Did they really start out the article with that Henry Ford quote?

>Did they really start out the article with that Henry Ford quote?

Yep. Complete with the meaningless Corporate Memphis stock photo. All the hallmarks of some serious grade A bullshit.

It’s Inc.com as serious a business publication as People is an investigative poltical news outlet.

I don't know why this isn't mentioned more often, but Henry Ford was an actual Nazi. Like not just had sympathies or fascist tendencies. He ran an insanely antisemitic newspaper. He sent Hitler birthday presents. Hitler, in return, credits him as an inspiration and a great man.

Makes Martin Heidegger look like an antifa by comparison.

Do you have source links for this?

This is a good starting point:

I thought it was reasonably-common knowledge that Henry Ford was anti-Semitic and did business with the Nazis. Here's a good overview for whoever this might be new information for: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/henryfo...

Revisionist history, omissions of information can be just as powerful as presenting false information, sometimes more powerful because everything else is correct.
