and a Boston man was arrested for slapping stickers of Musk making a Nazi-like salute on Tesla vehicles

Better have him taken out back and shot, right? 🙄

I think it was this one which also got banned from Reddit:

collapsed inline media

[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 17 points 5 hours ago (11 children)

Oh, I like that one! Direct and to the point.

Hey, since when is it bad to want to kill Nazis? Last I heard that was generally encouraged. It's the whole moral foundation that the first person shooter genre was based on.

Ironic that he referenced Carnegie. Carnegie and Rockefeller were so terrified of the public that Rockefeller refused to leave his mansion for years at a time, and Carnegie fled to England, where he publicly supported Unions, but privately told Frick to squash the strikers. That blew up in his face, and he had to capitulate to all the demands the workers had.

If those guys are supposed to be in uniform - no two are dressed the same. One guy didn't tie his shoes, another's jacket doesn't fit. It is very sloppy and unprofessional looking.

I can't even get passed how gross it is to see this many cops standing in front of a business where there is no visible evidence of violent activity where people might be harmed. It just looks like a statement saying this is our priority - corporate welfare for the Uber rich and worst possible human specimens at the cost of taxpayer dollars. It's so gross I can't even work my way to the nuances of how these slobs are dressed.

It’s what policing is for. It’s never been about protecting people but businesses

[–] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 12 points 11 hours ago

There’s a reason people say officers are class traitors. Policing has never been about protecting the public; It has always been about suppressing the masses and protecting the elite.

Fits in perfectly with the Tesla brand then, doesn't it.

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 9 points 5 hours ago

I burst out laughing at "heavy police presence", those guys look heavy alright.

It's way harder to find a spaceX dealership to torch

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 59 points 11 hours ago

Also hard to torch something that's already burst into a million pieces. HEY-YO!

[–] bingBingBongBong@lemm.ee 17 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

There is a small, but not completely minute, chance that SpaceX employees may be on this.

These people have a brain, and are only in the company to gain experience. Who knows, maybe one or two engines may get damaged in the process.

Duuuude. The enslaved Jews were pissing on the V2 avionics causing the missiles to crash. You could be right. Fuck Elon.

Actually resistance in concentration camps is an untold saga. The most famous example is the inverse "B" in "Arbeit Macht Frei", but there where more examples, and less subtle too, like full blown antifascist banners in barracks, even sabotage and espionage in the gas chambers. Never give up!

I think Musk is a red herring for the Trump administration to divert attention away from Trump. Keep the eye on the ball. If there was no Trump Elon wouldn't have this power.

[–] vvilld@lemmy.world 26 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I don't agree.

These fascists are all following the political ideology and strategies laid out by Curtis Yarvin under the pseudonym Mencius Moldbug. He's been in the orbit of people like Peter Thiel for 10+ years and has been very influential among the tech oligarch crowd.

His vision centers around creating a tech-oriented monarchy for America. At the top would be the president who would operate more like the Chairman of the Board in a corporate structure. Rather than governing on a day-to-day basis, this President/King would appoint a CEO to oversee the actual management of government. That's the role Musk has taken on.

Trump appoints Musk to do the actual running of the country to accomplish what Trump wants accomplished while letting Trump seem above the fray (at least that's the intention, Trump is too incompetent to actually stay above the fray). Musk isn't a red herring. He's not diverting from anything. He's just the guy doing the job so Trump can go golf all day.

No corporation has ever been anything other than a dictatorship. They are the least democratic of institutions. Why do people think any differently?

Kind of, but not really. It's more like Musk is doing Trump's dirty work for him so that when the shit hits the fan, he gets the blame instead of Trump.

I think that's an overkill approach to convince us to not buy a Tesla.

[–] AidsKitty@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

It's no longer about convincing people to stop buying a Tesla, it is now about destruction.Everyone knew this is where it would lead.
