    So you do realize that a lot of people bought these well intentioned vehicles before Musk became a total fuckstick, right?

    Not everyone has the luxury of being able to just go sell their vehicle that they are more than likely underwater on with the loan and can’t just pivot.

    Nuance my friend.

      Depends on the model. People are mostly attacking cybertrucks in the wild.

      If it’s cybertruck, the owner knew, or chose not to know.

        Must be rough bring a CT owner. First, your vehicle depreciates 50-100k, then it starts falling apart, and now everyone hates you for it.

        Still don’t feel bad for them though.

      Go back to the times of Hitler, and imagine that you suddenly found out he owned the brand and proudly explained that those driving it represented his will.

      I’m sure you’d find a way to sell it then.

      Why are they still driving them, then?

        Again, perhaps some people, who just wanted to not deal with fuel costs, or tried to be altruistic about their cost to the environment, might not be able to just walk away from it.

        Amazingly, some people are unwilling to fuck themselves over financially over protest, regardless of how well intentioned it is.

          So, sell it, get a different one. Many companies make EVs now.

          Amazingly, some people are unwilling to fuck themselves over financially over protest, regardless of how well intentioned it is.

          But they are willing to show undwindling support of a fascist fucking over everyone financially… No matter how evil the intention is.

            I totally understand where yer coming from. And I hope that those who can decouple themselves from it, do so. But like hell I’m going to endorse harassing people without context. All that does is endorse extremism. Extreme acts can be condoned, but I sure hope you have a plan for afterwards. If not, you’ve just become what you are railing against.

              You have the context: they are still showing their support for a fascist state, and this is worthy of harassment, as a matter of community defense.

              Would you defend a woman wearing her grandpa’s swastika pin, for any reason, or is that enough context, in that case?

              We, as a society, are swinging back to making displays of fascism unacceptable. That’s all the needed context.
