Can someone give me the rundown on this “Zoomer Historian” guy?
I'm super late to this but - he's a British guy who generally believes the British Empire was a net-positive on the world and that if the United Kingdom did not get involved in WW2 it would have retained its empire instead of going into rapid decline.
Which is generally understandable except the implication that WW2 was avoidable or that if it wasn't, the UK should have stayed out of it.
Those two points are what he has to defend the most. And those two points are what his haters won't let go of.
On another note, he appears sympathetic to Hitler but does not deny his war crimes.
Zoomer Historian says things implying he might be Christian, but he also says Hitler was Christian, and that's just flat out false. Look up "Positive Christianity" and the more you read the more you learn that Hitler worshipped the National State far above and ahead of God.
So if Zoomer Historian wants to be seen as objective, he ought to be willing to admit Hitler and his cohorts largely engaged in performative Christianity.
Until he does, he's standing on the blurred line between sympathetic to Hitler and aggrandizing Hitler.
Some would say, there is no line at all.
