Well of course it’s not an accident. That’s sort of the joke in rearranging the monikers.
However thinking this has anything to do with the racist way MAGA presents candidates with names like Obama, or really any candidate of color with a non traditional name, I don’t think they equate as they’re intended to suggest they aren’t native Americans, and somehow have ties to foreign powers or interests.
Do you want a few dozen news articles describing the way they stress those names as clear racist and Islamophobic dog whistles? They’re all over the place. It has nothing to do with not being born in America. They stress “scary” sounding names to rile their base up about Muslims and terrorists.
The same exact thing this meme is doing. If Trump didn’t have huge ties to all the big evil corporations and wanted to make them look bad it’s the sort of thing he’d probably post himself.
Check out the guy who posted it. Does he seem like a great person to you?
You realize my last comment was on how MAGA sounds dog whistles over anyone with a foreign sounding name yeah? No shit. We’re on the same page regarding that bit.
This meme isn’t doing the same thing because this has nothing to do with Islam, foreign companies, or anything of the sort.
This joke is over giving these companies an undesirable acronym related to a guy who bombed the WTC. These companies lack a race or religion to tie to the moniker.
Do you think jokes about Trump hiding in a food cart depicted like Sadam in a cave are racist as well in this regard?
When Trump says “Barack Hussein Obama” he’s not mentioning race or religion either. He doesn’t need to. Most people in his base tie the name Hussein to Saddam so stressing it is all he needs to do to get them thinking of spooky scary Muslim terrorist monster dictator bad evil people.
Note that the guy who posted this meme also has a black joke on his page from like 2 days ago.
Deciding to use the name Osama to refer to a group of evil corporations isn’t an accident.
If it was Adolf, would that be Germanophobia?
If WW2 happened much more recently and the US far right responded by trying to stoke racial fear of Germans in it’s follower? Probably.

And these are just corporations.
Again thinking you’re reading way to into it

Obama is a black man. They try to stress his middle name to raise Islamophobic fear. Literally the same thing this is doing with Osama.
No, how would that be stoking Islamophobia?
I missed where race or religion were being highlighted in this meme. Can you point to the black or Muslim company in this picture please?

When Trump says that it’s because he’s referring to a black man with a foreign name. How do you not get that?
Corporations are not people. Corporations don’t have color. Corporations don’t have religion.
You are equating irrelevancies.
I have no interest in bickering with you. You’re defending a racist meme posted by a racist techbro finance guy. Good job.
