  And while Henry Ford is gone, the USA’s richest and most powerful industrialists are still Nazis.

    The wealthy and powerful are always attracted to fascism because fascist leaders always want their wealth and power behind the movement.

    It’s like how cults go after Hollywood celebrities or senile old rich people.

  Car manufacturers have some kind of hard on for Nazism. In the past we had Ford. Now we have Elon…

  There might be a relation to workers creating unions and their CEO’s love for Fascism.

    Pretty much every major global leader in industry has direct ties to Nazis.

    From 3m to vw to Bayer to your friendly frozen pizza brand Dr oetker.

  So, with this thought process most Germans are Nazis because of their ancestors?

    Inspections have been ordered at every German army barracks, after Nazi-era memorabilia was found at two of them. The move follows a growing scandal over far-right extremism within the army, with an officer accused of plotting an attack disguised as a Syrian refugee.

    Germans are Nazis because de-Nazification never really happened and high ranking members of the fascist government continued to occupy key rolls in government and industry long after the military’s collapse in 1945. Nazis were used as a bullwark against Soviet Communists in the 50s and 60s. Then they became pivotal as expendable Cold War mercenary units during the 70s and 80s, in Latin America and West Africa. Finally, the xenophobic rhetoric of the AfD has been instrumental in radicalizing Germans against Southern Europeans during the '00s European economic downturn and against war refugees following the invasion of Iraq and the bombings across North Africa, Syria/Lebanon, the border wars with Turkyie, and now the Russia/Ukraine conflict.

    Nazism isn’t an inherited trait, it is a tool of social control. German private media and business continue to see Nazism as a means of pitting the German working class against itself, its neighbors, and geopolitical its rivals. So Nazism continues to thrive within the German state, long after the tanks that rampaged across Europe in the 30s and 40s had ground to a halt.

      So you’re saying all Germans are Nazis?

        Some of them are, certainly.

    This is America…

    A corporation is a person, today’s Ford isn’t the descendant of 1938, it’s the same entity.

    So if you’re trying to simplify my thoughts process, it would be:

    Once a nazi, always a nazi

    There’s some shit you can’t make up for later in life. Not saying you can’t go on to do good things and help people, it’s just rare and will never make up for every past action.

    Someone that is truly reformed, won’t let them stop them from trying. Because they truly understand and are sorry.
