    • Make a simple solid stencil with this image on something thick like cardboard, plywood, or foam board
    • Tape the stencil to the bottom of a large paper or cloth reuseable bag and cut out the bottom of the bag so the stencil shows thru.
    • Put a can of spray paint in the bag.
    • Put the bag up against walls, sidewalks, etc.
    • Spray paint stencil on things

      The big sides of beer cases are lightweight, easy to conceal, and perfect for this. If you have a jacket with a liner, you can cut a thin line it with a razor knife and nobody will find your stencils.

        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)

            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 can’t keep up with the propaganda from the GOP.

            Sometimes Russia and China are omnipotent and scary bad guys that can do anything. Then sometimes they are bumbling and dumb bad guys that just can’t do anything right. In the case of Russia, sometimes they are the misunderstood good guys.

            Oh and I forgot, where does the US right stand on Jews now? They were the bad guys faking history but in the last few years they are the good guys. Now that indiscriminate killing in Gaza is over, is the GOP going back to the status quo of pre-2023? After Musk’s salutes and the response from the right it does seem like that is going to be the case.

            The GOP fanfic of the world is just so confusing and ever changing.

          That is objectively false. https://ballotpedia.org/Election_results,_2024:_Analysis_of_voter_turnout_in_the_2024_general_election

          A majority voted. 2/3 of America wanted Trump to win. Even if you factor in voter suppression, then it is probably > 3/5. 1/3 of america is openly fascist, <=1/3 of america literally will not lift one single finger to do the easiest thing possible to fight fascists. They 100% will not do the harder things and will do whatever the fascist regime tells them to.

          That leaves 1/3 that at least have the courage to spend the minuscule effort to go and vote, but it is objectively true that the majority of americans voted and that the majority of america either wanted Trump badly or wanted trump enough to not vote for his opponent.

        I mean not voting is often/in many places the most popular American presidential candidate, obviously not just because plenty are stupid or apathetic, but also because it’s been made pretty hard to vote in many places.

        It’s more accurate to say that the majority didn’t (manage to) vote against him. So the conclusion is more like the majority didn’t care enough to prevent this, instead of the majority wanted this.

        To you it might feel no different but seen from the outside it very much is different. The consequences are still bad, but your consequence shouldn’t be resignation, Americas citizens failed themselves sure but they aren’t overwhelmingly monsters.

        With the amount of fuckery in terms of media and the whole election process in the US this is a more fair assesment.

        The options proffered were “genocide by a blue president”, or “genocide by a red president.” This election was incapable of recognizing a majority position of “no genocide”.

            True, and not at all related to the point I was truing to make.

            “America’s favorite color” has a ballot featuring chartreuse, mauve, and taupe. This ballot cannot recognize a majority opinion of red, blue, or green. Those options are simply not present.

            Likewise, the ballot we were given in November had no ability to recognize “no genocide” as a majority opinion.

        Just because we can see this coming, and it’s not terrible yet doesn’t mean it’s not terrible.

        The kind of person you are calling ‘disgusting’ is empathetic to all forms of oppression and not just focused on the US local landscape – we just see it happening here right now and are calling it out. We have also been calling it out when it occurs elsewhere.

        Doing anything to limit or inhibit the spread of information about what is occurring is more disgusting than being fascist to begin with. Fuck off.

I can’t remember how many times some petty news broke about their squabbles only for them to call each other the greatest of friends when it’s convenient.

        There’s this idea of developmental arrest. Zuckerberg is cited as such. Instead of growing up and developing normally, as a human, past the age of 25, a landfall hit, sure, from his own machinations, but as such his further brain development outside the focus of his business was halted. And this is how you get a mall ninja entrepreneur who carries a samurai sword around the office threatening to chop everyone for not doing a good job. In his 20s. I can’t imagine the lack of effort involved in growing up incredibly privileged isnt a factor, depending. I say that not as a guaranteed happening but as the easy path without checking yourself, like water naturally running downhill.

        Same with Elon. The obsession with X as a name seems like an exemplar item on that. It’s like the name you use for something when 420-69 is already taken. He tried it with PayPal. He tried it with Tesla. He finally gets to use it on Twitter as a grown ass man decades later. I liked stickers as a kid, but I’m not slapping them on all my belongings at 40+.

        Developmental delay doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t be smart, capable, or even genius. Broaden the parameters. It can mean you are a genius coder but have the emotional intelligence of a cucumber.

I get to call them stupid all day every day because they did that when it could’ve been a historic voter turnout against fascists instead.

      I don’t know any better word for it, there are battle lines drawn, tens of thousands dead for meaningless reasons and soldiers everywhere fighting in hand to hand combat to feed their kids and access life saving healthcare they already paid for.

      It sure as hell looks like a war to me, otherwise you have to explain to me this no mans land I am in full of the cries of the suffering and dying as their lives are brutally dissected by the 1% in the pursuit of the drug of having more money.

      Would “slaughter” be more fitting than “war”? Technically yes, but we all know how powerless we are, there is no need to ruminate on it, calling it a war gives gives each other the chance to feel solidarity in our resistance.
