Weird it says "paused" and not "terminated". I think there's something wrong with my glasses, am I seeing it correctly?
Business is business
Nazis have money too!
Yeah, but "My Pillow and meth" money is very different from "new car" money
Well, the Swiss have it now, but the Nazis did loot a bunch of it from the corpses of their victims at one point.
Yes you did. They are just checking to see if their PR can handle it - capitalists have no problem with Nazism.
Fascism is the final defense against movements such as communism and socialism, given that it is what they turn to once there's evidence there's no good side to capitalism for the labor class (fair wages and civil rights always get rolled back; public-serving government is captured to serve the ownership class; upward mobility is sabotaged; etc.)
So it is impossible to be capitalist without anticipating fascism at least in the future. And while ethical capitalists exist who treat their workers relatively well and avoid unethical sourcing or production, they're much like ethical kings, in that they are the exception and are replaced with less-ethical owners. Even Gabe Newell will die or retire or be bought out.
In the end, the Musks and Zuckerbergs and Bezoses are like the Fords and Disneys and Bushes (and Busches) who are like the Rockefellers and Carnegies and Morgans, who all are glad to see the labor class languish in Great Depression era living conditions while they restore absolute autocracy. And they'd rather die, themselves, fighting to keep their assets, or watch it burn rather than give it up for a better, livable society.
In the end, the ownership class will tremble before communist revolution. The only alternative is extinction, or destruction of the environment that precludes population large enough for mass infrastructure.
Nazis gotta get to the lynching somehow. What do you expect them to do? Walk!? /s
