views.
It's just -- wow -- the lack of self-awareness is staggering. How is it that Markk doesn't think he's going to simply get made fun of for first, having the gall to announce himself as a history buff, and then directly following that up with the infamous Carlson/Cooper podcast, that, you know, a person with deep interest in WW2 could learn a whole gosh-darn lot from!?
How you can take a podcast the least bit seriously that crescendos with Tucker coming to realize as Cooper insists, that killing all those Jews was a humanitarian act! By golly, the Nazis hadn't thought about the logistics of the situation and simply did what was best for everybody, including the Jews!
The religious right is truly sick.
In his Tucker Carlson interview, Cooper describes the Nazis as having “…gone in with no plan for [handling prisoners]… millions ended up dead there… we don’t have the food to feed these people… one of them actually says ‘Rather than wait for them all to slowly starve this winter, wouldn’t it be more humane to just finish them off quickly now?’ “
He presents this as the motivation behind resorting to gas chambers. Gassing the Jews was more humane than letting them starve.
That you buy this stuff is incredible, Markk.
