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? 🙄

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 62 points 9 months ago

I bet it is this sticker, lol

[-] gabbath@lemmy.world 85 points 9 months ago

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

[-] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 35 points 9 months ago

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.

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 15 points 9 months 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 14 points 9 months ago

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

We shouldn't make people scared for owning a Tesla, just embarrassed.

[-] Neverclear@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 9 months ago

Yeah just like thousands of civil servants are "embarrased" of losing their jobs. Just like judges are "embarrased" that the executive branch is ignoring their rulings. Just like millions of Ukrainians are "embarrased" of losing their home. Get over your fucking self... we are at war.

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 63 points 9 months ago

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?

[-] Crikeste@lemm.ee 12 points 9 months ago

Yo that’s the exact line of reasoning I used to get my dad to be more union friendly. I think it’s pretty effective.

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.

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

[-] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 73 points 9 months ago

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

[-] gigglybastard@lemmy.world 25 points 9 months ago

You don't buy a Tesla? Believe it or not, straight to jail. No trial no nothing.

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