"We're acting exactly like Nazis in Nazi Germany and I just don't understand why no one wants to do business with us!"

Also the guy from Ireland who had his subdermal piercings involuntarily cut out without anesthetic.

Ice also abducted all of the adults out of a minivan, leaving two small children behind, who had to be rescued from the heat by bystanders.

If we’re going off history, it’s bad news because fucking EVERYBODY still did business with the Nazis.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 6 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah because the Nazis weren't stupid enough to alienate their own customers. MAGAs are.

[-] QuantumDuck@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

The MAGA voters were NEVER their customers. The extremely wealthy are and always have been the customer. MAGA has just been that "useful idiot" to get him in the White House. If you remember that the point is to run out all the foreign owned businesses and buy up what they leave behind for cheap, it'll start to make more sense.

To be fair, lots of companies wanted to do business with the Nazis. Most businesses now don't have an issue with Trump being a fascist, but that it's unpredictable. That's bad for business.

Nazis are the perfect clientele in a sense. Extremely predictable, very forward and open about exactly what they want and given the power they will 100% make it happen.

So long as your business doesn't run counter to their desires it's perfect.

You know expect for the whole needing to throw away your morals, soul and ethics... But big business already does so...

In the aftermath of WW2, it was decided that all those companies that worked with Hitler building bombs and guns and other military goods, they were all innocent of wrongdoing. It wasn't their fault, they said, it's unavoidable -- that's just how business works, they said.
