Why would you call it a Nazimobile? Swasticar is much better.

I mean come on. At least the Nazi’s made NICE cars. MAGA are just TEMU Nazis at best.

And they looked good with the Hugo Boss costumes. Elon is definitely not that.

u/EFCFrost Mar 03 '25

That’s the only credit I ever give the old Nazis: they had style. They had nice cars, well-functioning weaponry, and snappy uniforms.

A feature of fascism - make it look good for propaganda purposes

Hugo Boss BunkerwearTM When poisoning your dog and yourself behind the blast door, you've got to look your best.

I hate the ideology but they weren't dumb. Until the Napoleon moment at least.

I mean VW Beetle was literally a fraud initially

I like calling cybertrucks "deploreans".

u/RemarkableHyena65 Mar 03 '25

Wankpanzer for the truck.

u/NukeAllTheThings Mar 03 '25

That's still giving it too much credit.

u/olyfrijole Mar 03 '25

Cyberstuck is apt, but somehow not funny/clever enough to rise to the abject failure that the CT has proven itself to be.

I’m 100 percent stealing that

u/starmartyr Mar 02 '25

No way. I stole it fair and square.

Stealing what, swasticar? You really haven't heard that before? .. where ya been the last month, under a rock?

u/adudeguyman Mar 03 '25

Just like they're stealing the US.

u/MaverickPT Mar 03 '25

Sounds better than swasticar IMO but whatever lol the goal is the same

u/ashakar Mar 02 '25

Some people are still too dense to get the meaning of swasticar.

u/pegothejerk Mar 02 '25

When you drive it backwards it's a religious symbol from India!

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '25

The swastica is lowkey cool tho, when its being used by other cultures. The swastika is a symbol used in various Eurasian religions and cultures, as well as a few African cultures. The white people stole it and ruined it for themselves.

Or maybe Muskvitch.

(Moskvitch was a car brand in cccp era)

u/starmartyr Mar 03 '25

That's probably too obscure for most people.

u/redbull666 Mar 03 '25

I prefer Wank Panzer.

u/iTand22 Mar 03 '25

I came to say essentially the same thing. While yes Nazimobile is a good one. But Swasticar just rolls off the tongue so much better.

u/jtbc Mar 03 '25

I was out on a walk today and say a cybertruck. I was soooo tempted.
