I've been reliably informed that, unlike Reddit, I can reply "Fuck Musk". I hope that's the case. If it isn't, still "Fuck Musk".

I've been under the impression that, unlike Reddit, I can upvote posts like this, so I did.

[–] Daelsky@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 hour ago

I’ve been under the impr-

FUCK YOU ELON MUSK YOU ARE A FUCKING DISGRACE AND A NAZI. I HOPE YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 6 points 54 minutes ago

We can also pray that people like Elon are met by someone like Luigi 🙏

Not really relevant to the POS Musk, but: it is interesting how few people were actually involved in murdering such a massive number of victims. The Treblinka death camp by itself, for example, was operated for 18 months by a staff that consisted at any one time of around 25 German officers and soldiers and around 100 local workers. Using only a salvaged diesel engine from a Soviet tank, they murdered approximately 900,000 people. Had German defeated the Soviet Union, they could certainly have exterminated the entire country had they so chosen (though the long-term plan was geared more towards enslavement).

As much as "I was just following orders" is not enough to excuse someone of their responsibility in atrocities, "I was just issuing orders" will not excuse anyone either.

Anyone who thinks that just because someone didn't pull the trigger, that means they're not guilty, you can get your ass back in line to lick elons boots.

This is in the same vein as "Hitler did some good things" kind of cognitive dissonance. While the statement may not be wholly false, the fact that anyone could overlook everything he did that was bad, to find some small piece of something he did that can be construed as "good" is simply trying to put an objectively evil person into a better light, when they do not deserve it.

There are plenty of misunderstood people in history that did very good things, and were killed/maimed/murdered/imprisoned/tarred/feathered/whatever, because they did something that the wrong people saw as bad.

Nobody should ever try to find a shining light of good deep down in the black abyss of Hitler's life.

Reminds me of a Brazilian advert for a magazine in the 90s. It started with some large black and white dots, slowly zooming out, and the narration went something like:

"This man was an artist. When he took power, his country was in a deep economic recession, but he brought prosperity back and made it home to some of the most important industrial companies still functioning today. To this day, many people look up to him. This man... (zoom out finishes) was Adolf Hitler.

It's possible to tell a lie telling only truths."

Hitler did some good things

FWIW I do think this is genuinely an entirely false statement. Usually, Hitler apologists will say either 1) Hitler rebuilt Germany's military, or 2) Hitler rebuilt Germany's economy, but neither thing is really true. Germany's military was largely rebuilt before Hitler's ascension in national politics - ironically enough, with the generous assistance of the Soviet Union. And Hitler didn't rebuild Germany's economy at all, he just ran things off of borrowed money and then did his level best to exterminate the people who had loaned it to him.

And not only did Hitler not do anything good, he ruined that fucking mustache for everybody for all time.

"Mr. Musk, you recently shared a post that mentioned the workers were the ones who killed people and not Hitler without elaboration. Do you believe that Hitler bears no responsibility?"

I am getting brain rot through his trash talk

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 25 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Musk needs to be strapped into a chair, "Clockwork Orange" style and forced to watch all 9 hours of "Shoah."

[–] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 8 points 2 hours ago

Baby shark on repeat.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 48 points 5 hours ago

Oh of course, if you fire all your public workers, you can't have a genocide because there's nobody to carry out your orders.

Silly fucking me.

I'm assuming we can look forward to all those cops and ICE agents being fired then.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 13 points 4 hours ago

Good thing they are arresting those scary antisemitic campus protesters.

Has the ADL responded to Elon yet?

Void, that was a great show

The most generous interpretation of this that I can give is, "if I ransack the government, the government won't be able to kill millions." Questionable logic.

The guy just enjoys adding to the number of times "Hitler" is said online.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 35 points 6 hours ago

It sounds like a pretty good argument for pushing back against the administration and not following orders.
