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

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 43 points 6 months 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.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 2 points 6 months ago

Unfortunately, there's a lot of people out there missing half their brain.

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.

[–] seejur@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Tbh they had the ribbentrop pact, but with friends like Hitler who needs enemies

[–] djsp@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Your comment has been downvoted three times as I write this even though the pact between the Soviet Union and the Third Reich you refer to did exist. That's an impressive word-to-tankie-anger ratio you managed there. Good job!

[–] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

This is very true.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 60 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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!

[–] DankOfAmerica@reddthat.com 47 points 5 months ago (3 children)

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.

[–] AccountMaker@slrpnk.net 13 points 5 months 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

[–] kuato@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Yes, first they came for the communists. Martin Niemöller’s poem poem didn’t come from nowhere.

The “Comintern” in the “Anti-Comintern Pact” is short for “Communist International.” The Axis powers were anti-communist, as fascists always are.

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

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

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.

[–] adhdplantdev@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

Wow didn't see this connection before. Fucking hate Muskrat

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 37 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Hitler killed communists

Hitler killed Hitler

Therefore, Hitler = communists

Checkmate, liberals 😎

[–] Sarmyth@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

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

When you're further right than Hitler but whine that people call you a Nazi....

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

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

[–] Dogiedog64@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months 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.

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 5 months ago

2 nazis trying to rewrite history

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 26 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] drolex@sopuli.xyz 26 points 6 months 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.

[–] skvlp@lemm.ee 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] drolex@sopuli.xyz 8 points 5 months 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).

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 25 points 6 months ago

Yes, and everyone else agrees

That they're both morons

Fuck, this is so scary

[–] SpicyLizards@reddthat.com 21 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's funny how shitler comes up in their convos...

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I accept Xitler as an alternative spelling to keep up with the trends.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 19 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Zementid@feddit.nl 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months 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.

Known hip-hop expert Lil Wayne and my toaster agree: “2 plus 2 equals a hug and maybe a pepperoni pizza”

That musk tweet claiming he is a socialist is just nauseating

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 months ago

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

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months 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.

[–] uis@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

Is that German Leader an artist or USSA citizen?
