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.
...gulp...Musk is now a public sector worker... how many will he kill?
@augieray It's obvious that Alice has very little grasp of nuance or history - and that's being generous.
Yes, public sector workers were the sharp end of the stick doing damage in those regimes.
They were sent to do their horrible tasks by lackeys installed by the leaders of those regimes, and the captains of industry that went along for the ride profited.
Sound familiar?
And of course, sometimes people like Alice found themselves looking at a pointy stick and were surprised.
@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.
I'm with you, and I do consider myself a _reasonably_ intelligent human being. I think this is ambiguous at best unless the author has since provided additional information.
When I first saw it, with no context or criticism around it, I took it to mean that the people working for and supporting these thugs need to be mindful that they may end up being the ones doing the bad and end up in front of the ICC or the likes.
Edit: Though to be fair, when I first saw it, it either didn't include the bit about Musk retweeting it, or I didn't see that part.
From the guy who is working night and day to reshape the government into something capable of murdering more of its own citizens … sounds like a warning.
@Robo105 @augieray I would actually hold them more accountable, yeah.
I think maybe Trump is barely there. Anyone involved can say, "no."
His goons and the people who voted for him, quite frankly. Without them Trump is some crazy little bitch crying screaming about people eating cats and dogs. Shitting and pissing himself. Just like now, except unable to do any damage.
In this case, the gun can say, "No!" In fact, it might be the only part of the situation that can.
@augieray The irony is, these people are leading a cultural revolution much like Stalin and Mao did.
And the carnage may yet arrive for USA as it did for the Russian and Chinese educated peoples.
@augieray The leader could then say: Ich habe es nicht getan. The people could say: Ich habe es nicht gewusst.
😱
oh shut up, shut up, shut uuuuuuup. What a toss pot. 🤬🤬
@augieray So is he arguing that government employees should disobey his orders? That "only giving orders" is the new defense?
I'm confused!
This is insufferable. This fraud needs to be locked now.
@augieray this is a true statement to begin with*, but perverted into 'anti public-sector' propaganda.
As Musk likes to read it, "public sector" kills people and therefore it has to be abolished as being the true source of evil. Hitler, Stalin, Mao were innocent victims of the public sector.
* the 'true' part: After WW2, germans were very quick to say "oh, that? That wasn't us, that was Hitler" Or: "That was not germans, but the Nazis" Or: "I just followed orders, nothing wrong with that, eh?"
