The country was founded on the principle that the primary role of government is to protect property from the majority
- and so it remains
Anti-Tesler Terrorism.
Thoughts and Prayers.
Next they will be threatening you if you don’t buy a Tesla.
Buying a Buick == Domestic Terrorism
Finding a way to import a BYD to the US == Deported to El Salvador
As we say in brazil: “cagões” (shittest way to refer to cowards)
Fascism is just ultra capitalism in a trenchcoat wielding a flamethrower!
…Or a chainsaw
Property Police
I’ve seen this meme format for years now, but never understood it. Why are they just floating in space? Why is one killing the other?
I get this individual meme…I just don’t get the format.
When you finally see the big picture, you have to die because you know too much.
The original is something like “it’s all Ohio” “always has been”. The globe shown is just a large landmass that looks like Ohio. They’re probably astronauts since you’d have to be in space to see it. The astronaut killing the other has the Ohio flag on them and is killing them for knowing too much.
Wow, I have so much more context now. And honestly, it’s actually a lot funnier than I thought it was, thanks.
Oligarch is using the state for personal vanity project…
We pay for this and the normie is fine with it because oligarchs property is note valuable than his own 🤡
In an alternate universe where the world is logical, insurrections are terrorism and firebombing teslas is patriotism.
Firebombing Teslas is patriotic in this one
Really wondering what the discussion around Teslas would be if Elon Musk had gone full in helping Kamala win but Trump still gets elected
He’d be a hero who got fucked by tariffs. Instead he’s a villain who got fucked by tariffs.
Terrorism is scaring/harming people to manipulate government.
Tesla is neither government nor their property damage is scaring people.
More trumped-up charges.
(It is hilariously fitting Trump the man and Trump the word fit so gand-in-hand)
So are we suddenly pretending Musk isn’t a de facto government leader who might be manipulated by this? (Terrible wording, but y’all get my gist. I’m going hiking now.)
I mean, it depends on who in the admin you ask.
this is meant to be read without the emotional loading to the words that we’ve been conditioned with: ie X is implicitly bad… these are just words, whose meaning has more depth than what they actually define
terrorism is
the use of violence against non-combatants to achieve political or ideological aims
violence is
an act of physical force that causes or is intended to cause harm
arson is violence
and this particular act of violence is intended to achieve political or ideological aims (musk is a political figure albeit not an official government employee, and this is in response to his public political acts)
now, i’d argue it’s not “against non-combatants”, but perhaps it is? is destruction of a persons property constitute violence against them? it’s at least psychological - trying to scare/influence for sure
let’s not kid ourselves though: it is what it is… it’s just ridiculous that this is what they pursue while pardoning jan 6 offenders… the issue isn’t that they’re labelling this domestic terrorism. the issue is that it’s singled out because fElon asked daddy dictator
Arson, its just arson.
If you want to abstract it enough, hurting Tesla hurts musk, who unfortunately is the government.
Not legally he’s not.
That only matters if it’s enforced.
I don’t see how that’s relevant.
What a waste of resources
The domestic terrorist is in the White House.
The call is coming from inside the (white) house!"
An anagram of ‘domestic terrorist’ is moist or restricted
Which probably applies to Trumpo
Gross. Now I’m thinking about his diapers.
Moist AND restricted.
Dudes got shit in his pants.
Well…it might not be in his pants yet. It’s perfectly well established that he’s full of shit.
When he puts on pants they are full of shit by definition.
Don’t be ridiculous. As the Commander in Chief of the United States he’s also an international terrorist
“both foreign and domestic” i guess is the repurposed phrase aye?
But is he actually in the White House? I’ve seen a lot of pictures of him golfing…
Tis a silly fascist country
Won’t someone think about the cars!?
This really does illustrate the idea that police aren’t there to “serve and protect.” They are there to keep the common people in line so that the rich can stay safe.
To serve^(the government) and keep^(the population) in check
Mask off moment. Their purpose is to protect capital. The only crimes that cops prevent are through deterrence because they are crime punishers, not crime preventers.
they are crime punishers, not crime preventers.
This isn’t unique to the US. It is called law enforcement so even if it wasn’t a completely broken and horseshit system crime prevention would not be part of their purview.
You prevent/reduce crime by addressing the underlying societal issues that are contributing to it.
Just wondering when it was ever mask on?
Different article, but the picture just makes me so happy:
How thin does that metal paneling have to be to wilt due to brief exposure to fire?
The Cybertruck makes vinyl home siding look more durable.
vinyl home siding
TIL that’s a thing. Eww.
Its actually extremely common
Maybe in some country/countries. In others, it is extremly uncommon. Actually.
Valid. I’m in the states and a German friend came to visit. He said the architecture was vastly different. Buildings are made different and they don’t have lawns everywhere.
If you set it on fire it makes a rainbow. There’s something profound in that.
You remember the video where someone filmed the rainbows a sprinkler made in the sun, and claimed it was proof that “they” are poisoning our water?
something something turning the Teslas gay
OH NOOO AFTER M&MS CARS ARE NOW INFECTED BY THE WOKE VIRUS (soon on Fox News I’m sure 😂 )
