However the VW of today is vastly far-removed from VW during WW2. In fact the only reason VW exists post WW2 is because of a British army captain who wanted to get the factory up and running and build some cars. He thought the design of the beetle was inexpensive, practical, and cool. (Interesting sidenote, the designs of the Beetle were offered to British carmakers, who rejected it, stating that nobody would want a car so cheap and devoid of luxury. The Beetle went on to be the most popular car in the world.)

Or if you won't do those things, then I beg you to take just a little less effort here and not post. I swear to God, some of you fuckers are the kind of dudes that rock up to a lesbian bar, get kicked out for hitting on women at the lesbian bar, and then start pissing and moaning about how "no one is allowed to be real man anymore hurk durk durk durk" and calling the bouncers woketards. permalink fedilink source parent [–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 1 point 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) ! lostlemmings@lemmy.world permalink fedilink source parent

[–] Matt@lemdro.id 11 points 3 years ago (2 children) If actual Hitler worked on a project should we all just use that project even though Hitler made it? It's called Volkswagen, one of the biggest car manufacturers in the world. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago* Touché. However the VW of today is vastly far-removed from VW during WW2. In fact the only reason VW exists post WW2 is because of a British army captain who wanted to get the factory up and running and build some cars. He thought the design of the beetle was inexpensive, practical, and cool. (Interesting sidenote, the designs of the Beetle were offered to British carmakers, who rejected it, stating that nobody would want a car so cheap and devoid of luxury. The Beetle went on to be the most popular car in the world.) Continuing the analogy, VW is more like a fork of the original VW project started by the Nazi party. permalink fedilink source parent [–] the_q@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago Yes and I don't buy them.

[–] Zengen@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) Comparing Brendan eichtoo Hitler doesn't seem logically coherent but let's just use your fringe example. We do actually continue to use shit invented by Hitler all over the world to this day. Volkswagen to give an example. Lemmy is made by tankies. So... The answer is that so long as the thing is sufficiently useful. Yes. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] the_q@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) I don't use VW or brave. That's my point.
