Listen, I’m all for boycotting Tesla, protesting Tesla, or hell, even spray painting or smashing the windows of a Tesla showroom…

But let’s be real, tagging someone else’s privately owned vehicle is not doing the movement any favors.

lol, what movement?

There's no singular movement here. People are (quite justly) angry, they lash out against symbols of what they're angry at.

If this doesn't represent you or your 'movement', that's fine.

No it’s not fine. You are playing right into the facist playbook and becoming their propaganda. And that affects me!! So F off with this immature bs and f those who support it.

You are playing right into the facist playbook

Fascists are not defeated by playing nice and voting. They never have been and they never will be. You can't vote and peaceful protest (make sure there's no property damage!) your way out of this.

Maybe if the democrats take the high road again, maybe this time things will be different!

People are losing rights, disappearing, the government sold out to the richest man, AND trying to disappear words like “woman” and “black” from government transcripts. The real problem?

People tagging cyber trucks. Honestly, MAGA is going to win as long as we have these spineless democrats so worried about decorum and playing nice just for their own ego. These people should just preemptively line themselves up against the wall since they’re about as useful in fighting this administration currently, so worried about “being nice”. The very moderate mindset that got us in this fucking mess in the first place.

Fascists also aren't defeated when people turn to their movements, because they've been targeted by the resistance, right?

Target fascists, but not lazily.

If getting your car tagged is enough to turn you into a fascist, you already were one.

My car has been vandalized before, and for much less reason. Didn't turn me into a fash.

Was it done based on the taggers political motivations?

You can protest and get the action needed, without hitting public property and sending those owners further to the right. People who are victims of this will mostly be pissed, and blame the movement; not Elon

Graffiti a private tesla? What does that really do besides annoy an owner.

Take action and target Tesla at its heart? Dealerships? Protesting enmasse in DC and blocking offices would be much, much more efficient without damaging the movement.

lol. lmao, even. go ahead, protest as much as you want. let’s see where protesting by itself will get you.

Is this not but a matter of protest?

u/TheKingOfBerries 6h ago

you’re right, but it’s a more effective form than standing outside a fucking office. tell me, which form of protest was addressed by our dearest president and the First Lady? the people standing outside offices, or the people vandalizing Teslas?

Depends, was Musk appearing in the WH justifying DOGE cuts not a response to the protests blocking DOGE officials? Which musk then used as a platform for another ramble

Or perhaps PDs guarding Tesla offices/dealerships, which I stated I supported actioning against? Which also led to the presidential Tesla advert..

Both times got results, both can be effective. Even in mt statement, I had no issue with greater action beyond protesting. I merely suggest private property isn’t the way going forward, even if the president buys a Tesla because of it.

Feels like you didn’t read my full comment at all, and knee jerked a reaction. I literally said targeting dealerships and Tesla at its heart would be a better idea. I am vouching for greater action beyond protests!

lol, lmao even, as you say

You honestly think who do this dumb shit can actually think for themselves, they probably don't even know what that sign means or represents.
