People need perspective. The right is literally killing people with policy and detaining /disappearing citizens and destroying this country.
The left is burning cars in protest as it actually hurts the bottom line of a right leader. The other leftists are more apauled at the burning cars than at the stuff the right is doing that is much worse.
I've got news for you. This is going to get a lot worse than burnt cars if you ever want it to get better.
Why limit it to just teslas? Make everyone who wastes money on a luxury vehicle while their are starving children regret it.
the "left" has been in collusion with the right the whole time
no right and left citizens but just citizens caught in the crossfire being fed the horseshit that it is the US "two-party system"
I'm indifferent on unsold Teslas being targeted, not like law exists in this country anymore. 🤷🏻♂️
I am absolutely 100% fucking appalled that people would be ok with doxing Tesla owners. These are real people with families who now have to fear for their safety because they thought it was cool technology when they bought the car. They also may not be able to easily afford to sell the car and buy a new or used one right away.
This does nothing good for anyone and hurts any resistance movement and sadly makes any resistance look like it lacks empathy for fellow human beings just like how what the right is doing shows they lack empathy.
I don't care because they waste their money on bullshit status symbols while kids go hungry. Their cars literally cost more than my house.
They can honestly get fucked and I hope a lot worse comes to them until they start doing their part to reduce the disparity in wealth.
And just like that we're now all focused on the couple of (quite frankly) idiots that are burning consumers' Teslas instead of the unsold ones at dealerships. Again. Just like every discussion of a protest is not about the tens of thousands of people protesting but about the 10 people looting.
Looks like the attempt to control the narrative is working as expected.
the ends justify the means. if we fail at this stage, dystopia will reign over western civilization for generations to come. the cruelest things we do to defeat the fascists pale in comparison to the damage they will do if they are allowed to take over.
Assuming for one moment that the ends really do justify the means, how is burning somebody's car going to stop the rise of fascism?
Eh, I think most people would agree with you here but no one would go out of their way to stop or even denounce this cause that's at the very bottom of the list of issues.
Musk lost his mind before Tesla sold a car.
Sure, but the public perception was completely different. Tesla was a leftist political statement. Electric cars? Saving the climate? What a ridiculous idea only libs would subscribe to, electric cars will never work. Teslas were keyed by coal-rolling right wingers.
The opinion went a total 180°, and many people still own Teslas from that time. I have no sympathy for e.g. Cybertruck owners, but many Tesla owners were buying them years ago, when they were seen as tech for progressives that care about the environment.
No innocent people on this website as far as I can tell
You shouldn't be ok with doxing people even if they are not good people.
It's an all or nothing standpoint. If you are fine with people getting doxxed for some reason you believe to be evil, then you inadvertently say that doxxing as a whole is fine. Eventually someone innocent is going to get doxxed, whether it be by accident (no such list of doxxed people is 100% accurate) or by someone with different viewpoints than you.
You shouldn’t be ok with doxing people even if they are not good people.
What if they're pedophiles?
anyone that makes goose and gander comparisons applying to both humans and sociopaths is woefully naive.
it's ok when the good guys do it. we get all the exceptions, they get none. it's a war. they're not humans anymore. if we want to win, we have to see it that way. there is no amount of cruelty we can inflict on our enemies that will cause greater suffering than what happens if they win.
no fucking mercy. guns.
I went there and there are 5 people listed on it, like Elon and Kash Patel. If they have regular innocent people on the site it isn't showing them to me.
The vast majority of icons are just dealerships and superchargers.
Reminds me: HOW THE HELL is their stock UP 23.72% this past week. I mean, what. the. fuck.
The same way a brand new crypto coin suddenly gain a lot of value. You bump it until you're not the last moron holding the bag.
probably artificially kept up by investors, or by musk or his cohorts so they can sell thier stocks before it crashes.
This is gonna be the thing that splits the left into “fuck yeah burn them” and “this is going too far” and then nothing will get done because we’ll focus too much on infighting. Can’t we all come together for something not stupid like destroying random people’s cars? If you’re going to take drastic measures, at least do something more productive. Throw a Molotov at your representatives’ cars instead. I have no tears for a burnt Tesla, but I wish people were using this energy to punish more deserving people in more meaningful ways. I’m still waiting on all those “Luigi copycats” people keep thinking are gonna appear
