A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

"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?"

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 points 14 minutes ago

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.

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

Baby shark on repeat.

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.

Good thing they are arresting those scary antisemitic campus protesters.

Has the ADL responded to Elon yet?

Void, that was a great show

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 31 points 4 hours ago

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

Jon Lajoi was the bartender in the Necrogoblikon video for No one survives.

Make him go, then. The world is watching. (Assuming you are American)

Whoever Luigi’s Musk will be a legend.

At this point I'm thinking the only thing that's going to restore our image on the world stage is if we go full Londo when the Vorlons were moving in on Centauri Prime.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

Spoilers dude I'm on my fifth re-watch don't tell me what's gonna happen

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

The destruction of the island of Selini was one of the greatest things Londo ever did as Emperor. I get the feeling, it's also one of the only times he felt remorse at anything he had done, since he had to ask many Centauri to knowingly die to keep the illusion up. I'd like to believe that he gave Vir what Vir told Mr. Morden that he wanted from Mr. Morden as a form of penance.

What Vir wants from Mr. Morden.

Federal death penalty is still a thing and treason is a high felony.

Tesla tubby should be getting the rope for his crimes. With his assets nationalized as the apology for his disgusting behavior.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 10 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

He and his boytoy Trump needs to go the way of Mussolini. Shot, then publicly stoned, beaten, and strung up in a public square by his ankles. Though they could do without the shooting.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 3 points 3 hours ago

That's how traitors should be treated so other idiots don't get ideas.

I was taught to have zero tolerance when it comes to Nazism. If you don't deal with them, they'll deal with you...

There is an unmarked ditch/grave for all the nazi soldiers and sympathizers from WWII near where I live. There is always room for more.

ZERO TOLERANCE, motherfuckers!

In the same vein, Musk didn't make billions. Tesla workers did.

[–] halykthered@lemmy.ml 63 points 7 hours ago

Mussolini didn't string himself up from the service station, the enraged masses did.
