Uh, there wasn't a lack of Nazis in '90s. The US, under Truman, partnered with the Vatican to save over 10,000 Nazis from justice and brought them to the US, its territories, and its vassal states. It gave them fake names and official documents, money, jobs, property, and protection. Then the US staffed the first generation of NATO with Nazi officers, and together they organized Nazis and Nazi collaborators all over Europe in a covert operation to arm, fund, train, and prepare them for a resurgence. In West Germany, former Nazi politicians were openly elected and appointed into government positions, and it was so egregious that some Germans and Scandinavians turned to terrorism in protest. The USSR had to build a wall completely around West Berlin because it was a small little polity in the middle of East Germany that was literally electing Nazis to power.
They were 45 years after Operation Overcast and 30 years after Operation Paperclip officially ended. Which means Nazis got to regroup after having been defeated and cast into disarray by the USSR and spend 3 generations developing their program under the protection of the US military with the resources of the US economy.
He doesn't have to have intended to kill the guy to be criminally liable for his death. He was grossly negligent in his sustained use of a restraint technique with lethal capacity and callously unrelenting in the force applied, which was deemed excessive, even as the danger Floyd was in was apparent, and even then after he went still and no longer had a pulse. Whatever his intent, he murdered that man by two different legal definitions as the justice system concluded.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but Derek Chauvin himself pleaded guilty in federal court and admitted that he used excessive force.
Whatever the constitutionality or merits of his current effort to reduce or eliminate his federal sentence, that has absolutely nothing to do with his underlying murder conviction. Chauvin was convicted of murder in state court beyond a reasonable doubt, and he admitted his guilt. A subsequent challenge to his sentence does not erase, invalidate, or somehow put that conviction up for debate. Derek Chauvin is, and will remain, a convicted murderer.
And Elon Musk continues to prove, over and over again, that he may be the stupidest smart person I have ever seen in my life.
He's not smart! Holy shit why do people think he is a genius? I just don't understand, he didn't invent anything, doesn't design anything engineers are currently talking about having to walk him back because he's deadset on something catastrophically stupid.
Because you can hate the guy all you want but he's still smart enough to make himself untold fortunes. Neither you or me or the rest of the planet have been able to do something like that. Yes he did it in an underhanded immoral way but nevertheless.
The caveat with this asshole is that he's also dumb at the same time making him absolutely unique which is why I call him the dumbest smart person in the world.
He’s not a dumb smart person, he’s a dumb person’s interpretation of a smart person. He was just born with too much money to fail. The guy is stupid as fuck.
He didn't run PayPal. He swept in at the last moment with money just like he did with Tesla. The man is really good at taking credit for shit that he didn't do
Because the arsehole has the money to impose his views on others all over the world. Also hopefully making his name and associated companies dirt might actually start impacting his bottom line.
It’s very hard to overstate how much power this asshole’s wealth gives him. People joke about it all the time, but he is effectively above the law. For some reason, people equate his wealth with intelligence, so they listen to him. When the disagree with anything he says, that wealth/intelligence pops up and they assume he knows something they don’t.
He is an incredibly dangerous person. Especially so, given his obvious fascist and racist tendencies.
wealth is control, and people who have a lot of control and power should be closely monitored. ideally people should be prevented from having such exaggerated control, but you work with what you got i guess.
Depends on the facts, if you intend to kill someone it is murder and if you don't intend to kill someone it is doing something you didn't intended that left someone murdered because of you.
You’re trying to be sarcastic about how the media and bootlickers use the passive voice, right? “X murdered Y” vs. “Y died, X’s knee was in the vicinity.”
I think these other commenters are jumping to the wrong conclusion.
Yes, might be better to use /s behind it but i refuse to put it there only so people read beyond the first line. I dont care about downvotes, and some of those might come from people who read everything but did not understand my message, that could be my fault, but so many people start writing a comment or downvote something without even reading the whole thing. Those people lead lives full of emotions they gave themselves. They want to be angry about something and will fire at anyone who seems a valid target. People who jump to conclusion do really hurt themselves and especially their world view, because they only see what they want to see.
He looked dead inside when he was on George Floyd's neck for 9 and a half minutes. There's also better ways much better ways to restrain someone. There's two-point restrain methods and they could've done a four-point because there was two officers there, they could've held his legs and his arms, they could've shackled higls ankles and made him walk slowly to the vehicle; They could've done anything else.
They didn't have a reason to do a neck restraint. A neck restraint just isn't chill, unless the person is a terrorist then give em the neck knee.. 😋
You can deadly things without intent to murder someone. I didn't say he wasn't murdered. I'm taking the piss they consider intent 'a fact' that can be proven.
It has always worked before, if not race then sex, if not sex then nationality, if not nationality then religion, if not religion then age, if not age then social status, on and on ad naseum.
He continued to kneel on George's neck for several minutes after being told - by his fellow officers - that he had no pulse. He 100% intended for that man to die.

This is slander to space. Elon has never been there, and probably never will be. He's not associated with it at all, and if asked, space has dozens of planets as witnesses willing to corroborate this.
He's not a Space Nazi. He's a Rocket Nazi. Not even the Rocket Nazi (that'd be Wernher von Braun); just a wannabe hack.
"Space Nazi" affords him even the dubious accolade of getting to or enabling space travel.

