Tucker Carlson Says that Britain Did Not Gain from Defeating Hitler; When It's Put to Him That If They Had Not Beaten Hitler They'd All be Speaking German, He Says "So What?" and Adds "At Least They'd be Speaking a European Language"

The demon scratches infected him with full-blown diabolism.

Have to say I watched the full Tucker-Rees Mogg discussion and I've never seen Carlson so publicly owned in my entire life -- It was significantly more brutal than Crossfire / Jon Stewart

Tucker saying he wishes Hitler had won World War II was absolutely on my 2026 bingo card https://t.co/ln3pVWye5A

Tucker Carlson said it was wrong to fight Hitler because Britain wound up losing her overseas colonies.

That's a morally deranged argument.

I should also point out that this is entirely an argument pressed with all vigor by Adolph Hitler. It is true that Hitler repeatedly said he didn't want to go to war with Britain, though he said that with the threat that if Britain didn't allow him to capture all of Europe from the Urals to the Atlantic, he would go to war with Britain.

The pitch Hitler made to the UK, repeatedly, was that if the UK gave Hitler a free hand in conquering Europe, Hitler would allow the UK to maintain its overseas colonies and might even help. Of course, Hitler intended to capture all of the overseas colonies of the European countries he conquered. He was reassuring the UK that if they let him take over Europe and all of the overseas colonies maintained by Europe, he would not take further action to capture the UK's overseas colonies.

Of course... Hitler had repeatedly promised to not invade Czechloslovakia and then Poland and Russia and he had lied about all of that, so I'm not sure why Tucker Carlson keeps saying "but Hilter said, Hitler said" as if Hitler's word means anything at all. Except for that fact that Carlson is clearly a fan of Hitler.

Tucker Carlson defends Hitler’s decision to invade Poland, arguing that Britain shouldn’t have fought the Nazis:
“The UK had nothing to do with it, at all, and they destroyed their empire and their country fighting this war that they still pretend was a good idea, but it wasn’t” https://t.co/P5HgeMizlx
— Republicans against Trump (@RpsAgainstTrump) October 2, 2026

This is also a strange and childlike claim because Germany also lost of all of its overseas colonies after the war (and they had a bunch). (As did France, Spain, Belgium, Italy, etc. -- one might begin to suspect that the age of empires and colonies was drawing to a close, and would not have survived much past the 1950s with or without WWII.)

Correction: Bulg points out my error-- Germany lost its overseas colonies after World War One, not World War Two.

But apparently the UK is to be condemned for giving up its domination of third-world peoples just to make war on Hitler, whereas Hitler is excused for losing its own domination of third-world peoples just to make war on Czechoslovakia, and Poland, and Russia, and Belgium, and Norway, and Denmark, and of course, ultimately the UK.

It's the same shifting standards again that communists apply to the Soviet Union, only Tucker Carlson is increasingly showing his Nazi ass by performing the same service to Hitler.

Here's more of those shifting standards: The UK should be condemned for fighting Hitler but Hitler, Tucker Carlson states, had a solid "justification" for invading Poland and must not be condemned for doing so.

Tucker also continues insisting that it was wrong to end WWII in the Pacific immediately with the dropping of two atomic bombs, claiming that it's always wrong to take innocent lives.

Is it? As Max Nordau points out, Tucker consistently justifies and defends Hitler and Putin taking innocent lives, saying that their starting of wars was just acceptable Great Powers jockeying.

But America and of course Israel are not allowed the same "Great Powers jockeying for advantage" leeway; no, for America and Israel, the standard is you must never harm an innocent life, ever, and if you do, you must be condemned forever.

Note of course that this is the same kind of standards-shifting communists do when they attack America for, say, spiriting Nazi scientists to America to assist in our rocket program, while justifying Russia's doing of the exact same thing. After all, Russia was just engaging in some Great Power jockeying for advantage.

🚨 Extraordinary exchange between Tucker Carlson and Jacob Rees-Mogg on Hiroshima.
Rees-Mogg says the bombs were justified because they ended the war and saved far more lives than it took. Carlson refuses to weigh the lives saved at all. When Rees-Mogg says WWII couldn't have been fought without innocent people being killed, Carlson's answer is "I don't know, no one tried."
Tucker Carlson's two rules of war:
1. Never do anything that could cause the death of an innocent, even if the action would ultimately save more lives.
2. Unless you're Nazi Germany or Russia. In the same interview, Hitler "did not want war," and Russia invading Ukraine is "the state of play for all great powers."
He is condescending the whole way through: "So you can behave like an animal once the war starts." "I don't even understand what you're saying."
Then he asks, disingenuously, whether it's Christian to kill children. "I'm not Catholic, so I'm not an expert," he says, right after ruling for himself that the bombing fails Aquinas' just-war test.
— Max 📟 (@MaxNordau) October 5, 2026

