Ford going back to its Nazi sympathizing roots.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 6 points 18 hours ago

Nazi complicitizing roots. They were active in helping nazis and their ilk. Too afraid of the commies and reform, they wanted to put fascists in charge in the US that would've ended up destroying them and or the prosperity that made them great in the first place.

Yup. Never buying another Ford.

Makes me think about getting rid of the one I have. But can't afford payments and not sure I can get enough sellit to buy something else without payments.

Getting rid of your current Ford won‘t make a huge difference except for when they still make money out if it.

Read an article a few years back. Apparently Fords are pretty cheap to repair but have a pretty bad track record for breaking.

Ford motor company keeping up it's proud traditions. For those that don't know, Henry Ford was a card carrying Nazi and was Hitler's personal hero.

And nothing bad happened to them, so they can do it blatantly now and in the future.

Part of his racist and antisemitic legacy includes the funding of square-dancing in American schools because he hated jazz and associated its creation with Jewish people.

That's sonofabitch is the reason we had to square dance in gym class!? The fuck, man.

This is the kinda shit we're talking about when we say things like square dancing in schools is inherently racist, because it fucking was, and this kinda shit shows up in nearly every aspect of daily Americana life.
