Yeah. Nobody's perfect. But putting the word "Hitler" on your thumbnail is unforgivably inappropriate, which is why I've thumbed down your video. STOP CLICKBAITING!! 😠
IF Churchill were "like Hitler" in thoughts and im personality, he would have sought to TEAM UP WITH Hitler, as the fascist Mussolini did. He didn't. He defended the UK to the hilt. Even when Britain was "fighting alone", which we were at the start. Hitler wanted to put Churchill in a concentration camp.
IF Churchill would have been a modern liberal wimp - like Keir Starmer for example - the closest equivalent then was Neville Chamberlain: well he wanted to capitulate to the Nazis! All sellouts in all ages are similar, imo. 😏
& I'm a socialist, & I'm prepared to come out in favour of Churchill. Mind you, I am the daughter of a Free Czech airman, who fought in the Battle Of Britain and later joined the RAF. 😏
Tariq Ali might well have a beef against Churchill: but then he would, because he is from a colonised country! 😏 What Thatcher tried to do with Churchill's memory is neither here nor there.
But the desire for modern "political correctness", particularly on racial issues, in my view has totally distorted politics (look what's happened to the Labour party!) And made people AHISTORICAL and unrealistic in their analyses.
Stop putting "Hitler" on your thumbnails in that ahistorical, "woke" and frankly ridiculous manner, and then I might bother to watch a video like this to its end. Otherwise, not. 👎
