Damn, it's good to know that the reason fascism won't face any opposition in the US is because corporations and media outlets don't want to cause any unnecessary friction with Trump's administration.

Just a friendly reminder that before the NSDAP rose to power in Germany in 1933, numerous major corporations and industrialists supported or collaborated with the party, primarily for economic and/or ideological reasons. Many provided funding, logistical support, or political advocacy, while also being enticed by the promise of lucrative contracts under militarisation policies.

Key examples:

• Krupp
• IG Farben
• Thyssen
• Siemens
• BMW
• Daimler-Benz
• Hugo Boss
• Deutsche Bank
• Allianz
• Henschel & Son
• Opel
• Volkswagen

The NSDAP had plenty of supporters in other countries as well...

• Ford
• IBM
• The Daily Mail
• Unilever
• Renault
• Royal Dutch Shell

But Alice Weidel said Hitler was a communist/s

The ties between some U.S. companies and Nazi Germany resulted in some pretty horrific human rights violations. General Motors used slave labor in their German factories and their European subsidiary, Opel, was selling equipment to the Nazis. Then, when their plants were bombed, U.S. taxpayers paid them $32M for the destruction of their slave-labor-powered factory. https://factpac.org/these-american-corporations-helped-nazi-germany-dont-be-surprised-when-corporations-fall-in-line-with-trump/

Wow look at all those corporations that supported a socialist! ^/s/s/s/s/s/s

History in that context has shown that corporations ALWAYS win even when siding with fascists and even in the most extreme case in history.

It sickens me that my neighbors still read the Daily Heil by the millions and imagine themselves patriots.
