This has layers

NGL that swasticar is much better than the rest of their lineup

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 hours ago

If it wasn't a tesla it would look great

[-] Harbinger01173430@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

NGL, that AI generated cyber truck looks far better than the real deal

In most othe countries, this would be a van

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 14 points 1 day ago

This is the vehicle anonymous men in black suits use take you away in, like, every dystopian movie and video game ever.

It's so nice of elongated Muskrat and the orange Pumpkin to be the first of their kind, to publically display Swasticars in such bold fashion - in recent times

[-] RidderSport@feddit.org 71 points 1 day ago

This looks better than the Cybertruck

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 4 points 1 day ago

Any other company made it... I would totally want this!

...But I will not support that fucking Nazi currently tearing down my country.

Is it specifically the cybertruck people are calling swastikars, or is it all tesla cars?

[-] Pringles@lemm.ee 24 points 1 day ago

All of them. The cybertruck is just the dumb swasticar.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

It's the Panzer VIII Maus of Swastikars. Except they keep making them for some reason.

I personally prefer fash barge.

[-] SilentKettle@lemmy.wtf 8 points 1 day ago

Is it ok to print Swasticar stickers and stick them on Tesla's parked on the street?

[-] elliot_crane@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

Ugh.. please reconsider. Many of us bought model 3/Ys years ago because they were a viable option to ditch gas vehicles. It’s bad enough that I’m stuck with this car for a while longer, I really don’t need it getting vandalized making people think I’m a fucking fascist.

[-] IzzyJ@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

They make bumper stickers that say "I bought this before I knew Elon was a fascist", if that helps

[-] Kage520@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Yes but if I put that on my car then the group more well known for vandalizing cars will want to vandalize it.

[-] SilentKettle@lemmy.wtf 4 points 1 day ago

Maybe you should put that on a sticker on your own car :-)

The Nazis didn't use the 'Swastika' per se, they used a specific type of swastika called the hooked cross or hakenkreuz. Calling the Nazi cross a swastika brings confusion and disrespects many cultures where the symbol has a meaning diametrically opposite to that of nazi ideology.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

In english the Hakenkreuz was always called swastika. That's the common usage and calling that wrong is pretty pointless.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

This really is not a "well, actually..." situation.

[-] TangoNoir@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

Indeed. Most people don't know what a real Swastika is because of Nazi fuckheads. They don't deserve to be able to continue using the term.

[-] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

So yes that is all true.

However, the mental link of the name "Swastika" with the Nazis has had 90 years of reinforcement in popular culture.

If you want to perpetuate a meme that annoys Elon and damages the Tesla brand (because I think they still spend $0 on marketing) then:

  1. "Swasticars" is a very good phrase because it's a portmanteau and everyone (in WEIRD nations) can work it out, have a little giggle, and then spread it as a meme.
  2. Explaining that it's technically incorrect by going "well actually... (Pushes glasses up)" is not going to help spread the meme and is just being a bit pedantic.

Elon Musk isn't a Nazi, FFS.

... Nazis could make cars.

Who has Elon growing a toothbrush mustache on their bingo cards?

A musktache if you will.

Fair. I’ll stop calling Swastikars Swastikars, or was it Swasticars? I think it’s Swastikars.
Anyway, someone cooked up the word Hakencruisers and I really loved it.
