    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?

    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.

                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

                  Not all that surprising that Canadians are especially pissed off. Didn't he say Canada isn't a real country and then he deleted the Tweet afterwards? Yes he did...

                    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.

                      Tesla could solve most of their problems by firing Musk. Any other public company whose CEO makes a very public Nazi salute would fire that CEO.

                      Yes, he'd still be a large shareholder, but I think simply getting him out of the company would give a lot of people the sense that he faced some personal consequences for his actions, and that any companies who deal with Musk will also face consequences.

                      They could have done this a LONG time ago... now the damage is done. Nobody would care he is no longer CEO (although that may help Tesla develop better cars), people are not going to want to drive a Swasticar anyway nor give money to a literal Nazi

                      Short of selling all his stock and completely disappearing from the public eye, Musk completely destroyed Tesla. There are simply better options that do not include helping/associating with a Nazi

                        It won't.. they will bail it ot with taxpayer money.
                        Like it or not every US citizen will buy some Telsa stock (but never own it).

                          I read something earlier in the week about a tesla dealership being vandalised here in N Ireland. Might be a worldwide thing.

                                We need anonymous to dismantle Twitter and plummet it all so it can be amongst all the other apps that went to the grave.

                                  If they fire him as the CEO. Now that would be interesting to see the turning events of that whole company. It would definitely salvage the massive amount of loss within their company. Which is insane because they would just have to fire Elon as the CEO.

                                      I think him being the shareholder is the problem. I don't care if we was to step down as CEO, I want to see him hurt financially. Especially since he bought twitter off his Tesla stocks. Hit his stock hard enough and when it comes time to pay for twitter, he'll be fucked.

                                        When Trump said he'd prosecute tesla vandals "with the full force of the law" it really highlights the unequal enforcement in our system. Its like saying "I'm going to turn on law enforcement right now just for this issue". He clearly does not believe in laws or law enforcement.

                                        Kind of shows that republicans are soft on crime, soft on the legal system in general, and disrespectful of law enforcement, excrpt insomuch as they can be used as personal storm troopers for issues they care about. Republicans are soft on America, but rock hard for Russia.

                                          I hope republican voters are proud.

                                          You damn right they're proud! As long as the powerful white man is hurting the right people to keep them in their place they'll vote republican forever.
