Here is another antisemitic genius, Louis Renault, inventor of the Renault FT, the 1st turreted tank, in 1917, and the Renault R35, the 1st tank w/ sloping armor, in 1934. He invented the modern tank and his designs are still used today along with the tank suspension invented by J. Walter Christie from the USA in the 1930s and the motorized loading system and electronic targeting system, also known as the all-weather-interceptor package, for weapons such as machine guns, auto-cannons, cannons, and missile launchers invented by Howard Hughes in the 1940s and 1950s, respectively. All of these men were rabid anti-semites and anti-communists.
He was such a high testosterone brute that he was even called the Ogre of Billancourt:
During the interwar period, his right-wing opinions became well known, leading to various cases of labour unrest with proletarian avant-garde workers at the Boulogne Billancourt plant. Louis Renault started growing increasingly paranoid and reclusive at the same time, and deeply concerned about the rising power of Communism and labor unions, eventually retreating to his country estate, a castle on the river Seine near Rouen.
In 1938, Renault visited Adolf Hitler, and by 1939 he had become an important supplier for the French army. At the time Hitler's Wehrmacht invaded France in 1940, Renault was in the U.S., having been sent by his government to ask for tanks. He returned to find the Franco-German armistice in place. Renault was faced with the choice of cooperating with the Germans and possibly forestalling them from moving his factory and equipment to Germany, which would lead to an accusation of collaboration with the enemy. He put his factories at the service of Vichy France, which meant that he was also assisting the Nazis. Over a period of four years, Renault manufactured 34,232 vehicles for the Germans. Renault argued that "by continuing operations he had saved thousands of workers from being transported to Germany", but Life in 1942 described him as a "notorious Paris collaborationist".
Renault was arrested outside of Paris on September 22, 1944, on charges of industrial collaboration with Nazi Germany. He was hospitalized and died of uremia before he could be tried. Renault's widow sought a court decision to establish that he had not died of uremia, but had been "deliberately murdered after torture". The widow's story made big headlines, but it did not really startle Frenchmen; they sensed that it was probably true.
Another example of a genius being persecuted by the Left, just like how religious orders persecuted geniuses of the past like Mozi of China, Galileo Galilei of Italy, and Charles Darwin of Britain for challenging religious doctrines with their discoveries, such as the 3-Prong Method of Investigation by Mozi, the developer of the scientific method, Heliocentricity by Galileo Galilei, and Evolution by Charles Darwin. Considering that right-wing capitalists like Louis Renault have now become the targets of persecution in the modern times along with Elon Musk, Leftist ideology has become the new doctrine that people follow fanatically while religion continues to decline.