Below is a speech from Hitler in which he openly declares his intentions for world domination.
“No people had more right to the concept of ruling the world (Weltherrschaft) than the German people. We would have had this right, and no other nation.”
(Stormy applause)
"Not England, not Spain, not Holland - no other nation could have had an inborn right, on the basis of its energy and competence, and also its numerical strength, to claim the domination of the world.
In the first division of the world, we fell short, but we stand now at the beginning of a new great shake-up of this world. Today, some people claim that we are entering an age of peace, but I have to say to them: Gentlemen, you have a poor understanding of the horoscope of our times, which points, as never before, not to peace but to war.”
Adolf Hitler, addressing his followers on 5 November 1930 in the Rhenish town of Mannheim.
The fact that Tucker Carlson is historically illiterate isn't surprising. What is harder to dismiss is how consistently that illiteracy manifests in making Hitler and the Nazis look better.

Here's a quote from Mehdi Hasan, arguably the most prominent Islamo-leftist influencer in the West: 'A lot of Muslims and Arab Americans... see him [Carlson] now as this great champion of Palestine...Wherever I go, literally, wherever I go in this country, I do a lot of live events, I do a lot of public events, people come up to me, 'When are you going on Tucker Carlson? When are you going to do an event with Tucker Carlson? Why don't you do a collab with Tucker Carlson? We love Tucker Carlson.' Wherever I go, people ask me more about Tucker Carlson, even in my own family, than they ask me about my wife and kids."

By the way: The Groyper/Hitler-adoring pseudoright keeps arguing that we must embrace a little bit of Naziism to attract younger voters, whom they assert are super Hitler lovers.

It's not true. Obviously.

If you wish to understand the Groyper/Tucker Carlson phenomenon with data, this poll is very instructive.
- Yes, there's a rehabilitation of Hitler afoot, especially among younger people, and it should alarm you.
- That said, the so-called "Zoomerwaffen" is also a tiny and extremely disliked minority of young people: only 2% of 18-29 year olds, which maxes out at 14% if you include the Groyper-curious "somewhat favorable."
- Hitlerism is still extremely disliked among a 66% supermajority of Zoomers, and that percentage approaches unanimity among Gen Xers and Boomers.
- When stories break about "groyper interns" and Hitler chatgroup leaks implicating DC staffers on the right, it's not because there's a hidden voter army of these sleazeballs invading the conservative camp. Rather, it's the consequence of certain irresponsible persons on the right who have both failed to screen out the bigots from their hiring processes and, in some cases, have actively courted applicants from this tiny but vocal postliberal sewer.
What this means: if you hear people defending Tucker Carlson's talking points from the Jacob Rees-Mogg debate, or if you hear someone arguing that these sorts of viewpoints are representative of what the younger generation wants, you are almost certainly listening to someone who lives inside an echo chamber (or fuehrersewer) that is completely detached from political reality. And more often than not, the people who want to cater to the Zoomerwaffen crowd are engaged in postliberal wishcasting about an emergent right wing radicalism among the youth that only exists on its extreme periphery. That right wing radical element is also utterly despised by an overwhelming majority of young people and everyone else.

Here is what many are missing:
Tucker Carlson does not believe much of what he says
He is a clickbait grifter manipulating his audience to maximise earnings
Evidence: When he was at Fox he was 100% Team Trump & said the 2020 election was stolen
But, in private, emails and messages revealed that Carlson detested Trump and thought the idea Trump had won the 2020 election was a ridiculous conspiracy theory and accused Trump's lawyers of "lying".*
"I hate Trump passionately", he said, calling him "demonic". Yet, on camera Carlson was Trump's biggest cheerleader.
He is up to the same tricks again.
Lacking any scruples or principles whatsoever, he will parrot whatever line maximises engagement with his content, no matter how damaging the consequences.
He has calculated that being pro-Putin, pro-Hitler and most recently pro-Islam will generate more revenue than if he is anti-Putin, anti-Hitler and anti-Islam like most others.
This makes him a dangerous menace, as there are so many gullible people who believe what he says.

Examples at the end of the original post.

He's obviously a shapeshifting grifter but I don't think you can say "he doesn't believe what he's saying." I think he does.

I also think that he's a fairly stupid man with a imbecilic teenager's capacity for complete self-reinvention every half-year. Now I'm into Backstreet Boys. Now I'm into N'Sync and Backstreet Boys are lame. Now I'm into Green Day and all that kid stuff is for babies. Now I'm into real punk like Butthole Surfers and Green Day is for posers.

