They're very portable, so you can carry them around with you in case you come up with an idea of something to write on your Tesla while you're out and about. They stick to the surface quite well and don't wash off in the rain.
(Please try not to succumb to the temptation to write "F**k off Nazi Scum" or similar on somebody else's though like other people are suggesting. That might encourage people not to buy Teslas, which is a shame, because they're great American cars.)
Why are you saying that it is okay to support Nazis if it is not financially feasible to do otherwise?
It means we live in a car centric society and trading in their car wouldn’t allow them to have a reliable daily with which they can go to work
Or in other, more precise words:
"It is okay to support Nazis as long as you believe you require their products or services"
What a terrible thing to say.
Don't be a prick. People have to take care of themselves.
That said if your tesla is vandalized- but not damaged - then oh fucking well, get over it.
Are you going to donate a reliably daily to those who can’t afford a reliable daily to get by after they get rid of this Tesla?
In a car centric society, a reliable car is needed to get to work so you can have income to pay your bills and put food on the table.
If you’re willing to lose your job and income to feed yourself over a car, especially one bought before Musk stopped hiding his shittiness, go ahead.
It’s easy to ask others to sacrifice for your cause, it’s another to ask others when you don’t know anything about their life.
Don’t put words in my mouth
A car that was bought and paid for years ago is not supporting someone who had only really gone off the rails in recent years. Drive it or not, Tesla has already been paid. I guess you could argue parts or charging might continue to support Tesla, but that's marginal. Most people charge at home, and parts often come from wrecked cars as well.
No one needs a car, there are other options. The majority of people get to work without a personal vehicle.
It is easy, and more cost effective, to not own a car. I don't own a car. My partner doesn't own a car. Almost everyone I know doesn't own a car. Every single one of us get to where we are going without a problem.
Musk was always shitty. Supporting him was always a shitty thing to do.
I didn't. You said what you said, and what you said is "It is okay to support Nazis if it is not financially feasible to do otherwise".
Your excuses are almost 100 years old at this point, and falling on deaf ears.
I live in suburbs and I have never been able to get by without a personal vehicle. You are lucky to be able to get by without a car.
I never said to support Nazis. Ever.
Someone who doesn’t follow the news as much may not have been aware of Musks philosophy until a few years ago. They might have bought it previously.
I’m saying you should not have to sacrifice your life in the short term. Rather, you can take more time to find alternatives that wouldn’t lead to loss of main income.
So yes, you put words in my mouth.
Cannot afford a new car but can afford to live outside of the place where all of the infrastructure and resources are. I would say I did Nazi that coming but I figured anyone who owns or knows a lot of people who own a Tesla to be a suburbanite.
When one continues to fund a company controlled by a Nazi one is supporting said Nazi. You said, and I quote, "It means we live in a car centric society and trading in their car wouldn’t allow them to have a reliable daily with which they can go to work".
Which means "It is okay to support Nazis as long as you believe that you require their products and services".
Don't care. They know now.
I am saying I don't care. It is lovely to know how many Canadians would have done shit all between 1930 and 1942 under the guise of "too difficult" though.
Whatever you say. Anyone with a brain can see otherwise so have fun in your delusional, suburban bubble.
I don’t own a Tesla and I can afford to buy a new car. Teslas are junk.
And I’m not talking about myself. I used suburbia as a counter example. There are rural areas too.
You are putting words in my mouth because what you said is belief and supporting Nazis.
You think everyone lives in the city. In my state, most people live in the suburbs. We don’t really have big cities. The public transportation is terrible, and sometimes doesn’t show up for no reason at all. My experience isn’t everyone’s, and neither is yours.
I’m saying you dont need to get rid of your Tesla right this second if it would prevent you from putting food on the table. You should still get rid of your Tesla ASAP.
I’m not delusional, asswipe. You seem so eager to antagonize that I’m starting to believe you’re Russian.
No one cares.
I do.
Obviously considering you aren't attached to this thread and currently balls deep in my profile.
Stop being so thirsty and just ask me out so I can reject you and we can move on.
So you were wrong.
You are truly...
Are you telling me you'd rather support nazis than help a family in need? 😮
If it's bought and paid for, how does it support Nazis?
How does trashing a working vehicle fight Nazis?
Parts and repairs cost money. Then there are subscription fees. Not to mention all of the free data you give the fucker simply driving one that get transmitted to the company.
Then why are you advocating for more of them?
If you think I am you are ignorant, willfully or otherwise. That is the only explanation for your insanity.
I'm going to ignore you now because honestly you need some fucking help and I don't feel good continuing to support your chronically online psychosis.
The fact that you think owning a Tesla you bought 10 years ago means actively supporting a Nazi, but telling people to vandalize that car somehow doesn't mean you're responsible for an increase in repairs is next-level delusion.
But thanks for the preemptive cop-out to avoid having to admit you were wrong.
Who do you think provides those parts and repairs? Teslas generally don't get repaired at 3rd party shops... You're advocating for creating business and generating revenue for Tesla
I am advocating against that. Was this comment meant for me?
You're advocating for people to cause damage to Tesla's, therefore you're advocating to give them more business.
Imagine being that braindead.
Luckily you don't have to.
Notice how you can't make it make sense.
Notice how at no point have I engaged with you in good faith. Not once. I am literally just wasting your time for fun until I get bored.
Even though I told you this you will continue because you think you are winning something.
Have fun throwing poos little monkey, you have no impact on any one or anything. Which is why you are mad. :'(
Yeah, I noticed you haven't done that with anyone.
Because you know your logic is insane.
I always love the "lol I'm actually just trolling" cop out. It's probably the most delicious.
Better luck next time!
Fuck off dude
How are you even accessing Lemmy from your completely sustainable hut in the wilderness?
Or are you saying it's okay to support the destruction of the planet as long as you require infrastructure?
It is laughable that you thought this was an argument.
Go read a book.
So you agree, your line of reasoning is a joke.
No I am saying that you equating infrastructure to Nazi support is laughable, and that you should go read a book.
I am now saying you should learn to read before you try to write.
Oh you're gonna pretend to be serious. Okay I will too.
Nobody needs a smartphone or personal computer. Libraries and cyber-cafes exist.
I agree, no one needs a smart phone or computer. You are correct, libraries and cyber-cafes do in fact exist.
Look at that big brain on you! I am so proud!
So you don't have a smartphone or personal computer, then?
Try asking a real question if you want a real answer.
I just got it.
The answer is that you're fine supporting companies that rape and pillage the earth.
Yup. 100%. Rape and pillage the Earth is my middle name.
Really? I thought it was "Privilege".
No, that is my family name.
My full name is "Whitey McLiberal Rape and Pillage the Earth Privilege III".
Put some respect on it pleb.
If they’ve already bought the car Elon already has their money. Buying another car because we now know what a piece of shit Elon is, doesn’t change that.
If they bought a cyber truck they are pretty much guaranteed to be a dickhead.
Parts and repairs cost money. Then there are subscription fees. Not to mention all of the free data you give the fucker simply driving one that get transmitted to the company.
So then why are you advocating for more of them?
Don't be weird
