I hope you get a Rogan or Lex Fridman interview soon to broaden awareness of your takes, although arguably you have almost bigger exposure now than Lex.

Joe has brought on controversial people in science lately, some with little/no credence, and I thought they were enjoyable episodes regardless. They claimed JRE is one of the only public spaces they can questions main stream ideas still. Disrupting the cogs has had an effect on the flow of desired public perception. As you said in the Tucker episode, the countryтАЩs national starting mythology has been questioned. I whole heartedly believe you create the best long form videos about important topics. I appreciate you have repeatedly said you would not fall for the god complex that comes with being a professional with following. It is wonderful to see people recognize your work finally and I look forward to the new series. It would be an absolute shame for anyone to say you cannot be on their platform. Personally, I believe you do not need them regardless. Martyr Made is bigger than a guest spot on some show. It has been an absolute pleasure to listen to your many works. You will definitely have the money to feed your cat now.

IтАЩve always wanted you to go on JRE but I also donтАЩt want to taking your time away from MM and The Unraveling podcast.

I disagree, Joe loves hosting people who are misrepresented by the establishment. HeтАЩs super salty about how they treated him during covid and is more than happy to give a voice to others in the same boat. If anything this helps your odds. And on top of that Dave Smith loves you and plugs your content every time heтАЩs on JRE.

Now, on the other hand, I had always hoped youтАЩd go on my other favorite podcast The Fifth Column but thatтАЩs definitely not going to happen ЁЯШВ. Would have loved to hear you iron out ideas with Moynihan but oh well.

Because he canтАЩt and therefore wonтАЩt explicitly and clearly defend or even state his ideas. So heтАЩll continue to scribble here, write his alternative histories, only speak to other friendly тАЬNazi curiousтАЭ hosts, while shouting тАЬthe media is out to get me!тАЭ. Go head to head with Moynihan as Noam offered. In good faith, as Noam offered. Many people would love to see you explain and redeem yourself. For your neo-Nazi fanboys or flat-earthers, this post is sufficient. But itтАЩs frankly a joke for any serious people who previously paid for your work.

Oh you get nervous and are тАЬbad at talkingтАЭ so slide into Holocaust denial? (yes, thatтАЩs what you did and you know better, which makes it even worse.).

The Nazis were just like a methтАЩd up dad who kills his family but itтАЩs kinda-sorta the police fault? And maybe if we would have just left them alone, they would have just rounded up all the Jews & Catholics into slave labor camps and maybe that would have been better, all things considered? At least we wouldnтАЩt have drag queen story hour today, right? Because many we should have rounded up all the Jews in the US as well?

Steve, the trope of hating on Winston Churchill is quite common among emigres from India residing in the USA, elsewhere in the West, perhaps in India. They use terms like mischling and allege (incorrectly) that the Third Reich's racial purity laws were such that 'only' Germans with both parents born as Jews (regardless of conversion) were exterminated, but that 'half-breed' and 'quarter-breed' Jews were merely denied civil rights, had all property confiscated, but allowed to live. They aren't Holocaust deniers per se but rather, don't seem to understand what the problem with it was.

Indian hatred of Churchill is based on the Bengal famine of 1943. Anticipating a Japanese-led invasion of British India via the eastern border of Bengal, the British military did what Stalin did in anticipation of the Germans as they fought through to Moscow.

The British implemented a pre-emptive, scorched-earth plan in Bengal to deny the anticipated Japanese and Burmese invaders access to food supplies and other resources. Indians weren't able to withstand this as well as Russians & Slavs; approx 2.5 million people of the Indian subcontinent died from the resulting famine. It wasn't that Russians were tougher but it was their country at war with Germany so they had more of a stake in it; India was a British colony, far from Britain's European war. (Millions of Russians and Slavs DID die of starvation and cold, and some never wanted to be conscripted as Commies to begin with, but we don't hear much about that.)

IMPORTANT POINT: Churchill wasn't remotely comparable to Hitler! The extent of the famine wasn't initially realized, and both Churchill and non-military, humanitarian powers (English nobility and landed gentry) DID take extraordinary measures, succeeding in getting mass supplies of grain and other foodstuffs to India in late 1943 and 1944.

Steve, Darryl, everyone else: I apologize for my lengthy comment.

I am no expert in 20th century history, merely a former IBM engineer then bank liquidity risk manager who got fired because of DEI. (Never contradict a Black woman even if she is wrong on a point of regulatory fact. After 2020, I learned that a white person's role is to be an ally and to elevate Voices of Color. And reparations.)

I have plenty of anger and horror about drag queen story hour, transgender children, and degenerate French postmodern 'queer' theory that has colonized our schools, government, and society. It is even condemned by Macron and as fringe 20th century lunacy that has disastrously taken hold in the USA!

I am fully aware that many Jewish intellectuals, attorneys, writers, and politicians (think Frankfurt School at Columbia University... ungh) and some Roman Catholics (shhh Jesuits) played a role in the current status of America. Yet what Darryl is doing, with his version of revisionist WW2 and the interwar period, is kind of disappointing.

If he wants to go after Winston Churchill from a contrarian PoV, Darryl might want to tell us about Rudolf Hess's night flight to Scotland to putatively end the war in May 1941. Or inform about that Famine of 1943 in India, so that his audience will realize that millions of Indians, not only Jews, died due to WW2. Although Indians weren't gassed to death in concentration camps...

Not sure what the goal here is really. Does Darryl want to finish up what the NSDAP started but in America today? He would have plenty of helpers on the left. They are VERY enthusiastic.

No way he touches this. DoesnтАЩt matter. The work and the pursuit will do the work of 10 interviews.

Lex Fridman is a terrible interviewer and I don't trust him.

For the interwar period (as pertains to your prior episode): I recommend reading something like this about Rudolf Hess's solo night flight from Bavaria to the Duke of Hamilton in Scotland, to make a peace proposal to Winston Churchill https://warfarehistorynetwork.com/article/rudolf-hesss-secret-scotland-visit-in-may-1941/ Molotov-Ribbentrop was still in effect.

Some of your readers might find the Unz website to be informative. Lots of comments are too awful for me but if you can get past that, and engage with authors and regulars, there are insights to be had. I'm being vague, as it is kind of notorious.
