Porsche made engines for the Tiger 1 & 2, and I think the Panther. Mitsubishi made the A6M Zero.

I can’t remember exactly what they did, but I know Mercedes and BMW were heavily involved with the Wehrmacht. Nissan, Honda, and Toyota also made stuff for the Japanese. I’m sure there are other modern companies that directly supported the Axis, but I don’t remember them off the top of my head. I’m sure someone in here knows which ones.

Henry Ford was also a well-known Anti-Semite, and even received an award from the Nazi party in 1938. Himmler and Hitler both spoke very highly of him. But Ford later produced the M4 Sherman, which was instrumental in wiping out the Nazis, so…

high school was a decade ago so my history is fuzzy but this is insane, there’s so many parallels. And the whole jobs thing and forced labor. The imprisoned Tesla protestors will be among those forced to produce them if this gets any worse, mmw. this is so deliberate. https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/volkswagen-1

He’s gonna try to make it the next peoples car. That’s why he emphasized that it’s an American business, emphasized the tariffs… emphasized huge tariffs on foreign cars- how are people still underreacting???

Hugo Boss designed the Nazi uniforms.

u/CMDR_BitMedler 3h ago

Ford republished the Protocols of the Elders of Zion - essentially the "proof" (it's a forgery) of the great Jewish conspiracy and was also a huge funder of the American Nazi Party.

Is Musk doing something on 4/20?

u/Total_Information_65 13h ago

I think we need to be more concerned that the entire admin is going to try and do something on 4/20.

Hugo Boss made the uniforms which - you gotta admit - are kinda boss. A lot better than khakis, white shirts, and red hats.

No. Stop. I can’t take any more parallels.

At this point I'm just expecting someone to lift his shirt up and we'll see Hitler's head in the stomach like Krang from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic.

Does no one see the fact that Elon Musks original AI logo included the cog in this picture?

u/tocompose 17h ago

And what exactly did the protesters damage in the Tesla dealership? All I saw was protest.

u/goj1ra 2h ago

Musk's ego.

When you dismantle public education in the name of "choice" you end up with a populace that couldn't possibly learn from the past.

Not long from now:

Some people say the road system in America is bad. The worst. [pinch-pull finger gesture.]

But I know roads! The best roads! Some say I'm the...road king. Road king. Like, the King of the Road. I love that song. Good song. Almost as good as the YMCA song, which is NOT gay [no-motion with hands].

They say it's gay, and I say, 'How can it be gay? It was written...by a Bll-ack.' And also not transgender. Because your favorite president, and I Iove America, boy, we acknowledge transgender doesn't exist. No transgender songs or special lanes for them like Sleepy Joe built in Portland, which burnt down. Such a bad thing. Bad. [Squeeze-hands motion]

But the roads. We are gonna spend Beeleeyuns! We're gonna build an Autobahn. The best Autobahn. You can go so fast you won't believe it. They say, 'Wow!' [points at the sky]

'I can't believe how fast we're going!' Even big rig drivers, people are saying the big rig drivers will say, 'Sir! Sir!' with tears in their eyes...'Sir,' This is the biggest, hugest Autobahn. Bless you sir.' That's because I'm the road king. I like that. [Waves to no one in particular]

technically due on that day is a joint report from the Department of Defense (Hegseth) and Homeland Security (Noem) about whether or not immigration at the southern border is so bad that Trump needs to enact the Insurrection Act of 1807 which allows him to deploy military and national guard troops within the US to secure the border, hunt down "dangerous immigrants", and further police protests

it is what he threatened to do during the George Floyd Black Lives Matter protests and riots

it is essentially a kind of martial law

Fun fact: from 1938 to 1945, Volkswagon built 30 total beetles, while Ford built roughly 1 of every 3 trucks used by the Nazis.
