Dan Carlin's Hardcore History Addendum

[C-Mag]

That's bananas.

The Japanese killed themselves... before we could take them prisoner... for the most part.

It is an easier choice to make if you believe the Americans are going to treat prisoners the way your country does.

What's crazy is we pretty much let the Japs off the hook for War Crimes. Hell, the modern pussies got us apologizing for destroying the Evil bastards.

Well, Big Gladwell isn't gonna make money off reminding people that the Germans, Japanese, and Soviets did fucked up stuff. Not sexy enough.

Still, if a best selling author is telling people that US strategic bombing was better than what everyone else is doing.... I'm not going to complain too much. Better than Zinn or Chomsky style pacifism.

I didn't complain, I simply took issue with the assertions of it being an "insane crime"

in terms of the faint praise of "not guilty by reason of insanity", I dissented vigorously

most of the fight was with the DCF Woke mob anyways, it was they who were more upset than Carlin

Carlin was simply trying to have it both ways, he wanted to pander to his Woke mob and get away with it

I simply refused to go along with the rest of the forum, same as Trek & Strangelove, who also dissented

it was me Trek & Strangelove versus Carlin and his cronies

I wasn't around then, but I am sorry I missed it.

it was quite the epic flame war

one of the great highlights of the DCF, right thurr

what Carlin said to me was that he was afraid

Smitty-48 was influential, whipping up the right wingers online

Carlin was afraid a mob of right wingers would come after him

the White Supremacists I suppose, yeehaw

or if he sided with Smitty, then the Woke mob would turn on him

it was proto Woke, the Wokeness was already starting to sweep accross the internet

Carlin was already in fear of being cancelled, and Smitty was not helping by demanding that he side with the right

Yeah Carlin got pretty mad when Smitty started calling him Hanoi Dan Fonda. Lmao

Well, vigorous self-criticism is one of the features of the European enlightenment that makes it a superior way of viewing the world.

cruel

[Smitty-48]

in the end I called it off because the show was Dan's livelihood

he was afraid of being cancelled

if he got cancelled, he'd be broke

far be it from me to take food off another mans table, specially when he has two kids

and besides, I'd said my peace on it, I made all the points I set out to make

One of those "there go my people, I must follow for I am their leader" situations.

Supernova of the East has been Carlin’s best series yet, IMO
