- They all first purged the federal government, then replaced them with loyalist extremists, then the military and brown shirts killed millions of people… - Why does that sound familiar? What does that remind me of? - History rhymes. - It’s really the same shit over and over again because people can’t be assed to pick up a history book 
 
 
- What a dumb fucking thought. 
- Hitler probably personally murdered his niece, Geli Raubal - And he murdered many a canvas. - and that style of mousetash 
 
 
- It’s a bit of a weird take. - They wouldn’t really public sector workers they were goons who were loyal/prepared to follow orders put in governmental positions. - The brown shirts weren’t even that they were just convenient thugs. - As someone else pointed out, I think the point of the person who originally posted it may have essentially been your point, with parallels of course to today’s situation. - But the Elon retweet only makes sense with a nearly opposite twist, that this somehow justifies what Doge is doing right now and all the firings coming from that, or that he’s acknowledging that he’s building such a cadre of empowered goons. - It’s weird, there’s no doubt, but that retweet sits somewhere on the spectrum between creepy and terrifying.
