And everyone driving a Volkswagen is a nazi then too? If you support burning teslas, you must also support burning those

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Not sure if you noticed, but it's 2025, not 1938. Yeah, Volkswagon fucked up by supporting Nazis almost a century ago. The Tesla thing is happening NOW. Volkswagon is not the same company it was almost a century ago, just like I'm sure Tesla won't be the same company almost a century from now, when the fucking Nazi that runs it is dead. Volkswagon is also highly responsible for the much, much safer 3-point seatbelt being standardized. So they've made positive contributions.

Well that's a moronic argument

[–] Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone -3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

It's not moronic, you are literally suggesting burning random people's cars because the manufacturer is a nazi. I pointed out another example of such a manufacturer, and you have a problem with it.

Or if you want to be like that, how about just all classical voltswagons.

It’s not moronic

It is, because the arrow of time moves forward and you're talking about a company a century ago vs. now as if literally nothing has changed about that company or the rest of the world around it in that time.

If it was 1938 right now, I'd be advocating burning the fuck out of Volkswagons. It makes literally no sense to do that now.

So you suddenly care about the passage of time when it isn't about how people bought them before musk went full nazi?

The CEO of Volkswagon isn't currently doing a fascist coup you fucking moron

You're arguing with someone too dumb to realize the 1930's and 2020's are two different time periods with entirely different sets of human beings.

Their argument is the definition of dogshit.

The idea that we should destroy electric cars is dogshit. You guys want to set electrification back half a decade.
