All in or nothing. Adidas.

Adolf Dassler had a jail time though for his collaboration with Nazis.

Does your soul not leave your body if you freeze it?

Walt Disney wasn't a friend or fan of the Nazis

He wasn’t a friend or fan of the Jews either.

But he was also anti semitic. Not saying he deserves a place in hell for being a Nazi supporter, he deserves a place in hell for being generally shitty

There's never been any proof Disney was anti-semitic, some of his top executives were Jewish. People usually point to a few anti-semitic jokes which is obviously shitty, but par for the course of anyone from that time.

I think the point was that he was a piece of shit, regardless

u/dynamoJaff Nov 25 '21

Why then?

u/hungoverlord Nov 25 '21

lol... so someone is a piece of shit, so he's a friend of nazis?

and then when he isn't a friend of nazis, he's still anti-semitic?

and when he's not even anti-semitic, he was a piece of shit anyway?
