Sounds about right for a Nazi like Ford. Dictating times for curtains to be drawn, coming to inspect your home, checking your back account... This is before social safety nets existed.

Oh, Henry Ford? The confirmed nazi supporter Henry Ford? That guy? Wow. Hard to believe that guy would be a facist!

In all seriousness, fuck Henry Ford, for everything. Fuck Walt Disney. Fuck Thomas Edison. And fuck Elon Musk for besmirching the good name of Nikoli Tesla with his shitty facist supporting electric cars that are a slap in the face to everything Tesla stood for.

And, lets not forget to give rememberance to Topsy the elephant, who was murdered for being a big elephant in a propaganda smeer campaign.

Although I agree with most you say on them being fascist asshats, there is not the slightest evidence Edison had anything to do with the killing of Topsy.

The killing was done by her handlers as they wanted to get rid of her, they could not handle her anymore after an incident with her original handler. The film of the killing was released by Edison films yes, but Topsy was killed a decade after the war of the currents, and Edison wasn't even in charge anymore of the company after the merger with General Electric.

He wasn't present during the electrocution of Topsy, did not have any electric business anymore, and again there is no evidence whatsoever that he was involved.

But Yeah, fuck 'm all, except for Topsy, may she rest in peace.

That goes in total opposition of everything I was taught in school. Where are you getting your information?

I learned about the killing of Topsy because I am very interested in the life of Tesla and his inventions. I dislike Edison because imo he did Tesla wrong, but I learned quickly that the most dispicable thing attributed to him is very likely not true.
