As someone who works for Red Hat, I really wish it would have been any other color that Trump chose.

I mean, you’re now owned by IBM who did help the Nazi’s… seems like it’s come full circle!

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Well, if you're going to start listing the US firms that helped Nazi Germany, we're going to be here all day.

I was going to be here all day anyway :(‘

Basically any company that existed back then.

Ever used a floppy disk or a VHS? Chances are it was made by BASF.

BASF is one of the resulting companies after IG Farben of Cyclone B fame was forcefully broken up.

Yeah, trends in politics and culture really shafted the brand.

  • Nothing wrong about red hats if it wasn't for Maga.
  • Nothing wrong with fedoras if it wasn't for 4chan incels 15 years ago.

Now I'm curious if it'd be possible to rebrand to GreenBeanie. It has a nice ring to it.

Fedoras were Redditors, not 4channers. The idea was that you had guys who thought they were dressing nice by wearing a cheap fedora and like cargo shorts.

4chan incels don’t leave the house.
