Sure dood. Keep buying price point trucks at full price, made in China for your AB. Have fun.
What trucks don't fall in that category? Aren't ventures the only truck made in the USA now? Also, in regards to the symbol, I feel like there's really no way to know the intention. Some people definitely use that symbol in a bad way, thats for sure. But it hasn't always meant that. So accepting it as a hate symbol just sort of validates the Nazis re appropriating it in the first place. So wouldn't it be more empowering to be like "fuck the Nazis, this isn't their symbol" and re claim it? If they can take it, why can't we? And at this point say Indy was to change their symbol because of the implications, they're sort of just caving, and giving that symbol up to bad people. Idk. Racial supremacy has no place in this world, but if we continue giving creedance to their bullshit, we sort of enable them in a way. How do you think Indy should handle this, or do you just hate them as a company at this point, and think they can't get passed this? (Serious question)
Tracker, da Kang, and 1-2 Destructo models are made in Usa. Maybe Gullwing too.
Surely debatable. Some ppl call it an Iron Cross even though that is square. I see the resemblance but it's more like the French Alisee Cross pattee.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_pattéeNow the Iron Cross is more associated with the Germany military going back to Prussia? At least WWI. So they still use it in war museums in Germany where the swastika and other symbols are banned. I could be wrong but their modern military (defenses force) might still use it.
This was my arguement to my friend.. His reply was, "What about the Godoy's? And Iron Cross skateboards? Those guys were racist as fuck."
I just laughed and said I didn't really have an argument for them/that.
I get what you're saying.. But kinda tough to take back the swastika? Idk how about a rainbow Swazi? Would that piss ppl off?
Edit..
Supposedly the Indy Cross was taken from a Newsweek cover of Pope John Paul. He's wearing a thing covered with multiple round crosses. Someone here knows the pic.. and someone swapped in the Venture logo. Could one of y'all post it? Thanks.
