Pet Marco Rubio 😂

That was the moment he got enough XP to change classes from Space Karen to Space Nazi.

Not to mention the dozens of witnesses screaming at Chauvin to get off Floyd's neck because he couldn't breathe.

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.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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.

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 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.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

Didn't some of the testimony include that they'd had beef since high school?

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago

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.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Not a "space" Nazi. Just a very rich and powerful one.

What did we used to do to rich and powerful Nazis? Because keeping those around seems like a problem for everybody.

[–] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 11 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Give them high paying jobs in the defense industry, NASA, and NATO.

Jail all billionaires. You can't be that rich without being a thief. You've stolen wages from the people.

Still real sad. This is the Space Nazis I was promised. And instead we get ~gestures at the blob of putrid waste that is Musk~

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 33 points 5 days ago (7 children)

I mean......maybe we just shouldn't have nazis at all? I know my deceased purple heart WWII normandy beach storming grandfather would have prefered that outcome. In fact in the 90s, he was quite proud of the lack of nazis due to his and everyones combined efforts in the 1940s.

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 34 points 5 days ago (6 children)

I take it you haven't seen the movie....

spoilerThe blonde on the pic was raised by Nazis on a moon base. She meets the black guy, realizes she's been indoctrinated into a terrible regime and helps kill the fuhrer

It's very much a tongue in cheek comedy movie mocking Nazis.

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.

All these months later and I still can't believe someone Nazi saluted at the US presidential inauguration. Absolutely wild.

And then a few months after that the US gave him trillions of dollars. Just wow!

I distinctly remember when that video popped up on reddit.

My reaction was "i just watched a murder."

It was very clear in the moment, nothing has changed that.

[–] EmptyAsparagus@piefed.social 30 points 5 days ago (7 children)

why do we care about the space nazi? his views are bad every single time, its getting tiresome.

[–] Prior_Industry@lemmy.world 28 points 5 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] ClownStatue@piefed.social 12 points 5 days ago

^^^THIS RIGHT HERE! ^^^

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.

Because he's the richest man in the world and because his reckless shenanigans have caused massive loss of life.

It's a situation that really warrants help from a plumber's brother.

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.

The father of all lies. I have seen no one that lies as much as him and these AI bros. They should be deported to Mars. They do not deserve to live on Earth

Deported to mars without a space suit

Oh boy, the Nazi that is now suing a US state over them trying to stop AI from generating CSAM has a bad take? Shocked.

The same state that actually showed Derek Chauvin some actual consequences for once in his life.

Minnesota is kinda awesome if you can overlook the continued existence of MPD.

"Space Nazi" affords him even the dubious accolade of getting to or enabling space travel.

Just call him a Nepo Nazi, as he is. Highlights the only thing he's achieved: getting ahead based on being raised with "South African emerald mine" money.

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.
