Remember kids, Volkswagen is just a bunch of criminals with a long history of fascist compliance and fraud ❤️
never. buy. VW.
Umm… After helping destroy it?! The Volkswagen plant was opened by Hitler in 1938 and running on slave work from more than 20,000 forced laborers and KZ-prisoners, many of whom found their gruesome deaths on the site. Until the end of the war, over 60,000 VWs were produced solely for war purposes - Hitler had promised the German masses a cheap civil vehicle but the VW’s main advantage was that it could easily be modified as a military vehicle. Only 630 civil VWs were produced during wartime - for leading NSDAP officials. Please tell the entire story.
Would you not say this if they changed their name?
(And its not like other brands weren’t forced into the war bossiness.)
How would you see Fords involvement pre- and post-war?
Your heart is in the right place, but is the US a genocidal slaver country just because it was founded on genocide, slavery, and violent insurrection? Is Germany still a Nazi country because it fell to the Nazis 87 years ago?
No? Well, just like Germany isn’t a Nazi country anymore, VW isnt a Nazi company anymore.
So ist every German company that survived WW2. But yeah, VW is pretty horrible.
Is or was? I’d argue that VW is less evil than the automakers who keep pushing wank tanks in the US. Those giant SUVs and pickups are destroying cities and the planet.
Toyota is my favorite automotive brand overall, but I hate the Tundra and the Sequoia models. They are grotesque abominations. So I respect VW for not joining the wank tank arms race.
