Tucker Carlson accused of airing ‘pro-Nazi propaganda’ on show
Self-proclaimed historian Darryl Cooper claimed Winston Churchill ‘was the villain of Second World War’ and that millions of people ‘ended up dead’ in Nazi concentration camps
You're viewing a single thread.
Churchill was the villain his entire life, he's been hailed a hero despite his history. Hitler was evil too but the number of deaths directly attributed around the world to Churchill makes Hitler look like an amateur. The only difference is Hitlers victims were mostly white, Churchill's were mostly brown and history always placed a different significance to brown and black deaths
The only difference is Hitlers victims were mostly white
Holy fuck, how fucking convenient that the victims of white supremacy (and groups of people who have been consistently excluded from and oppressed by white Christian societies) can be considered white when it fits the twisted game of oppression olympics you're trying to play here, to what, virtue signal? Be a contrarian? Or do you genuinely think the holocaust gets some sort of special status because white supremacist society somehow suddenly cares about Jews and Roma people (or queers, for that matter)?
I don't think anyone here would argue with you that Churchill wasn't a murderous piece of shit, but leaning in to holocaust denial is never going to help you make a case for anything other than that you're a holocaust denier.
No ones denying the Holocaust, I'm pointing out that Hitler is viewed as the bigger villain because he was killing white people. Society in general does not give a flying fuck if brown people are killed. Churchill was basically given a pass and essentially viewed as a hero despite his history.
Looked it up, referring to this?
Churchill’s policies to blame for millions of Indian famine deaths, study says
I think the major difference here is malice. Did Churchill set out cause these deaths or was it greed and/or stupidity? Honest question worth discussion, I haven't heard of this prior.
This article provides some quotes that certainly seem to indicate that malice played a role, or at best callous indifference.
Expanding colonialism is always malice
FWIW I didn't down vote you, but I don't think all malice is equal. Driving with a heart condition or narcolepsy and killing someone isn't the same as driving through a crowd to get revenge.
Do you have a source on Churchill's death tool in comparison to Hitler's?
Churchill was undeniably horrible and the naked colonialism of the British Empire had normalized atrocities occurring on a daily basis. But even so, I'm skeptical that his numbers would "put Hitler to shame," considering the scale of the wars and genocide Hitler caused.
