DENVER (AP) — A teenager suspected in a shooting attack at a suburban Denver high school that left two students in critical condition appeared fascinated with previous mass shootings including Columbine and expressed neo-Nazi views online, according to experts.
Since December, Desmond Holly, 16, had been active on an online forum where users watch videos of killings and violence, mixed in with content on white supremacism and antisemitism, the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism said in a report.
Holly shot himself following Wednesday’s shooting at Evergreen High School in Jefferson County. He died of his injuries. It is still unclear how he selected his victims. The county was also the scene of the 1999 Columbine High School massacre that killed 14 people.
Holly’s TikTok accounts contained white supremacist symbols, the ADL said, and the name of his most recent account included a reference to a popular white supremacist slogan. The account was unavailable Friday. TikTok said accounts associated with Holly had been banned.
Holly’s family could not be reached. The Associated Press left a message at a telephone number associated with the house that police searched after the shooting.
You believe the motives from the mouths of the nazi leaders? Reputable source of what happened to the unions? Socialist programs for who the nazis stole businesses from Jewish folks. I’ve show you evidence but you don’t care for it.
Listening to what someone says is the first step in understanding their motives. That’s not to say that you should just believe them off hand, but it is a useful data point. Disregarding that information would be an incredible disservice to your understanding of what was going on.
The unions got rolled up into the state. Many will say the unions got dissolved, which is kind of true, but misses the part where the state took control of them. The Decree of the Reich Government (May 19, 1933) makes this evident, the “Act on the Order of National Labor” (January 20, 1934) as well, the newspaper the Völkischer Beobachter, ran headlines on May 2 and 3, 1933, announcing the “coordination of the trade unions” and their incorporation into the new Nazi-led structure, and Richard J. Evans “The Coming of the Third Reich” takes about all this in depth.
You’re right, I don’t care for your evidence. The provided article was lazy and inaccurate.
Please show me a properly peer reviewed journal from historians who agree with you
I don’t subscribe to any peer reviewed history journals and I could talk at length about the corruption endemic to the peer review process, but if you are interested in well regarded historians that also make the case that the Nazis both stated and enacted state control of the means of production:
Hannah Arendt’s The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951) is a great souce and Carl Joachim Friedrich and Zbigniew Brzezinski’s book Totalitarian Dictatorship and Autocracy (1956) is another.
If you’d rather just look at the inarguable timeline of events regarding the unions and come to your own conclusion: May 2, 1933 - Nazi forces (SA and SS) occupy the offices of all free trade unions across Germany. Union leaders are arrested, beaten, and sent to concentration camps. Their funds and properties are confiscated.
Mid-May 1933 - The remaining, now Nazi-controlled, union structure is merged into the German Labor Front (DAF).
By Law (1934): The DAF is made the only legal organization representing workers and employers.
If you want to say that a misrepresentation of socialism or there are other key events that I’m overlooking, I’m more than willing to listen.
If your only requirement for something to be socialist is the government taking over “the means of production”, then the USA is also socialist, by your definition
Also, it’s not my definition of socialism. The American heritage dictionary - socialism: Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy.
The “system” of the nazis was not about “distributing” it was all about consolidating power.
Yes, the goal of socialism IS all about consolidating power. That’s the point. The Nazis were also in charge of distribution as well, hence all their food shortages they were suffering, just like the USSR.
The goal of socialism is to more evenly distribute resources, not about consolidating power. The food shortages were because of a war
Yes, aspects of the US government are socialist. This isn’t news. The most glaring example being the Central banks and Federal reserve.
Ah so now it’s aspects? No since the nazis nationalized businesses, as per you they were socialists. So is the USA
That’s not the gotcha you think it is. I was trying to be less provocative by saying ‘aspects’. I do think the USA is socialist.
I’m not surprised that you do to be honest, you got nazi Germany wrong so you getting the USA wrong tracks
