For the longest time I used to think Churchill was a hero. Mostly from dad singing his praises: having a tory there to help shape your values as a kid can really fuck you up.
The evidence against him though is so overwhelming that he’s a great case study of how much culture can distort reality. When you speak truth to well-intentioned liberals and they look at you like you’re telling them the sky is green, telling them about Churchill is a great way to prove how extensive the lying can be.
For sure, Churchill makes libs really uncomfortable because the atrocities he’s responsible for are just so extensive and well documented that it’s impossible to dismiss. And if such a deplorable sack of shit is a cultural icon in the west that really says a lot about western society as a whole.
