Everyone with half a brain agrees Musk and the far right German leader are wankers.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 3 weeks ago

Hey! Whoa! That's NOT true!

I lost my whole mind, and I STILL agree! It's so obvious, even an idiot like me can see.

Fuck, someone should have let Hitler know before Leningrad. Could have saved a lot of time, energy, cost, lives, etc.

He and Stalin could have been frens.

Lol, Hitler literally got his start telling his gangs to go beat the shit out of communists.

Revisionist history much?

Hitler's mind, communism was a major enemy of Germany, an enemy he often mentions in Mein Kampf. During the trial for his involvement in the Beer Hall Putsch, Hitler claimed that his singular goal was to assist the German government in "fighting Marxism".[138]Marxism, Bolshevism, and communism were interchangeable terms for Hitler as evidenced by their use in Mein Kampf:

In the years 1913 and 1914 I expressed my opinion for the first time in various circles, some of which are now members of the National Socialist Movement, that the problem of how the future of the German nation can be secured is the problem of how Marxism can be exterminated.[139]

Trump, as an avid reader of Mein Kampf, will no doubt set them straight!

Wasn't one of the first groups that Hitler went after when he gained power were the communists? I'm pretty sure I remember that communists were sent to concentration camps along with Jews, disabled people, and LGBT.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 weeks ago

It's not only that they sent communists to concetration camps, they opened the camps in the first place in order to have a place where to put them all

Just because the Nazis called themselves the "national socialist party" did NOT make them communists. They called themselves that to attract naive revolutionary idiots who thought the government would help them. But they were always fascists.

North Korea calls itself "The People's Democratic Republic of North Korea" even though is not the People's, not Democratic, and definitely not a Republic. It's a marketing gimmick by the government to pretend that it's something it isn't.

Freedom without socialism is privilege and injustice; socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality; socialism without redistribution is a tyrant trying to trick you

Thank you, this was the information I was looking for. I knew that the Nazi party was named as such but didn't understand the implications.

Hitler killed communists

Hitler killed Hitler

Therefore, Hitler = communists

Checkmate, liberals 😎

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

You know what... that math checks out. Approved!

So this is what it feels like to live in bizarro world.

The current reality timeline I am living in is a mf comedyshow.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

It's because the idiots ran up on stage, built a wall out of their own shit, and started screaming into the mic. And they get away with it because they own the venue and locked the doors, all the while thinking people love them for it.

2 nazis trying to rewrite history

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

So that whole schism between Russia and Germany had nothing to do with ideology. Now I understand. /s

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nothing to do at all! Since Hitler was a communist and the USSR were nazis. Which are bad, of course. Unlike my good AfD friend who is not a nazi of course, but is a nazi, in a good way I mean. But not a communist nazi. A nazi-nazi, but again we can't say that but it's good.

Anyway words have no meaning whatsoever.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

A nazi-nazi, but not a Soviet nazi-nazi?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago

Yes you get it, my good Sturmstaffel friend (as a joke of course, not the evil kind, the funny kind that killed Jews, but for the lols).

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 weeks ago

Yes, and everyone else agrees

That they're both morons

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 weeks ago

Fuck, this is so scary

Those people are so dumb that they're turning against their own idols. Next thing you know they're gonna be saying Mussolini was never involved in WWII nor right leaning because of how much of a disgrace he was. Can't have people who failed at being a terroristic right wing dictator in their revisionist history books.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

They are not dumb, just evil.

Weidel is a lesbian living in swiss with her Thai wife and 2 adopted children.

In Germany she wants to prohibit gay marriage or any other form of family other than nuclear and hates migrants.

I have no idea who pays her but this is a level of cognitive dissonance only explainable with hardcore corruption.

That musk tweet claiming he is a socialist is just nauseating

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, we’ve known Musk is an utter moron for years now. He doesn’t need to keep proving it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

Greatest good would be to deny Musk govt-welfare

Even more than ethnic supremacy/hatred, nazi ideology is anti-communist first. The intersection with Jews at the time was that European communist leaders were Jews, and the communist party was leading opposition party before Reichstag fire provided the opportunity to ban them. Jews tended to not vote for nazi party.

In anti-communist/right wing rulership systems, the government helps business be richer and more powerful. This was definitely the system/dynamic under Hitler, and US imprisoned many German business leaders for a short time after the war until their own anti-communist ideology was aligned with their values.

Eh, three arrows isn't really a good source either. Being against Socialism/Communism (one of the arrows in the 3) is a big red flag for attacking claims of Nazis being Socialist. A much better source would be Blackshirts and Reds by Dr. Michael Parenti.