Except, you know, with more Hitler Adoration.

A serious man ought not be so promiscuous and changeable in his core beliefs. He changes his beliefs like a girl changes clothes.

"Clevinger was already on the way, half out of his chair with emotion, his eyes moist and his lips quivering and pale. As always occurred when he quarreled over principles in which he believed passionately, he would end up gasping furiously for air and blinking back bitter tears of conviction. There were many principles in which Clevinger believed passionately. He was crazy."

The problem here is that Europe becomes a MUCH harder nut to crack. I am trying to remember numbers on the fly, but there was a vast commitment of forces to Barbarossa. Something like 300(?) divisions. Let's say you actually can take Moscow and cap Stalin in winter '41, spring '42, then all of those divisions (planes, tanks, men) become available to bring back west. Plus add in that the fuel issue the germans always dealt with is gone from the caucaus oil fields. So they can increasingly mechanize...

Yeah, not a great scenario, even if it would have gotten Stalin down. BUT, it would have also raised the likelyhood of a European usage of nukes.

It's a fun scenario to game out though. Defeat all communism/socialism/fascism at one time, when you have the will and men and material to do it.

yes, he was lying about everything. He had a sequence of conquest in mind, but knew he could never win without quickly knocking out some countries and keeping other countries out of the war by signing non-aggression pacts he never intended to honor. The obvious example is his non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union -- conquering the Soviet Union for "lebensraumen" was always central to his plan for conquest, but he knew he could not fight Russia and France at the same time. So he signed the pact with Russia, then defeated France, and then almost immediately invaded Russia.

79 >>>Tucker Carlson said it was wrong to fight Hitler because Britain wound up losing her overseas colonies.

>>>That's a morally deranged argument.

I disagree with the last sentence.

First and foremost, as you later point out, Britain was unlikely to have been able to keep her other possessions in a deal with Hitler. Hitler would have reneged later at a time more to Germany's advantage. So, morality aside, GB had other reasons to take on Hitler.

But it is hardly immoral for a nation to determine its own interests in waging war and determining that they don't want to be the world's savior if it runs against their own self-interests.

Neither GB (nor any other nation!!) owes it to the world to take on all the monsters running around loose.

85 Tucker also continues insisting that it was wrong to end WWII in the Pacific immediately with the dropping of two atomic bombs, claiming that it's always wrong to take innocent lives.

For every DAY that Japan continued to occupy lands not theirs, it has been estimated that roughly 10,000 civilians died. 10K. Every day. Ask Tucker to square that with his "concern" about using nukes, and presumably a preference for a slow blockade (which wouldn't have worked anyway).

So the American right are just openly Nazis now huh? Gotta give credit to the Nazis. We thought we'd beaten them. Turns out, they were just playing the long game.

He is basically saying being under Nazi rule is better than having brown immigrants come to the country. Same logic as 'spoiling the blood' comment by the prez.

He's preparing for a presidential run. His platform is going to be: Trump was great, until he wasn't. He fell to the deep state. So I will be all the good things you liked about trump (that's whatever you think it is) and none of the bad things.

Oh look, a right winger turned out to be a nazi. Real "fork found in kitchen" moment. Neo Nazis literally watch his show to learn how to say their talking points in ways that seem less overtly Nazi-ish.

Certainly the DeepState is evil, but I can't see how Hitler would have been better than our current state. We are still at "war" with globalists and other totalitarians (Islam/CCP), but at least we can still fight against those evils.

They turned before WW2, but it became much more obvious afterwards. Most of Europe decided in the early 1900s that industrialization would improve things so much they could have a 4 day work week and big social welfare programs and whatnot.

This is why they were never the leaders in computers, semiconductors, the Internet, or AI, and why a lot of their manufacturing is fleeing.

By the time the Yalta conference convened, the US and the UK were desperately trying to pin Stalin down for a declaration of war against Japan. The Manhattan Project still hadn't demonstrated a working fission bomb, and there were no guarantees it ever would work. Besides, shifting hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops to the Far East would mean hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops not within striking distance of Soviet-free capitals in Europe. By the time of the Potsdam Conference, Soviet military forces fully occupied the countries of Eastern Europe. It would have taken another global war to kick them out.

191 One reason the UK was so broke after Dunkirk is that the US had passed the "Johnson" Act in 1934. UK owed a lot of money after WW1 (as did others), and the US had forbidden itself from lending any more.
Roosevelt (and, later, Willkie) wanted to do more for Britain but the American people lagged them. Over 1940, FDR (with, again, some Republican backing) started Lend-Lease but of course most of that just ended up with Stalin in 1941.
Britain kept the colonies because otherwise Britain would frankly have starved.

