   this historian guy that tucker interviewed: people are calling him both unfair to the third reich and a nazi apologist.
   
   So, I think that alone makes him interesting. He has said he tries hard to understand where all sides are coming from. He's also basically said he doesn't think a 3 year old of any of these people are evil - which implies he wouldn't go back and kill baby hitler.

     @sickburnbro it was a pretty frustrating yet fascinating interview to listen to because that guy seems to be both guntguarding and cutting uncomfortably close to the truth at the same time. he does cry a lot about niggers though

     @SaltWraith yeah, I think him caring about blacks so much was interesting, because he was overall very fair.
     
     In some sense he has the attitudes of a midwesterner from like 1850, no real experience with the mode nigga, but really truly hopes the best for them.

     @SaltWraith I think his whole take on Jonestown, which of course here is just a summary of what he talked about was pretty interesting.
     
     I think what was most interesting was how he was very upset that a huge portion of those who died there were children and the elderly and how the politicians from california were calling them and feeding their paranoia.
     
     I also think his take on ideologs was very interesting - what happens is they have to meet reality and how that can destroy movements, and it's all about how their deal with reality.

     @sickburnbro He was crying about how it was mostly niggers that died in Jonestown, meanwhile I feel less bad about Jonestown knowing it was mostly niggers that died there. Hell, Kanye should do an all black Jonestown reboot.
     Also he talks about how there's Mexicans taking over traditionally nigger occupied cities and killing niggers as if I'm supposed to feel bad about that. Like it's a heel heel matchup.

     @branman65 @SaltWraith pretty much. But I think his point is interesting. He says Jones was an idealist. Which I can believe. He probably was like a lot of midwesteners - "can't we all just get along?" .. and the story ultimately is how reality broke him.

     @branman65 @SaltWraith The part I think he was most insistent upon which a lot of common stories tell is the "Jones was in control of these poor people and they didn't know what they were doing".
     
     He thinks otherwise, which, really just makes him a realist - but is also important for a historian.
     
     This also means he almost certainly doesn't believe the magic mustache man story either.
