  I think it’s pretty shitty how few human corpses Ray Kroc skinned on his own. Ed Gein did all the corpse-skinning himself. Rich man Kroc got the butler to skin human corpses when he wanted human skin.

    Kroc and Ford’s numbers put Gein to shame though…

      Yes, but with far less creativity and artfulness.

    I’m glad you didn’t try to defend Ford. You know that nazi would have been happy to get his hands dirty skinning various people.

      Oh he did. The original Model T had seats upholstered from the skins of Jewish orphans that Ford would personally strangle every morning.

        Yeah. I hadn’t heard that, but it definitely scans with his whole vibe. That dude loved to be antisemitic. One of the best to ever play the game. Up there with the okhrana.

      Wait what? Ford was a nazi?

        Sort of the other way around. He published the Protocols of the Elders of Zion (a famous antisemitic book) in serialized form in his newspaper and Hitler admired him for capitalist reasons as well. He kept a photo of Henry Ford on his desk.
