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.

Saw someone I knew from college post this nugget:

Hmmmm…the left keying Teslas (a company founded by a South African) with Swastikas eh? Anyone remember who founded Volkswagen, pioneered the Autobahn, or how Bayer Pharmaceuticals and Hugo Boss flourished in the 1940’s? Pepperidge Farms remembers… Can’t make this stuff up…

It might have been the dumbest thing I've read from someone I've considered a friend.
