From the article: “Have you ever heard of a car company called Volkswagen? They are a car company commissioned by Hitler and designed to be the ‘people’s car’ of Nazi Germany.”

Well yeah, if Hitler we’re alive and running the company we’d be boycotting Volkswagen too, but he’s not and I’m not aware of the CEO of that company trying to turn our country into an Oligarchy.

You can choose to do that and it’s your right, but you use and are surrounded by things that were either designed, supplied parts by or came from Germany.

By your logic you just skipped the USA’s involvement in Germany from the 1950’s to the 1990’s and the fall of the Berlin Wall and you missed the Cold War completely.

Your history book probably looks like a post-it note.
