If you ever want to know why capitalism turns into fascism, look into how many companies willingly and knowingly did business with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.
IBM made computers to help the Holocaust, because the Nazis could pay for the service of the machines to be built.
Google is just a modern IBM.
Fascism is a business choice, always has been. Hitler didn't get popular by himself
The Model M in my attic: heavy breathing
Hey I'm also guilty, I have had a few thinkpads. All second hand, but I did love my T420.
I just bought a (Lenovo) Thinkpad T580. Good laptop. I do plan on buying buy an IBM-era Thinkpad in the future. Hopefully, it doesn't come with a copy of Mein Kampf or Völkischer Beobachter.
With this "new" America, who knows?
Why do that when we can just watch it in real time right now?
