@augieray What's that even mean? Like it could be interpreted as "just following orders" is not a defensible excuse for murdering people, but it doesn't seem likely in that context. Elon is the one giving orders, here.

@Sibshops @augieray Context is definitely needed. If one of my friends said it, I'd know enough about their character to figure they are saying "we need to be ready to refuse an immoral order" or something to that effect. When Melon Husk retweets it, knowing his lack of character, I assume he's defending Hitler or excusing mass layoffs.

@Sibshops @augieray I think that he's trying to say that our government is filled with public sector Nazis? Maybe that all government bureaucracies get taken over by Nazis and drones that will do anything?

It's hard to say. It's actually a well known idea that's expressed often but it's in the context you are talking about. No, Hitler didn't act alone and could not have. There's a great book, "Hitler's willing executioners," that goes over some of this pertaining to the police forces.

@Sibshops @augieray
I honestly thought it was obvious? They believe government is always evil. Taxes are always evil. Government should not exist at all. Right-wing might-makes-right wannabe dictators crushing everyone else ruthlessly. Sociopaths. They usually think we're all like them deep down and just faking being decent caring people, and only they are brave enough to be out and proud sociopaths.
Typical libertarians.

@Sibshops @augieray
I think they're trying to say that public sector workers are the real villains as a way of justifying firing them. Funny how they're starting with the government workers who specialize in helping people while keeping the ones who are heavily armed and have a history of actually killing people.
