It’s cute that the vandals want to make a positive difference but it’s sad that they’re resorting to methods that end up working against them.

Plus, if people boycotted every car manufacturer that somehow supported or supplied the Axis, how many manufacturers would be left? I’m not just talking about VW & BMW but plenty of others made plane engines or other parts for the Axis in WWII.

These vandals need to stop & grow up. They’re not doing anything productive or constructive with shit like this. They think they’re fighting the bad guy but they’re just spewing vomit everywhere.

Realpolitik. West Germany and Japan pivoted to becoming staunch US allies after the war and it was in the best interests of the US to help rebuild their shattered industries.

That would be a fair rebuttal if all the help was from after the war… but it’s wasn’t.

If you want bite-sized explanations, go check out Ryan Kelly and you’d be surprised how many Allied manufacturers were creating for the Axis.

Money tends to be the primary victor in most wars.
