The man who “accidentally” threw two Nazi salutes at a rally recently retweeted someone who claimed Stalin, Mao, and Hitler didn't murder millions--their government employees did.

These are the people running our government, in case you want to know what's ahead.

@augieray What's that even mean? Like it could be interpreted as "just following orders" is not a defensible excuse for murdering people, but it doesn't seem likely in that context. Elon is the one giving orders, here.

@Sibshops @augieray I think that he's trying to say that our government is filled with public sector Nazis? Maybe that all government bureaucracies get taken over by Nazis and drones that will do anything?

It's hard to say. It's actually a well known idea that's expressed often but it's in the context you are talking about. No, Hitler didn't act alone and could not have. There's a great book, "Hitler's willing executioners," that goes over some of this pertaining to the police forces.
