Looks like someone is trying to muddy definitions.

"Carbon Monoxide is deadly, you can't tell me Carbon Dioxide is any different!"

Just because things have a similar name doesn't mean they're the same thing...

CO2 absolutely will kill you though, it's just not as bad as CO

[–] Acedelgado@artemis.camp 2 points 1 year ago

Oh stop pulling an OP. Unnaturally high levels of CO2 can be dangerous after long term exposure - hours in an industrial environment that already has a bunch of other crap in the air. Carbon Monoxide from your home furnace at high levels knocks you out and kills you in 30 minutes. Still not the same.

Is this the point where Qi would go "Hitler wasn't all that bad"?

[–] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

I don't have the mental energy to deal with gaslighting today.

Jesus, stop being dumb. Socialist and National Socialist are on the complete opposite ends of the political spectrum. The first is left, the second is far right.

[–] Promethilaus@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

Yeah lol national socialism is only called that because Hitler wanted to appeal to different demographics in reality its just fascism lol

[–] TurtleJoe@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

OP is saying that emoji is a Nazi.

They start with Elon saying, "I'm a socialist, but I don't believe in any socialist things."

Then they point out that the Nazis also called themselves socialist, but weren't.

That was what I was thinking when making this meme. Like any political meme post the comment section is full of people misunderstanding it.

edit: I guess this is what I get for making something that forces people to think for themselves imao

Well I appreciate you. As does everyone who knows what's up, and maybe a couple more people will learn what's up as a result.

What‽ There is no way that they would lie. I guess you also think the Democratic People's Republic of Korea isn't very democratic.

20 years ago this might have been funny because of how ridiculous sounding it is. But since we're now living this it's not funny anymore

Are you implying that musk is a nazi or that socialism and nazi brand fascism are equitable because I genuinely cannot tell but I'm assuming it's the former out of politeness

[–] SeeMinusMinus@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am indeed implying that elon musk is a nazi and I don't believe in horseshoe theory.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Just making sure, glad we are in agreement

There's a difference between socialism and national socialism (which is not socialism), you unable-to-research imbecile.

Ignoring that, it's known that he has unbanned anti-Semitic accounts because they "don't violate Twitter's ToS", so I guess you did come to the right conclusion in the end.

[–] SeeMinusMinus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Everyone here just claims I don't know the difference between socialists and fascists that want a nicer looking label. I make memes to make fun of people like elon musk. The memes someone makes really doesn't tell you much about them. Did you click on the meme thinking you would see a outline of what I believe in?

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

OP this is the dumbest shit.
