I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case, but Ford was involved in many countries and made a lot of money from foreign investments. He was, as I said, a capitalist. If he were alive he wouldn't support the dissident right unless he could profit from it.

Capitalism in itself is not evil. It's what you do with the money that counts.

You're aware he used his own money to fund a newspaper that advocated keeping America out of the world wars while questioning Jews, right?

In fact, the only reason it's not circulating today was because he was forced to close it by you know who (as well as other cucked Whites back then).

The trial prompted the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) to begin a concerted effort to oppose the Independent. An ADL-led coalition of Jewish groups led the charge, and raised objections to Ford's writings in the Detroit press. The ADL also organized a boycott of Ford products, which was supported not only by Jews, but also by several liberal Christian groups. In December 1927, Ford gave in and abolished the paper. News reports at the time quoted him as saying he was shocked by the paper's content and unaware of its nature. Ford also wrote a public letter to ADL president Sigmund Livingston recanting his antisemitic views.[20] Ford's 1927 apology was generally well-received: "Four-Fifths of the hundreds of letters addressed to Ford in July 1927 were from Jews, and almost without exception they praised the Industrialist." While most of the major national Jewish and non-Jewish newspapers accepted Ford's apology, many local Jewish papers rejected it.[26] In January 1937, a Ford statement to The Detroit Jewish Chronicle disavowed "any connection whatsoever with the publication in Germany of a book known as The International Jew."[26] According to Pool and Pool (1978), Ford's retraction and apology (which were written by others) were not signed by him (rather, his signature was forged by Harry Bennett), and Ford never privately recanted his antisemitic views, stating in 1940: "I hope to republish The International Jew again some time."[27]

Yes I am aware of his newspaper and what happened to it. This isn't an issue to me but it's also not related to my point. His pacifism related to the world wars was respectable but contrary. He still profited from manufacturing military equipment in both world wars and, in the example I provided already, he profited from the automotive industrialization of the USSR, which he did in China and India as well. Which goes back to my previous statement, if he were alive, he wouldn't support the dissident right unless there was money in it.

Capitalism in itself is not evil.

Yeah ok

Yeah, Ford also didn't fund the NSDAP or anything of the sort. He was woke on the JQ but that was it, never did anything outside of publishing his book to affect any resistance to international finance; rather, he helped them to win the war by industrialising countries controlled by them.
