          Eh, it’s one of those brands that has weird Nazi associations that still exists. It’s fine to have it as one of those “things” that you have in your head as a “hmm” mark around companies.

          • IBM helped make the bureaucracy of genocide more efficient.
          • Fanta is Coca-Cola for Nazis.
          • Hugo Boss made their uniforms.
          • Volkswagen was the Nazi-mobile.

              I didn’t know about that one, so I looked it up.

              I’ll actually give Goodyear a pass. My reasoning is that the partnership was to allow a German company, zeppelin, to produce and sell blimps in the US.
              They never produced aircraft for the Nazis, and they actually brought German engineers and researchers out of Germany.
              When the war broke out the partnership dissolved and Goodyear started producing aircraft and synthetic rubber for the allies. They never reformed the partnership, so no laundering the business like coke and Fanta.

              Beyond that, the zeppelin company and leadership was about as anti Nazi as you could be. The leadership at the time of their rise to power ended up being forced to share control with a fascist and was censored because he spoke against them.
              Less relevant but still an interesting bit of trivia

                  Yup, and there are so many companies where they did the shitty thing.

                  In this case Goodyear was founded in Ohio, and Zeppelin by Count Zeppelin. (Weirdly, Goodyear wasn’t founded by Goodyear, just named after him because he invented vulcanized rubber).

                  The Goodyear-zeppelin partnership turned into Goodyear aerospace before the war, then severed ties with Zeppelin when the war started, and eventually got purchased by Lockheed Martin, which doesn’t make blimps, so it kinda just went away.

      Not projection in this case.

      Notice that trump already says he will be a dictator on the first day. There’s already video of him saying that, and it is kind of hard to debt it and claim he meant something else.

      MAGAts have no good defense for it either.

      Muskow is using obvious AI created picture, to dillute how damming is trump’s statement. He essentially says “oh you have video of trump saying he will be a dictator? That’s AI! I can make Kamala also say something like that”

      And at this point the attention is diverted, that trump literally wants to be a dictator and no longer is even trying to hide it and everyone is arguing what’s real what’s not.

          He misjudged the time ghost. But also he fired the woman who kept his image and behavior under control, and lost his mind over unions. I imagine he thought he’d be like Walt Disney, but aforementioned zeitgeist made him look like Henry Ford with less competence and sanity.

          I know he always had tumultuous relations with Grimes, the two of them both seem to have a lot of issues both separately and together. But also Naziism is meant to appeal to people like him. He is rich, powerful, and emotionally insecure. He must hear that he is special and better and that he should be having a ton of sex. He parrots eugenics that flatters him because it tells him what he needs to hear.

          He refuses therapy because what he needs to hear to be healthy is the opposite, that he needs positive interactions with those around him and that that comes from genuine humility. That Twitter is terrible for him and that psychedelics clearly haven’t helped him fill the emptiness inside and so he’d be better served by something like volunteering. Not by giving some huge extravagant shit to show he’s the best, or some partisan thing. Something like swinging a hammer for habitat for humanity or stocking a food pantry. Something painfully ordinary that does direct good, allows him to be taught or guided and corrected, and puts him in community with strangers for a common goal. But he’s not going to do that. The emptiness in his soul is like an irrational phobia, it drives him away from the solution and towards behavior that makes him into a weirder and less likable person. If he hollows his soul out enough he’ll feel less empty right?

      The more public-facing a person you are, the harder it is to sue for libel. Suing for libel as a presidential candidate is a catastrophically stupid decision. Not only are you subject to discovery (in this case, Kamala would have to submit her entire wardrobe to the public record to prove she doesn’t own a red Stalinist-chik pantsuit), and she would lose the lawsuit anyway because presidential candidates are about as “public figure” as you can get.

      It would be the worst possible fight to pick right now. Could you imagine the field-day the right would have if her entire wardrobe were to be made public?

      It fits to this old quote, just not with words but everything they do:

      Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
