I used a burner account that wasn't following many users, and the videos the X TV app offered me on first viewing includes a Megyn Kelly video accusing Tim Walz of committing “stolen valor,” a report from right-wing social media influencer Andy Ngo and Carlson’s fawning interview with historian Darryl Cooper who performs some revisionist history by calling Winston Churchill “the chief villain of the Second World War.”

I'm honestly surprised they're outright saying the Allies were the villains now...

Like, it's almost enough for me to try and Google the "historian" to see if she thinks Russia or the Nazis were the good guys.

You'd think they wouldn't push Russia because back then they claimed to be communist, but it's not like logical consistency matters to them. They like Russia now, so they could very well claim Russia was always the good guys.

Or they could just be more blatantly pro Nazi then they used to be.

it's not like logical consistency matters to them.

In fact, fascists see the ability to just say whatever gets them the most power in the moment as a strength. They're not held back by "weaknesses" like truth and facts

All that matters to them is power

They think that believing ridiculous things is a virtue, and they get training on how to do so every Sunday.

Winston Churchill was a certainly villain council member in his day, just maybe not the chief villain of WWII.

Edit:

Unless you're a fan of British colonialism, crushing unions, and aristocracy, in which case, I guess he was swell.

Lucky for him, history remembers him for standing up to Hitler, and not everything else in his life.
