But, you know, you said the thing about you could tell when something's infected because you touch it and you recoil, and you go, ooh, something's going on there. Yeah. What exactly is it? No, that doesn't prove what's going on. But look, you can't, the fact that Daryl's moment on your podcast sitting right here where I'm sitting got such a reaction. Yes. Really demonstrates something.

And you see that it's like, oh, you touched on like a third rail. Or hurt dog bark. Yes. Well, and in the same way, when you had first questioned the morality of dropping nuclear weapons on on cities and then there's this big freak out over that. And now nobody here has said, hey, the Nazis were the good guys. The Nazis didn't commit any atrocities. Nazis were bad. No one's even downplaying.

No one even made the argument. I remain Nazi for the work. Yes. For the record. But I'm saying, like, no one even made the argument that, like, it was five point nine million. No. Not six. This topic hasn't even been broached. No. But what you are attacking is really the underpinning of the origin story of the American empire. Exactly. And that's what you're not allowed to question. Exactly.

And you see it the way every... Every defender of every war, including the current one, if you can call it a war going on in Gaza. I'm not sure war is exactly the right term to describe it. It's the destruction of a captive people. But every single person who defends it will always invoke World War II at one point.

Not even arguing that, like not even making an argument that this is why it was justified in World War II. Just like we did it in World War II. We did in World War II and we're the good guys. So good guys are allowed to slaughter entire peoples. You know, it's like, it is the, and look, even if you accept the official World War II story as being completely correct,

It's still something that's used to justify all of these other indefensible wars. Every war of my lifetime, and I doubt too many people really want to defend the ones in between World War II and when I was born. You know, I don't think anyone's going like, look at Vietnam. It did such a great job. It's such a good thing that we did that. And those who are attempting to defend it are pathetic.

But... you know, Iraq and Libya and Syria and Afghanistan. And even the ones when I was a little kid, you know, Serbia, every one of these guys, they always said was Adolf Hitler. Milosevic is Adolf Hitler. Saddam Hussein is Adolf Hitler. Gaddafi is Adolf Hitler. Noriega is Adolf Hitler. Every bad guy has always been. It's like they use this model to

To justify, you're only ever allowed to learn the lesson in history that's like Chamberlain was an appeaser, appeasing bad, confrontation good. As if the lessons of history are that aggression is always correct. Trying to work out a deal is always wrong. Yes. And that's why I think it's so important to attack that narrative.