223 I found this interesting while digging around in the Carlson family history:

Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson's father was Richard Carlson who lived a long and interesting life, pretty much setting up Tucker for his media ventures. Richard died in 2025. That's about the time Tucker seemed to publicly go off the deep end so to say. Here's a quote from Richard that I think reflects Tucker's current behavior:

Carlson was said to be an active father who had a specific outlook in raising his sons:

I want them to be self-disciplined to the degree that I think is necessary to find satisfaction ... you measure a person on how far they go, on how far they've sprung. My parents, the Carlsons, they instilled a modesty in me that, at times, gets in my way ... I know it's immodest of me to say it, but it's difficult sometimes when you want to beat your own drum and say what you really think.

Read a story, don't know if it's true:
That Truman didn't want to drop the bomb, but one of his advisors said, "What will you tell the American people, at your Impeachment, that you could have saved hundreds of Thousands of American lives and ended the war sooner?"
After that, Truman gave the go-ahead.

A reply to such a leftist,

You (the leftist) are obviously too short for this ride is my response. To have academic discourse, it requires a common background in education and experience. Frankly, it is not worth my time to rectify your ignorance nor to listen to your pathetic attempts to instigate Socratic questioning in the dialogue with the aim to 'disqualify' if I don't mention your favorite and only 'cite'.

True academic research requires a sober acknowledgement and treatment of arguments, even ones we dislike, seriously that have a basis in fact. We do this not to disqualify like the rather stupid Wiki crew does with their endless twaddle of requiring cites but then rejecting and cherry picking what cites are admissible. Instead, we do this in order to recognize commonality of the academic discourse on a particular topic. Leftists are mostly incapable of such knowledgeable discussion because they are emotionally incontinent bed wetters that mistake ideological passion for truth. To such people, ideology is all, reality is meaningless if it does not agree with what the ideologue thinks should occur.

271 Hitler always viewed the British as a prodigal son of the Germanic peoples - and he did offer them a guarantee of their overseas possessions if they gave him a free hand on the Continent. Both ideas expose his nearly perfect and deliberate ignorance of European history.

But both ideas are predicated upon Britain - the last remaining true military and imperial power in Europe - relinquishing their status as such and ceding primacy to the Germans.

Ridiculous. If they weren't going to knuckle under for the mighty French century after century, why would they suddenly do it for the upstart Germans, let alone the bohemian Austrian corporal?

The Nazis brlieved this was possible because Hitler was high on victory and meth, and Goering was coming off the heroin, and Hoess was bugfuck nuts. Clear heads would never have seriously considered these overtures.

People in journalism (and politics) show high tendencies toward sociopathy. Add in narcissism for those on air and you get a really nasty mix. Think of them, both pols and journalists as actors from Hollyweird and often sharing the same deviant proclivities (Shep Smith or Barney Frank anyone?) that mark our political and infotainment circus.

If you don't take cues from actors and musicians on public policy, then you shouldn't do that with politicians and news readers.

I would also now include Democrat judges and lawyers in that since the left cannot help but being histrionic crybabies that must win or the revolution will be lost regardless of what they destroy in the present.

It'd be more newsworthy if SNL made a funny skit.

I was browsing around on YouTube and came across a sketch about a woman who worked with Bob Fosse teaching a dance class.

The extent of the joke was "saying funny words to the dance moves instead of numbers." It went on for 5 minutes.

Tucker also continues insisting that it was wrong to end WWII in the Pacific immediately with the dropping of two atomic bombs, claiming that it's always wrong to take innocent lives.

Air delivery of two homemade portable suns into your uncivilized genocidal adversary's cities goes a long ways towards adjusting their attitude in regards to unconditional surrender.

Plus, the fuckers deserved to be nuked. Imperial Japan made both Hitler and Stalin look like dilettantes when it came to genocide.

Ironically, nowadays I'd take modern Japan as an ally over virtually any of our WWII allies anytime. Despite the weirdness of their culture. I mean, they have computerized toilets, used panty vending machines, snaggle-toothed barely legal waifs and they worship a 60 story tall lizard with nuclear halitosis.

There's still elements of that hivemind in their culture, but it's largely focused inward and into commercial ends. The Salaryman, for example. But they also have the safety valve of horizontal mobility, in that you have the ability to jump ship to start your own business or work for another keiretsu. Still pretty tough to go against the social flow, but good luck trying to do that without getting your head lopped off in the pre-WWII Japan.

