      True of Volkswagen too, but those fascists are dead. Tesla and Toyota are currently being led by them.

        It’s much easier to list the car companies that don’t have demons in their closets. The South Korean automakers? Rivian? Some of the Chinese ones maybe? All debatable I’m sure. Basically every other automaker I can think of either sold jeeps and other machinery to the Nazis at some point or literally were/are Nazis.

        Fuck sake, I like my Toyota. If I bought it second hand and didn’t give them any money do I get a pass?

          Maybe, if:

          • You only buy aftermarket parts for it.
          • You never mention the brand on social media again.
          • You cover the front and rear badges, or replace them with nonfigurative flower signs.

      Lets be real, if a company is somewhere around 100+ years old, odds are like 1:1 the founders were shitheels. Can’t indict them for that. By all means indict them for other shit though, there’s prob plenty.
