Alyssa Milano trades in her "White Supremacist" TESLA for a Volkswagen instead


A mess...They are gathering her in her mentions.

So she picks a car from the company founded with help by Hitler?

She's a dimwit!

That's the underlying qualification for being a leftist

I remembered reading this a few years ago and was able to find it again.

My thoughts on this would be, are any nazis or white supremacists profiting from VW today? That's what should matter.

Edit: I'm not defending Milano. I think she's said some stupid shit over the years, but as far as I am aware, Volkswagen of today has nothing to do with the Nazi party.

So, now nuance is ok? In this individual situation? We're allowing nuance again???

I think I always strive to allow for nuance.

Here's a more in depth history of the car from the US Holocaust Memorial Museum: https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/volkswagen-1

You're absolutely right that the company hasn't done anything nefarious in many, many years. However, it is ironic to say the least - and makes Milano look even more like an idiot by calling Musk a "White Supremacist" - and then getting a Volkswagon which has quite a history! Had she just kept her mouth shut and bought a Volkswagon if she wanted a new car, nobody would think twice about it. Has to always try to make some ridiculous point when she doesn't know what she's talking about. Just stupid!

Exactly why I said I'm not defending her.

I'd say this is a common theme. Not long ago, Azov was deemed a terrorist group with deep neo-nazi links - now it is being proclaimed to be a heroic military unit.

If ISIS starts doing the US' bidding, it won't be long until you have mainstream news media (which is now on the whole controlled by only a few corporate entities) proclaiming that it is a revolutionary movement fighting for democracy.

This is gaslighting and as we've learned, it is highly effective - especially when disseminated in the mainstream news media, which essentially is the main building block for forming the opinions of the masses ('history' textbooks play a big role there as well, but that's for kids - long term brainwashing technique).
