This isn't a good example. These two images were 80 years apart, and the people running the company under Nazi rule are long dead. May as well be a different company at that point. A much better example is the exact same company in the exact same year putting Pride flags all over their socials in western countries, while refusing to put Pride flags on any of their non-western socials because they don't want to offend the countries that gleefully imprison and execute LGBTQ+ people.
Even better example would be the day after Pride month when all the Pride stuff suddenly disappears from every one of those stores.
Though I'd be willing to bet real money that those companies won't be putting any pride flags up this year or any other year that Trump is President.
Also BMW was a major sponsor if NSDAP when the Communists were considering nationalizing private wealth.
All the hate and cynicism directed at Bavarian Motor Works can never be enough.
