Are they the same morons that say Hitler was an atheist, despite him repeatedly quoting the Bible and the SS having "God is with us" on their uniforms? 🤔

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

people can agree on whatever they want to. However facts say these two are fucken morons because facts say something entirely different about hitler.
"I am so far right that compared to me Hitler was a communist" FTFY Elon
they know this isn't true but they also know it works to say it
I love it when folks are so stupid that they're ignorant of how stupid they are.
Some guy saying that in a pub is ignorant. The leader of a Nazi political party knows exactly what they're doing.
This, though.
The takeaway from this is not "OMG Musc + the new Natsis = stoopid! D:".
It's "Musk and the AfD are lying sons of bitches.".
Musk is a pub bore
He may be as dumb as one, but he's more of an oligarch.
They are not ignorant. They know exactly what they’re doing.
They can agree as much as they want. They can agree to suck each other's cocks too.That doesn't change the facts. Stupid people remain stupid people.Populism remains populism Stop listening to them.
Americans: "Hitler was a communist."
BuT tHe PaRtY hAs SoShUlLiSt iN iTs NaMe So It MuSt Be TrUe A nAzI wOuLdN't LiE
Americans: "Hitler wasn't all bad. Sure, he killed some people but not as many as people say. He helped save the economy and even loved animals and children"
If Hitler is communist then the Nazi party is communist.
If the nazi party is communist then nazis and supporter of the nazi ideology are communists.
The far right is comprised majorly of nazis and supporters of nazi ideology, then the far right is communist.
The far right has Trump as a leader and have an ideology similar to their supporters, then… Trump is communist.
America, you know what to do with those commies.
Brilliant 👏
Saving for future use.
If those people could follow logical trains of thought, we wouldn't have any of these problems in the first place.
Red scare, don't let me down now!
Just wait till you find out what color MAGA hats are!
Breaking: self proclaimed genius is, in fact, an idiot.
Or a liar. Remember: in real life, people can, in fact, lie.

Is this the whole "Nazis were socialists because it's in the name" thing again? The far right love to pull this point out, ignoring the fact that as soon as he had power, Hitler had anyone remotely socialist in the Nazi party murdered so he could get on with the fascism. The name "National Socialist" was a trick to get people on board. Anyway, it figures that Musk thinks Hitler was too left wing, since Musk thinks the whole universe is too left wing. And it's characteristic of Musk that being to the right of Hitler doesn't even give him pause.
North Korea is a thriving democracy; it’s right in the name!
So Venezuela is in fact, Bolivia?

Sort of. Hitler didn't found the party, he joined it as a mole in order to spy on it for the military. He ended up doing a lot more than most moles, eventually taking it over and expelling the more socialist (though still racist) founders.
Hitler hated socialists and tried to change the name as soon as he took over, but was convinced to keep the name because it had become a popular brand.
The Axis alliance between Italy Germany and Japan was literally formed as an anti-communist alliance.

Funniest are people quoting Goebbels who said something like that...
Like... Bruh.... You are falling for the tricks of the minister of propaganda of the Deutsches Reich of 1940 in 2025...
Communists were literally one of the first groups targeted for arrest when Hitler came to power in 1933. Like 10 seconds on google.
Oh, so now Stalin is a communist?
Elon does not read... or at least pay attention to what he reads.
He also apparently does not watch movies.
I think it's very possible that he doesn't actually believe this, but instead wishes that his fans, who are always so eager to kiss his ass do, since in the eyes of most people, Hitler was the most horrible person to ever exist, and if Hitler was a communist that'd mean that communists are horrible people.
On the other hand, Muskrat is so stupid that him honestly believing this isn't impossible.

Breaking: Fascists are fucking stupid, more news at 11.
Stupid, or liars. Remember, that is always an option.
Not like it really matters. A lot of self proclaimed communists on the fediverse actively supported Trump, such as ML and Hexbear.
If nobody agrees what or who communism is then it gets used to describe anything and everything.
Yes because that's thing thing we care about, not that he was also a mass murdering fuckhead.
Consider the martyr Luigi in these troubled times.
The problem isn’t the Elon and co say this. It’s the middle ground people who, for the most part, are reasonable but have little education about politics, and don’t want to participate beyond soundbites.
In this case, the phrase works on two levels.
Most of these people would admit Hitler was bad. So, this reaffirms the statement Communism is bad. Even if they don’t know what Communism is.
For others, Communism is bad. This allows them to hear “We’re not like Hitler” about Elon and Co. They have no idea how bad Elon and Co may be, but at least their not commie pinkos.
The real genius of capitalists has been to persuade the electorate that there are no viable alternatives to capitalism.
Ahh so elon is now publicly declaring he doesn't know what he is talking about.

Fucking idiots. Does it mean that Trump is a communist?
Oh yes. In the early 1900s Nazis waged openly violent political gang war against the communists out of love and similar views.
