For the record, Douglas Murray is 100% wrong to claim that Hitler never downplayed antisemitism to maximize his power. Confirming Martyr Made's position are the two MOST prominent Hitler biographers, John Toland and Ian Kershaw, both of whom noted this in their respective works.

Don't take my word for it though, read Toland and Kershaw's books, or even this Grok summary of their views on the subject:

Both men held that Hitler did in fact go through periods where he downplayed antisemitism for political gain, and that point hasn't been particularly controversial among historians. It was only recently that this was used as fuel in an attempt to wreck @martyrmade's reputation.

In addition to Toland and Kershaw, historians Richard Evans, Allan Bullock, and Saul Friedländer have also argued that Hitler employed his antisemitism pragmatically as a tool to gain power and maximize electoral successes.

As far as I can tell, none of these five historians argue that Hitler wasn't antisemitic, but simply that he applied antisemitic rhetoric pragmatically when the situation suited his ascent to power. I haven't read the others, but Toland and Kershaw certainly believed that.

@martyrmade Dude, I'm not even at 10 minutes in yet and Douglas Murray is trying to portray Joe Rogan as the purveyor of misinformation with his guests. What is this?

@martyrmade It took him only 1 minute to go full woke.

@martyrmade Douglas Murray should not be taken seriously by anyone who believes in intellectual honesty.

@martyrmade Certainly not on this topic, at the very least.

@martyrmade Murray saw Sam Harris and said: "why not me too?"

@martyrmade Exactly this.
