Man, I'm hoping this will be some kind of revolution and that the taboo from the subject will be removed at least. He's correct in noting that Hitler didn't kill 6 million jews. Once you learn about that, and discover that Hitler was dragged into war and offered peace multiple times but was refused, the entire basis is removed for seeing the Nazis as a manifestation of pure evil. The lines between the artificial and real world have been blurred, that's why organic acts of courage are hard to distinguish from controlled opposition. Your view seems to be based on the perspective that West's actions were suicide, which is an underlying pessimism about the prospect of mass awakening. (Unless you believe that Hitler killed 6 million jews, that is, but then you're wrong.) Another way to look at it is that he's converting the fame he has amassed. He realized that he's one of the few people who can say these things for such a big audience.
