I'd like to see him "owning the libs" and paying to get his car from the impound lot lol

[-] Saneless@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

He'll do a go fund me and get rich. Once a conservative realiszs you can pretend to be a victim after being an asshole and get rich from it, they don't stop

[-] ohlaph@lemmy.world 53 points 1 year ago

Proud ignorance is the planets cancer.

[-] partypoop@lemmy.world 49 points 1 year ago

100%

Western conservatism is all about creating problems for the other side or preventing the other side from producing results, not solutions for the greater good.

[-] Saneless@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

That's part of it. You forgot where you imagine a problem and then yell about it, claiming to have fixed it when it has "gone away"

Conservatism in 2025: [Big-ass truck parked on a railroad level crossing]

[-] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Hey rightoids, if you blocked rail traffic with your big trucks I'd feel so owned.

[-] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

Weird, all four tires are aired up and nobody has poured brake fluid on the hood.

[-] linearchaos@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Looks like he needs about four extra grams of tire weights in one of those motherfuckers

[-] AKADAP@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Now you've done it. I'm now tempted to get some extra stick on wheel weights to "balance" the wheels of the unbalanced people who ICE Tesla chargers. Much more subtle then letting the air out of their tires.

[-] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Don't do this. And certainly don't go down to harbor freight and find that you can buy wheel weights very cheaply so that you could absolutely not do this to any wanker who is definitely asking for it.

With these electric vehicles having waaaay more power than these compenstors douche bags drive around, they'd have no problem moving these pavement princesses out of the way.

Get some finely powdered aluminum and put it on the hood...

[-] scutiger@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

While I get that this is for a meme, this picture can be simply explained by the fact that these chargers have very short cables, and this truck wouldn't be able to charge if they had parked normally. It's actually a pretty common sight.

This doesn't make conservatives any better, but it does give this specific picture some context.

[-] Vlhacs@reddthat.com 43 points 1 year ago

Just look at the truck. It's a dodge ram, they don't make any PHEV models.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 42 points 1 year ago

Even if you know nothing about cars, you can tell that from both context, and the fact that it clearly isn't plugged in.

[-] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

Can you show me where Dodge was making EV pickups in the mid-late 2000's, which is the approximate vintage of this truck?

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You high at?

[-] SamboT@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Asshole in 2023.

The mental energy you guys put in to hating huge groups of people that can't be defined with any one characteristic is nonsensical.

[-] Guns4Gnus@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 year ago

So long as Conservatives politicians rely on militant ignorance and a desire to shit on the less fortunate, and Conservative voters buy up their dogwhistles and hatred for minorities with a spoon, they can deal with people calling it out as they see it.

Oh, and the Conservatives that say "But I just voted for the tax cuts" really don't look to good saying "I think that militant bigotry isn't a dealbreaker for me saving money."

[-] SamboT@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Theoretically, a person who aligns with terrible things that are promoted by terrible people in positions of power are terrible. Sure. Why do we believe this truck owning person is conservative? Because they are "protesting" electric vehicles? Because they seem uneducated or proudly ignorant?

So if we associate a stupid person with "deduct a point from conversatives" without any basis for knowing they are conservative, are we educating ourselves about conservatives or are we making a reality that is comfy and understandable because we ourselves are stupid?

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 year ago

That's about it, yes.

Seeing them use a giant pickup truck to ruin the day of electric car owners simply for the sake of pissing them off and asserting their dominance is a pretty good basis for knowing they're conservative. The first time I encounter an asshole pickup driver who hates electric cars and loves to spoil the day of anyone who drives one, yet who embraces left-wing politics, I will change my mind about the "right wing" stereotype. Until then, it has a pretty solid hit rate.

[-] SamboT@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Well good luck finding such an instance when people's identities are predetermined by your internet feed.

[-] Guns4Gnus@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 year ago

Your refusal to admit reality must be so endearing among your friends.

[-] SamboT@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

It's just that people are inherently bad at making statistical guesses. I don't have any assumptions about this hypothetical person, other than I disagree with blocking charging stations.

And I'm not sure what value is realized with circlejerk hatred, for you or for anyone else. I would argue that it's a waste of time. Everything we choose to spend our time on accumulates and makes us who we are. It scares me to become a bitter devisive old man because of imaginary rage bait that trains me to associate hatred with a group of people.

[-] Guns4Gnus@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

You keep on making excuses, but you keep ignoring that there is only one political party that's in a tizzy about gas stoves and stating that rolling coal is a form of free speech.

You can make all the excuses you want... but your chosen political views* show that you hate the reputation that they have spent the last 22 years reinforcing.

*a hit dog hollars

[-] SamboT@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

What are my political views? I don't know any conservatives that hold either of those opinions. What percent of conservatives do you think roll coal? How many people who roll coal are political versus apolitical? Just curious.

I don't know what you mean by that saying.

They are taking on the persona of the truck owner for purposes of making humour.

[-] 2ez@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

This is an old picture though

[-] Powerpoint@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yet still accurate
