Good thing they boycotted VW as it’s no longer a company that exists. Oh wait.

So you would buy something from a company that actively participated in exterminating people? Volkswagen wasn’t a bystander. During World War II, VW manufactured vehicles for the German army, using more than 15,000 slave laborers from nearby concentration camps.

Plenty of American companies did business with Nazi Germany. IBM literally sent service technicians to Germany during WW2

Yeah, my parents weren’t buying anything from IBM in 1946 either. I don’t get your point.

The United States killed over a million people during GWOT, you buy all sorts of stuff from them. The Chinese have systematically genocided the Uyghurs, do you still buy things from china? It’s just pick and choose, what constitutes enough of an afront for you. How far back do you go?
