    i think it’s valid expression of opposition to the very real rise in authoritarian and facist-adjacent ideologies. and judging by the pictured replies, these particular tesla fans aren’t exactly the most well adjusted or compassionate people.

    plus, and this is just me being staunchly “eat the rich”, it’s not like they can’t afford to fix it. the net-harm done is much lower when the “private property” in question is best described as a $100,000 toy.

    it’d be a different situation entirely if the primary reasons for owning a swastitruck weren’t either ideological, infantile, or both. but c’est la vie, it’s the world we live in.

      These trucks aren’t owned by Tesla but by private individuals who you don’t know. You just judge them on your own assumptions like racists judge people by the color of their skin. You are exactly the same.

          People posted that their vehicles are routinely vandalized and strangers act in an aggressive manner toward them. You support that and believe they deserve it. What part of that do i misunderstand?

            i think actions spawn myriad reactions, some of them very predictable. this is one of those very predictable reactions.

            i also think anyone who owns one of these $100,000 toys can afford to drive literally anything else, and thus completely avoid this problem.

            what reasons are left for these folks to be whinging about this publically?

              They are not toys but vehicles used for transportation. You know for people to live their lives. It’s examples like this why you can’t win an election and why most people do not want to support you. Good luck to you.

                you’re missing the point entirely, but i reckon that’s your whole schtick. good luck to you as well! 💖
