Aktshually Article 20 subsection 4 of the German Basic Law gives me explicit leeway to shoot the Führer:
(4) All Germans shall have the right to resist any person seeking to abolish this constitutional order if no other remedy is available.
And on his birthday, too!
That is so fucking awesome honestly.
“Hey we had someone try this before, if they try again, you are to stop them by any means necessary.”
Turns out learning from mistakes and history works.
The wording includes an important caveat:
(4) Gegen jeden, der es unternimmt, diese Ordnung zu beseitigen, haben alle Deutschen das Recht zum Widerstand, wenn andere Abhilfe nicht möglich ist.
This roughly translates to
Every German has the right to resist those who seek to abolish this [free and democratic] order if no other means are sufficient.
The conservative politicians/judges have watered it down to the point where you can only violently resist them once democracy has already failed.
There’s no need to go around making actionable threats of violence that could be read out in a courtroom, that’s called fedposting. Try this on for size:
If the right keeps pushing, eventually someone’s probably going to feel like their back’s against the wall with no other recourse. For example, if there was, say, a national abortion ban, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone tried to kill the people responsible. Tragic, really, but that’s just the world we live in. Look, I want to do things peacefully, but if I can’t produce results that way, well, it’s not about me, it’s about what’s going to happen if other people lose confidence in my methods.
A prediction isn’t a threat. I’m allowed to speculate about other people doing stuff, aren’t I? Some historical orgs spoke that way, and their predictions could be eerily accurate.
I actually like the idea of giving both Donald Duck and Elon Musty a bunch of laxatives and having them fight over one small bathroom.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk should be assassinated ☺️ 😍 😋 🤪 😇
Wow, just being able to say that when inciting violence is banned on most other social media felt empowering. I know to y’all this probably comes off as just another basic one-liner comment, but… I’ve only recently started using Lemmy when I used to just browse Reddit without an account. There were times when I almost felt crazy, because I felt so much rage against these rapist scum I thought- given the opportunity- I would end their lives in an instant, consequences be damned. But on Reddit where any talk of violence (against the state) is banned (but violence via political persecution of minorities is A-OK!), I thought I was just a radical extremist.
And maybe I am a radical extremist, Lemmy as a whole is certainly small enough to be an echo chamber, but in a time where peaceful protest does nothing but paint a target on your back, free speech by necessity needs to include ushering people to make use of “the 4th box of liberty,” the cartridge box. By god does it feel good to finally be able to say that.
I saw shit like THIS all over my town:
They go low, we go low.
When they go low, start stomping the fuckers
They wanna be the bar set in hell let’s ensure they go there faster than usual. My grandfather helped them, I’d be happy to continue the family linage of “making them find out after fucking around.”
Don’t go low, go center mass.
You can even say things like “someone should put a heavy duty zip tie round JD vance’s neck and then leave him to choke in a rest stop toilet”. Or “someone should put powdered death cap mushrooms in Donald Trumps food”.
Where can I report that my dead grandad was advocating violence on Juno beach in 1944?
freeze peach patriots
“You know how a popular time travel question is, if you could go back and kill Hitler, would you? People are going to be asking the same about Trump and Musk (and Vance and Thiel and a whole mess of others) if the dust ever settles.”
The dust always settles eventually.
Just that it may be radioactive dust this time
And that’s the big thing that worries me. In the last world war, even in an all-out war with no holding back, there was a limited amount of damage that could be done to the world and civilization. Today? We have enough nukes to destroy human civilization a dozen times over.
Go back and make sure everyone involved in Teapot Dome scandal actually get arrested and charged.
Teapot Dome, Business plot, Watergate, Iran-Contra, and never end reconstitution on the south.
Trump leads to an independent and united Europe
Lmfao, do you live under a fucking rock?
Fascist parties have been gaining power all over Europe (and elsewhere) for ages, and have gotten significantly emboldened and actively backed by him since he became
presidentwhatever his dictatorial title will end up being.Check the username. Also, Western Europe (excluding Britain) is taking this threat pretty seriously if you follow current affairs.
Western Europe (excluding Britain) is taking this threat pretty seriously
What an odd exclusion to make… The government might not be taking it seriously, but most others aren’t either (and why would they? they serve capitalism, not society). Plenty of the people here (in Britain, in case it wasn’t clear) are just as concerned as the rest of Europe (and the world)…
Bleak when only a time traveler from the future can save the world from impending doom at this point.
RIP King.
Just going to leave this here
This is the argument I get in with people in my life. Even my significant other is starting to fall into this trap that “they can’t hold up cabinet selection” due to some misguided notion that holding your nose and being respectful is necessary. I blame coworkers and not wanting to think about something that stresses them out. It is maddening.
Thank you for linking the paper.
Me getting banned from asklemmy there for just saying Luigi
Lemmy.world isn’t even based in the US 💀
I unsubbed from everything over there except for Working Class Calendar and Work Reform. Normies that are still normies in 2025 making me irrationally angry.
Yup. We’re in an extra normal time and people are still clutching to decorum and civility as if it matters anymore.
The Fuhrer shot himself, if I recall. Not that I wouldn’t go back in time to shoot him again.
Shoot him earlier, before he killed all those people.
Wouldn’t change anything, he only joined an already existing movement and became its leader, but without him it’d simply have been someone else.
Start at the peace treaties after ww1, already make them similar to the ones after ww2 (promoting strong European collaboration to ensure peace instead of punishing the losers).
Shoot the next one too
It didn’t take me long to realize blocking that instance was a good idea. I didn’t know about lemmygrad and hexbear (which federated) until someone from lemmy.world pointed out another user was “brigading”, and looking up how lemmy.world eventually blocked that instance the feeling I have towards lemmy.world is that they act like the “world police” of the lemmy-verse.
are there any examples of this?
Oh my God that was the same person!? Who had all that drama and who can’t write to save their life?
Jaysus!
And they feel zero remorse!? I’m genuinely shocked and appalled!
Damn, I switched communities to have a local argument (and I remembered I had an account here), but after seeing how us-centric dotworld has become when the account view changed, I’m not switching back.
that looks like a fun comm. to be padantic luigi didnt neccessarly kill a head of state just was just a ceo
To be pedantic, it’s spelled pedantic.
In the US it’s the same thing.
Is it illegal where their instance is located?
Who cares? Have balls about your tiny and insignificant website, you’re not gonna get jailed because some user posted something on your lemmy instance
Just a shield for their shite opinions
I care. That’s why i asked. It’s interesting to see how other places differ from my own. Interesting that irritated you so easily.
nah, click bait question (the meme establishes it’s illegal). You then turn into instigating an argument, “Have balls” means have courage, you added a tone of irritation I assume to establish @[email protected] as a perceived target you wanted to argue with.
If you just cared, you would’ve just had
I care. That’s why i asked. It’s interesting to see how other places differ from my own.
done, finite. But then the little troll comes out
Interesting that irritated you so easily.
So were the statements from gamer triggering to you or were you just looking for an argument already?
Neither. Just a typical internet convo.
lol that’s fair.
Interesting that irritated you so easily.
Fun y that you think I’m irritated
Sure buddy, sure.
Why would your comment irritate me at all, homie? Or do you just see someone saying anything with conviction as being emotionally riled up because you’re too much of a milquetoast coward to have any yourself?
Literally relaxing in a hot bath of Epsom salts rn, relaxed and chill as could be
Great story. Riveting.
Oh no, it’s retarded
