Cooper really dont know much, but being so well read, he ignores.OK, I have re-watched the segment on Cooper’s take on Winston Churchill. Which goes for about 30 minutes. I recall, watching most of that segment a few days ago. But now I have watched the entire segment.
Cooper talked about his idea that Winston Churchill was evil, that Churchill wanted a war with Germany , that Churchill played with action figures/toys in his downtime, and was upset when people interrupted him for news of the day…Cooper also talked about Churchill constantly ordering the bombings of German civilians because that’s all that has military at the time could do around 1940. Cooper said that Churchill was influenced by the bankers and the media to go to war with Germany.
Also said that after Germany had taken over France and pretty much controlled Europe that it made tons and tons of peace officers to the British, saying we don’t want war with England, we even want the British to hold onto their overseas colonies in Africa. And frankly, that makes sense because I recall Hitler and the Leaders of the third Reich were often in praise of the British empire. They respected the British empire, they wanted to have an alliance with the British against the Soviets from what I understand.
Fwiw I’m glad that the British, the United States of America and the Soviet Union all worked together against the Empire of Japan and the third reich . I’m glad that the British chose not to Ally with the third reich.
So on that segment, which ran for about 30 minutes on Winston Churchill, there was a lot of things that Cooper said that I was in disagreement with. Or maybe I should simply say I was against because I am somebody who would admires the allied powers of World War II and the sacrifices they made. The Allied leadership, including the Soviet union were faced with a monumental task of defeating the empire of Japan and the third Reich . So my disagreement is based on an ideology of supporting America and the allies of World War II. But there is nothing that Mr. Cooper said that can be construed as anti Jewish for example or in support of Adolf Hitler.
We might not like Churchill being referred to as evil, but do you know how many times I have seen posters on the US message board suggest that FDR was evil. That of course does not equal to them supporting Hitler. People can have a viewpoint that FDR, Churchill and or Hitler were all evil. That doesn’t mean that they supported the ideology of the third reich. It’s simply put Criticizing Churchill or FDR does not equal supporting Hitler.
By the way, I did not see Cooper deny the holocaust. And that would require simple evidence. Ok I want to hear Cooper say that 6 million Jews did not perish in World War II. I did not hear that. And even if Cooper said that it still doesn’t equal him supporting Hitler. It would make him a guy with a poor viewpoint in my opinion, and one that is ignorant of history. But we have to have specific evidence here …if somebody supports Hitler they actually have to say it. Because there has been holocaust denialists who have said well I don’t support Hitler. I just question the numbers with regards to the holocaust.
At the end of the segment Cooper is talking about the great migration north by millions of African-Americans to work in the Auto plant and steel jobs in the northern parts of the USA. And it was really interesting frankly. He talked about the challenges that blacks faced….Similar in a sense to what Italian and Irish immigrants face when they first arrived in America looking for work. I think the take away from that is how at least in those days those types of jobs paid an honest wage..remember in 1914 Henry Ford revolutionized the workforce and literally doubled the wages of his workers overnight. Ford was criticized by some of his wealthy friends and the newspapers saying “well you’re just gonna break your company”. On the contrary Ford Motor Company became a dominating force in the auto industry for decades to come and it provided millions of jobs to black and white Americans for decades to come. …. we need that today.
The CEO class of today, Elon Musk for all the good he has done for free speech on Twitter. His jobs at Tesla are nothing like they were when we compare them to Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Bethlehem Steel, Republic steel, etc from the American past. If you work at Tesla today you’re making much less compared to what the average steel worker made 50 years ago. And you don’t really have benefits or any kind of job protection because there’s not unions at Tesla.
I could care less what cooper says and how wrong he is, he is just mimicking, following on Howard Zinn's footsteps.
What I stated is why is Tucker in agreement?
Churchill's first targets in Germany was a seaplane base, surrounded by housing. Revisionist like to cling to civilian casualties as if they are the target and avoidable.
Cooper was dishonest. There is no value in listening to cooper. Not even to research history to counter the revisionism with fact.
Howard Zinn is the king asshole marxist American hater. Addressing Howard Zinn's original rants addresses all the back-benchers like cooper.
Churchill, do you know why he was a hero. 1899, Boer war, taken prisoner as a civilian and escaping. A great story thst some revisionists use to make Churchill look bad.
