Why does that sound familiar? What does that remind me of?
History rhymes.
It's really the same shit over and over again because people can't be assed to pick up a history book
What a dumb fucking thought.
Hitler probably personally murdered his niece, Geli Raubal
And he murdered many a canvas.

It's a bit of a weird take.
They wouldn't really public sector workers they were goons who were loyal/prepared to follow orders put in governmental positions.
The brown shirts weren't even that they were just convenient thugs.
As someone else pointed out, I think the point of the person who originally posted it may have essentially been your point, with parallels of course to today's situation.
But the Elon retweet only makes sense with a nearly opposite twist, that this somehow justifies what Doge is doing right now and all the firings coming from that, or that he's acknowledging that he's building such a cadre of empowered goons.
It's weird, there's no doubt, but that retweet sits somewhere on the spectrum between creepy and terrifying.
