I recently was in the BMW museum and they actually had a whole section dedicated to their Nazi past and how they want to never do that again. Do with that what you will but at least they’re not shoving it under the carpet.
That’s true, but just because the business that does sell out is more successful, doesn’t mean we can’t and shouldn’t buy from the businesses that didn’t sell out. Obviously they will be harder to find because they tend to be more local and/or niche (you gotta be, if you want to survive against businesses with no morals), but we all need to be doing what we can.
Of course with cars, there’s little we can do because all the privately owned companies tend to be making multi-million dollar cars. But for things like food, clothing, etc, there are often alternatives to the big name brands. You just have to look for them.

Every single business in existence will sell out any value they say they hold for profit.
If they don’t another business will, welcome to capitalism.

There’s just more profit in performative concern for that community.

I know that. But we still need to support the companies that do shit we want, so it’s more profitable to do so.
better than IBM I guess
Just curious, what did they do?
It’s important not to forget the past. If America treated slavery the same way we’d be a lot further socially.
and then there is Austria…
Their current symbol looks like a painted over swastika, so I’m sure their future will continue be a painted over swastika.
And a cross is a swastika without arms… your point?
