Imagine a species surviving world war 2 and the Holocaust then still being pro-nazi. So fucking stupid.
A bad economy and uncertain future make people very afraid. It’s tempting to stick your head in the sand, blame all your problems on a specific demographic, then trust dear leader will punish the people that made you scared.
It’s completely divorced from reality, but reality sucks right now. People are scared. They’re taking the blue pill to feel better and pretend the horror all around them isn’t happening. They won’t max out their credit cards and become homeless. Dear Leader will fix things before that happens.
If this were a recent phenomenon, I would agree with you. But western fascism didn’t go away when the good times were rolling. It may have been quieter until recently, but these aren’t just scared imbeciles struggling through 21st century inequality.
didn’t kill enough Nazis and now they own all the algorithms.
you literally described fascism
I dunno, when I get worried about stability the last thing I want to do is start attacking other people and creating even more enemies. I get that it’s not so simple and not so instantaneous a choice, but still.
they care about certainty more than truth, so theres always a bit if disconnect.
needing certainty more than truth is pathological as fuck.
Less than 100 years. It’s pathetic. Bring on the nuclear winter.
You’re not getting out of climate change that easily.
Yellowstone supervolcano eruption?
If we’re going to carve it up and sell it off to private interests, might as well.
Imagine being so filled with hate that you sympathize with Nazis.
I can’t.
nor I.
and I’m really angry, so clearly it takes more than hate.
Guess what they say is true: times change, people don’t.
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!
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.
Nazis gotta get to the lynching somehow. What do you expect them to do? Walk!? /s
Pauses…they’ll probably be back once this blows over.
Yeah, I’ve seen variations of this headline a million times. Tbh while I certainly approve of not giving Elon money, at this point I can only think moves like this as performative actions to get some free good PR.
It is shocking that they waited this long.
is the word you were looking for ‘disappointing’?
because yes.
Pause? Not Canceled?
Maybe waiting to see which side comes out on top. Kinda like Volkswagen. (Yes I know I didn’t exactly happen like that)
I’m sure this is a given reason.
I can’t help think posting ads on a platform owned by the head of a rival car company just as that company is tanking out and desperately flailing around to improve sales might be inadvisable for a whole host of reasons, though.
Hyundai executive notices a man with a small moustache being hastily ushered out of the X offices main board room.
Hyundai Executive : “Was that Hitler?”
Elon steps in front of board room door : “That wasn’t Hitler, that was a woman.”
Hyundai Executive : “That looked like Hitler.”
Why not both?
Tap for spoiler
Hopefully you feel regret and not arousal.
“paused”
Lol, I’ll take nazi ads over crypto ads. One party is at least honest about their desire to ruin others… What a world we live in.
Oh drag. Less ads about a shitty car brand. darn.
Have clearly never owned a Hyundai. My mom had a cheapo Hyundai Accent that she drove until it hit 300k miles. She only upgraded because she got tired of manual transmission, hand crank windows, and no power locks.
One instance, a rule doesn’t make.
Okay. Well looking at brand reliability numbers from JD Power, they’re 8th. (Genesis which is their premium line is 2nd).
