I just noticed that if you take the VW symbol, cut it up, you can make the SS symbol.

Look at the W : cut off the last line and stick it to the end of the V, then turn it 90 degrees and you have the SS symbol.

This is heavily biased phrasing.

A lot of companies who did bad stuff in the past have entered and reentered military supply chains. Common German examples would be e.g. Carl Zeiss.

Also the crimes of the past generation should not affect their children. Generational and general punishments are widely seen as inhumane.

Critize what people can actually change and are actually doing in like the last 30 years tops.

I do. They literally want to provide military weapons to a genocidal state hence the comparison to their past actions.

I thought corporations were people, doesn't that mean VW should be hanged for their crimes?
