A clothing maker being unbelievably tone-deaf isn’t odd at all these days – but it should be.

A lack of historical knowledge, among other things…

And perhaps, a lack of history of the founders of the brand?
LOEWE was founded in 1846 in Madrid by a group of Spanish leather craftsmen, and the brand originated in 1876 when Enrique Loewe Roessberg, a German craftsman, joined the group.

Hmm. Before 1933, the Nazis were obviously evil but just another political party. Facebook would have run ads because it didn’t have not to. After 1933 Facebook would probably have been annexed by the state and even if it wasn’t it would have done exactly what the Nazis told it to. (CF IBM and Bayer.) The final solution was formulated in 1942. If he’s saying that Facebook as an American company would run ads for their enemy’s plans to commit genocide then that seems unlikely. If his point is merely that there is nothing so evil that Facebook wouldn’t run ads for it, well, using the Nazis is just lazy and I think Godwin has an opinion on that.
ETA:such ignorance
I’m leaning towards a general lack of historical knowledge, though that can most certainly be part of it. How everyone can not see that and think “concentration camp” really hasn’t even seen the films that explore the holocaust (Schindler’s List or the Boy in the STRIPED pajamas).

Before 1933, the Nazis already had a (very clumsy, but still) attempt at an armed coup under their belts.

I keep mishearing this song as “Fuck The millennials we want it now”. Jimmy Cauty was born in 1956 and Bill Drummond in 1953 so OK Boomer…

“Obviously we’re on the cusp of something new here as robots, autonomous or otherwise, start following cops around and go knocking on doors. The next step will surely be putting weapons on these things.”

Ok, but not until you finish your meat and potatoes.
And stop asking if there’s anything besides salt and pepper around here!
