"The excuse that 'I was just following orders' only fails if/when you lose the war." #DarrylCooper

Oh look, another nazi with a giant Substack account...

===

Over the last decade, Cooper’s ideas have not changed much. The throughline of his career is his abiding interest in reshaping people’s understanding of two groups: Jews and Nazis. But he has cleaned up his act enough to build a major audience. Instead of appearing on a neo-Confederate podcast, this year Cooper went on Joe Rogan, where he subtly shifted the story of the Nazis into a more flattering light for millions of listeners.

With more than 170,000 subscribers, Cooper has the most popular history newsletter on Substack—beating out Adam Tooze, the Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Professor of History at Columbia University. On X, he has nearly 350,000 followers; one is Vice President JD Vance. Cooper has been profiled by the New York Times (“The Podcaster Asking You to Side With History’s Villains”) and held up as an author for understanding the modern right by a guest on The Ezra Klein Show. Tucker Carlson has claimed that Cooper is the “most important popular historian working in the United States today.”

How a Nazi-obsessed amateur historian went from obscurity to the top of Substack

Tucker Carlson has called Darryl Cooper the “most important popular historian working in the United States today.” His background is more extreme than previously reported.

Some 15 months later, the #conservative commentator #TuckerCarlson welcomed a man named #DarrylCooper onto his web-based show & introduced him to millions of followers as “the best & most honest popular historian in the United States.” The 2 proceeded to discuss how Adolf #Hitler might have gotten a bad rap & why British PM Winston Churchill was “the chief villain of the Second World War.”

Rechte antisemitische Hetze bei X: Der Holocaust als Ansichtssache

Der Holocaust als Versehen? Unter Elon Musk bekommen Geschichtsrevisionisten auf X ein Millionenpublikum und offenbaren den Antisemitismus der Republikaner.

@skykiss If Tuck thinks that Weird Donald was a fit president then it's easy to see why he'd consider Darryl Cooper to be an "honest" historian.
Trumpsters already regard Nazis as "very fine people". So Tucker Carlson's Nazi apologist pal fits in with that whole thing.

"Ultimately, Holocaust denial isn’t really about history at all, but about what’s permissible in the present and imaginable in the future. If Hitler is no longer widely understood as the negation of our deepest values, America will be softened up for Donald Trump’s most authoritarian plans, including imprisoning masses of undocumented immigrants in vast detention camps."