Elon Musk only had to shut the fuck up and mind his business and he could’ve been the happiest, most successful, piece of shit drain on society alive. Instead, he’s a miserable little bitch whining online about a murder committed by an officer 6 years ago. Christ.
To prove your point I legit don’t know (based on your word I should say remember) who the dude is. Was this the Minnesota cop who shot the dude in the car while he still had his seat belt on? Or the dude who shot the kid for being new to his neighborhood (who we all found out after the fact stole a pack of skittles).
Keep in mind I stole a few candy bars when I was in high school. Kids do dumb shit, all kids do.
Or wait was this the main asshole cop that suffocated a dude in the middle of the street by laying his knee on the guys back?
Or was this The New York or New Jersey cop who suffocated a dude for selling cigarettes on the sidewalk?
Fuck….
When you list it all out from memory it’s fucked up. And I’m sure I’m still missing some.
You forgot the one where the police served an illegal no-knock warrant to the wrong house and kicked the door in causing the homeowner to fire a shot (rightfully) believing there were home intruders and his EMS worker girlfriend was murdered in the officer’s return fire. Can’t you think of the poor officers? It’s awfully hard to read a house number
...and how could it be bad to discuss those atrocious things that were said?
Yes, Twitter makes money from engagement, engagement is big business everywhere from bars to church to parks to online meeting places. Engagement is supremely important and valuable.
Human behavior is motivated by several functions, one of the most common being attention. Note that attention is not qualified or given adjectives. This is because behavioral research has shown for decades that attention is attention and serves to reinforce the behavior, thus increasing the likelihood that it continues
“Don’t feed the troll”, basically
Think about it, what does Elon (or anyone like him) get from posting nasty shit or doing hitler salutes? Notoriety. And what happens when you engage with this to label it as bad? Does he suffer? No, he is emboldened. Both financially (as you’ve mentioned) and through the function of attention based reinforcement. Someone telling you you’re a fucking piece of shit is still someone willing to give you the time of day.
However, this very basic concept is both apparently extremely difficult to understand as well as reliant on impulse control which is increasingly in short supply. Thus, we are doomed.
Trump can pardon Chauvin's federal conviction, but he can't do a damn thing about the Minnesota state conviction or the 22+ year sentence he's serving.
Lol at all the downvotes. You have to be careful on lemmy. 85% of users here read everything literally, no matter how obvious the sarcasm is. Most of them see your comment as a genuine defense of Elon. “Elon is not a muppet! We’ve seen him moving and talking independently without wires. He’s obviously an actual human with agency, so it’s not rude to criticize him.”

To prove your point I legit don’t know (based on your word I should say remember) who the dude is. Was this the Minnesota cop who shot the dude in the car while he still had his seat belt on? Or the dude who shot the kid for being new to his neighborhood (who we all found out after the fact stole a pack of skittles).
Keep in mind I stole a few candy bars when I was in high school. Kids do dumb shit, all kids do.
Or wait was this the main asshole cop that suffocated a dude in the middle of the street by laying his knee on the guys back?
Or was this The New York or New Jersey cop who suffocated a dude for selling cigarettes on the sidewalk?
Fuck….
When you list it all out from memory it’s fucked up. And I’m sure I’m still missing some.

You forgot the one where the police served an illegal no-knock warrant to the wrong house and kicked the door in causing the homeowner to fire a shot (rightfully) believing there were home intruders and his EMS worker girlfriend was murdered in the officer’s return fire. Can’t you think of the poor officers? It’s awfully hard to read a house number

“Why do people say such atrocious things” they wonder, as they endlessly reply, retweet, screenshot and spread to other social networks, etc

When have people not said atrocious things?
...and how could it be bad to discuss those atrocious things that were said?
Yes, Twitter makes money from engagement, engagement is big business everywhere from bars to church to parks to online meeting places. Engagement is supremely important and valuable.

yes exactly. Why do you think that is???
Human behavior is motivated by several functions, one of the most common being attention. Note that attention is not qualified or given adjectives. This is because behavioral research has shown for decades that attention is attention and serves to reinforce the behavior, thus increasing the likelihood that it continues
“Don’t feed the troll”, basically
Think about it, what does Elon (or anyone like him) get from posting nasty shit or doing hitler salutes? Notoriety. And what happens when you engage with this to label it as bad? Does he suffer? No, he is emboldened. Both financially (as you’ve mentioned) and through the function of attention based reinforcement. Someone telling you you’re a fucking piece of shit is still someone willing to give you the time of day.
However, this very basic concept is both apparently extremely difficult to understand as well as reliant on impulse control which is increasingly in short supply. Thus, we are doomed.

Since I don't stay updated on Trump and Musk's BFF status, is this just a ploy to get Grampy-Trump to pardon an obvious murderer?

Trump can pardon Chauvin's federal conviction, but he can't do a damn thing about the Minnesota state conviction or the 22+ year sentence he's serving.

Please stop being so rude. This is Trump’s and the Republican’s muppet. Don’t insult an inanimate object being played by someone else.

Lol at all the downvotes. You have to be careful on lemmy. 85% of users here read everything literally, no matter how obvious the sarcasm is. Most of them see your comment as a genuine defense of Elon. “Elon is not a muppet! We’ve seen him moving and talking independently without wires. He’s obviously an actual human with agency, so it’s not rude to criticize him.”

I have insider information why do you think Trump is always next to Musk? Without the remote control he can just put his hand up his ass.
