The official account for Ford Motor Company on X was apparently compromised in a hacking incident behind a viral post calling Israel a “terrorist state.”

In a statement posted Monday evening, Ford said its X account was “briefly compromised” and several unauthorized posts were shared.

          Nazism isn’t an inherited trait, it is a tool of social control.

          private media and business continue to see Nazism as a means of pitting the working class against itself, its neighbors, and geopolitical its rivals

              Nationalist Socialism, specifically, yeah. “We can’t give you nice state-sponsored amenities because the evil migrants and foreigners took them from you” is a classic Nazi propaganda strategy and one popular all over Western and Southern Europe right now.

              You’re coming at this from the perspective of “Nazi Bad”. It’s only harsh and broad if your opinion of fascism is harsh and unequivocal.

              But you need to recognize that public opinion is turning. Fascism is regaining popularity globally, with Germany being one hot spot of many - from the UK to the Philippines to Argentina. Fascism isn’t some kind of hollow slur anymore. It’s popular public policy.

      So you’re saying all Germans are Nazis?

      That’s not what that commenter said. That’s what you want for them to have said, so you can have a melt down over it.