>>He inherited O'Reilly's timespot

He actually inherited Megan Kelley's timeslot when she left, then when Bill got canned, they moved him up to Bill's slot.

The amazing thing about FOX is that they can basically shit can their superstars and still maintain the audience and ratings.

Which goes to show that if the other networks were even the least bit fair and balanced, they would eat into FOX's rating and ad revenue.

🔥🚨 LATEST: Hollywood thought they could wrap climate change messaging inside a big-budget Tom Cruise film and force Americans to buy a ticket. They were wrong.

Digger pulled in just $3.4 million on Friday, including Thursday previews, across more than 3,300 theaters. That is a catastrophic return on a $160 million production budget from Warner Bros.

Americans are done being lectured. When will Hollywood figure that out?

402 Hitler invaded Poland to bring the German economy under total controls only permitted during wartime.

Horace Greeley Hjalmar Schacht told him in July 1939 that the Reichsbank had lost control of the bond market and that the Reichsschuldenverwaltung was having to pay huge increases to place official national debt.

Additionally, the Metallurgische Forschungsgesellschaft m.b.H., (MeFo) shell company bills workaround collapsed. MeFo bills were 40 billion Reichsmarks of off book government debt.

Posted by: rickb223 at October 05, 2026 01:19 PM (y3C0K)

That's kind of a recent development. When the mohammedans gave the IRA money, arms and training during The Troubles, they tolerated the swarthy unwashed A-rabs. Of course, that's most likely because it was pass-through support from the Soviets.

408 Europe needed new warm bodies because they were not having enough kids and their "free" health care was facing a gigantic population of old people without enough workers to pay for it all. Their social programs kept growing but their workers were shrinking. So they figured to flood the zone with 3rd worlders doing crappy low wage jobs.

I think that the reason they wanted Muslims specifically is twofold.
1) the asinine leftist idea that everything is made up of oppressors and oppressed with the Muslim being the most oppressed, required them to help out and give Muslims better conditions and protection because they only could be terrorists and awful goat humping pedophiles because the west was do mean to them for so long.
2) Muslims began a clever program of convincing leftists that not letting them be involved and "advise" everything was racist

A supplemental point in England, France, and Spain was feeling guilty for being "so mean" to Muslims in their colonial past.

Posted by: Thomas Bender

That is the funny part. Fox has traditionally not been able to parlay its audience into advertising gold because of leftist ad buyers in marketing departments. Dunno about now but cable tv is a declining industry that will probably die out soon with its audience. Social media has gutted radio and tv/cable revenues and last time I checked, Apple, Google, and Fakebook ARE the ad market.

412 Tucks (hemorrhoid remedy) needs his head examined. We say that about many people, but his really does need a CT or MRI to diagnose his problem.

He either has a brain tumah or a worm from bad sushi. Or HIV infected glowy from his ghey romps.

The photo above of him with his eyes closed, furrowed brow, is indicitive of an orgasmic or especially painful constipation fecalith. Gross!

Posted by: Boss Moss at October 05, 2026 12:23 PM (1ikK2)

They were kind of held back by the late start - the nation didn't exist until 1870 or so. They grabbed some islands in the Pacific that were turned over to Japan in WWI - which we had to invade in the Pacific - and a few colonies in the southern part of Africa (Namibia and Tanzania).

417 Tribalism. It's what's for dinner

There's a reason why pretty much the only stable national borders in history are tribal. Regardless of what happens in the war, Ukraine will need to face up to the fact that ethnic Russians don't want to be Ukrainian, for instance.
Posted by: Ian S. at October 05, 2026 01:16 PM (2ocoG)

Those two groups actually got along pretty well for most of Russian history aside from some colluding with the Nazis in WWII. But Modern Ukraine has lots of enclaves of pretty much pure Russian (Crimea, Donbass) which Russia now mostly occupies and lots of enclaves of Poles, Czechs, Hungarians and Romanians on all the other borders that also might not want to live under an ethnically pure Ukrainian state.

---------------------

Not as informed on the details of Germany's economy but its Socialist underpinnings - that in effect the government could just demand product off books and get it and the huge growth of the armed forces since the 30s could not have been good for the country's stability.

If I follow the twists of his public logic the US is super evil because we used the Atomic Bomb in WWII which was invented by demons. I'm kinda shocked he didn't mention that Oppenheimer was Jewish. That spread to the bombing campaigns in Europe and from there to Germany should have won.

422 13 Britain should have let the Germans annihilate Russia.

Posted by: Boss Moss at October 05, 2026 12:18 PM (1ikK2)

That's a dumb take. Germany was very low on oil and conquering Russia would have given them access to the oil they needed to continue prosecuting the war.
