    Such a great podcast! Absolute Talmudic in its thoroughness.

    'Know Rogan' is a pretty good new addition if you haven't checked it out yet.

    I'll check it out!

    I count myself among the lucky who has never heard that overgrown thumb talk for longer than a sound bite.

        In the words of Duke Nukem, "Hail to the king baby"

        The king being us, the people, who outnumber the billionaires, the billionaires who can still bleed.

        And if it bleeds we can kill it.

          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.

            It's the nazi in the bar story. Gotta call them out and shut them down early, or else they take over the place like they do on reddit.

              I bought mine 6 years ago. I'm going to get rid of it but had to change plans because my son's car just died. I wouldn't blame anyone that vandalized my car. It should be expected.

              Mine has been debadged for years but I just put BYD badges on it. I doubt too many people will know what that is but I hope someone gets a chuckle.

              Here's a thought... Pre-vandalize it.

              Get some white paint that won't damage your car, and write "Fuck Musk", or "Swasticar" so it looks like it's been keyed into your paint. Maybe grab a quality "cracked window" decal and slap it on the glass. Finally, take your bumper covers off.

              Then when (or if) this shit cools off, you can just wash the car, peel the decal and re-attach your bumper covers.

                This is why I hate the left is there is a ton of people just as stupid as people on the right

                There are people who support a fascist, and those who oppose them, and those just waiting to see who wins.

                Which side are you on?

                This is as narrow an understanding of things as any Republican which is my point. But can't call that out right that would make me a centrist even though I'm not. Can't be critical or you're labeled a "them"

                There are flowers that smell pretty and there's flowers that look pretty and there are those that aren't really flowers but trees. Which ones do you like?

                  Most of the world is raping and pillaging lol most people are blank slates that do what they are told.

                  Look at MAGA for proof and all the proof from other countries that are fucking MAGA, too.

                  Look at the religions we made to try to put the fear of God into people to stop killing each other.

                  Come the fuck on.

                    And then park it front of a Tesla sales center?

                    I have a friend that does EV conversions of RAM Promaster vans. I wouldn't mind using my car to do a conversion and then build it out for a class b camper van.

                      Remember a guy telling it is more efficient to paint over sold Tesla to discourage buyers. But we have to admit news of burning Tesla is pretty discouraging too.

                        I’m not too concerned about the dealerships. They have insurance. But can these people stop doing it to privately owned vehicles? And also, stop harassing the telsers on the road. I’ve seen a few videos now of drivers being harassed. That’s not Canadian.

                        Also, car dealerships are the backbone of local conservative party funding. They are the financial backbone of the fascist movement

                          Seems like the thought is: if you paint a Tesla you prevent the sale of that one Tesla, but if you burn one, the entire populace has second thoughts about buying any Tesla.

                            So, are you opposed to fascism, for it, or just waiting for the winner?

                            Or, what's your other option here? I fail to see any other at this time.

                              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 wear 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.

                                On the other hand, if you only pay for things that don't support evil, you'll starve in Capitalism.
                                And that's by design.

                                  Tesla's aren't selling?

                                  1. Set them on fire.
                                  2. Claim that it's arson.
                                  3. File insurance claim.
                                  4. Profit.

                                    To be fair, one of my neighbors bought one years before he knew about this, I don't believe he had any idea. I don't necessarily think he should have his car burned.

                                      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.

                                      Elon Musk has been a total fuckstick for a long time. They were just ignoring it because cool car don't go vroom.

                                        Yes, he'd still be a large shareholder

                                        If they fire him, he would sell. This would tank the stock value.

                                        They're damned if they do and damned if they don't.

                                        1. Large shareholders can’t just sell. There are rules to prevent stock manipulation
                                        2. He’d be the first victim of tanking the stock. Not in his best interest
                                        3. He can’t sell any shares used for collateral
