      There was a photo of a Tesla in Vienna, Austria with a swastika sprayed on the hood. It’s started.

      You are aware that very many Tesla drivers bought their cars before Elon went full-retard.

      I’m on your side, but I’m not selling my car.

      I do hope you’ll notice the anti-nazi sticker on it.

        They wont. Its irrational but a large group views your car as a drivable hate symbol. Irrationality is kind of how strong emotions work. (Kind of like how truck bois would coal roll and slash the tires of prius owners)

          Yeah Republicans sure are known for buying electric cars, right? Damaging people’s cars because you lost an election is stupid to begin with but this is something else.

            To be fair, almost everyone I’ve met who bought a cybertruck is conservative. Swastika that shit up.

              Man if you people spent even a fraction of the time organizing locally that you do LARPing about painting swastikas on the cars of potentially innocent people, you might actually have a union or local socialist group.

              On the other hand I don’t want you psychopathic clowns in my union.

          I’m not your enemy. Tesla drivers are not your enemy. Look for actual signals, not false signals.

          By the logic you’re stating, all Ford drivers should be harassed too, because Henry Ford did business with Nazi Germany. Toyota drivers should be harassed because Toyota got their start with military trucks for the Japanese Imperial Army during World War II. By that reasoning, we’d have to scrutinize nearly every major corporation for their historical ties.

          If we’re going to address systemic issues, let’s focus on meaningful actions and accountability rather than blanket blame or misdirected hostility.

              Please do. Show us how it’s done. Build your own car. Deploy your own technology and access it on your own smartphone/computer that definitely doesn’t have Apple, Samsung, Qualcomm, TSMC (and many others) designed and built parts. Grow your own wheat and capture and store your own solar energy on batteries that you’ve mined and refined the minerals yourself. Build your own home.

              Now do all of that without a single mega-corp product. Rules are rules; nope you can’t even buy a hammer if it was produced or sold by a megacorp.

              Turns out that even cyberpunks need corpo shit too. But good luck on your violent anti-corp rebellion—you’re going to need it.

        I also bought a Tesla before we knew he was a Nazi. Now we don’t know what to do with it because we’re probably leaving the country soon, so selling it, buying a new car, then selling THAT a few months later means we’ll bleed money.

        I love the car but hate that fuck.
