I thought Elon was behind this since Tesla's aren't selling well. They should start from there.

[-] ABetterTomorrow@lemm.ee 5 points 58 minutes ago

There’s a website to track elons plane.

The police are there to protect the business interests of the richest man in the world.

They call regular people “terrorists” for daring to stand up to fascism in any small way.

They start a manhunt for the murder of the CEO of a health insurance company while ignoring the murders of countless regular people every day.

Private property is protected, while it’s been made illegal to be homeless.

What a sick and decrepit society.

[-] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 6 points 2 hours ago

Next they will be threatening you if you don’t buy a Tesla.

[-] j0ester@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

Anti-Tesler Terrorism.

Thoughts and Prayers.

[-] Binky@lemmy.sdf.org 94 points 5 hours ago

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.

[-] MrVilliam@lemm.ee 49 points 4 hours ago

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.

[-] LilB0kChoy@lemm.ee 2 points 2 hours ago

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.

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 2 points 2 hours ago

Just wondering when it was ever mask on?

[-] PunkRockSportsFan@fanaticus.social 137 points 5 hours ago

The domestic terrorist is in the White House.

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 19 points 3 hours ago

Don't be ridiculous. As the Commander in Chief of the United States he's also an international terrorist

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

The call is coming from inside the (white) house!"

[-] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 5 hours ago

An anagram of 'domestic terrorist' is moist or restricted

Which probably applies to Trumpo

[-] PunkRockSportsFan@fanaticus.social 17 points 5 hours ago

Gross. Now I’m thinking about his diapers.

Moist AND restricted.

Dudes got shit in his pants.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Well.....it might not be in his pants yet. It's perfectly well established that he's full of shit.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 1 points 57 minutes ago

When he puts on pants they are full of shit by definition.

[-] ServeTheBeam@lemmy.world 31 points 4 hours ago

Republicans doing things to stop people from destroying cars but not children in schools. “Family values” party.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago

If Republicans could feel shame* I’m sure they’d be very upset.

* about anything other than sex

[-] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 47 points 5 hours ago

Different article, but the picture just makes me so happy:

we didn't start the fire

[-] CommissarVulpin@lemmy.world 25 points 4 hours ago

If you set it on fire it makes a rainbow. There’s something profound in that.

[-] fnrir 13 points 3 hours ago

something something turning the Teslas gay

[-] Nfamwap@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

The country was founded on the principle that the primary role of government is to protect property from the majority

  • and so it remains
[-] SCmSTR 7 points 3 hours ago

Holy shit the call is coming from inside the house what a waste of a country

[-] Ebby@lemmy.ssba.com 43 points 5 hours ago

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)

[-] northendtrooper@lemmy.ca 18 points 5 hours ago

Arson, its just arson.

[-] entwine413@lemm.ee 7 points 5 hours ago

If you want to abstract it enough, hurting Tesla hurts musk, who unfortunately is the government.

[-] roofuskit@lemmy.world 21 points 5 hours ago
[-] entwine413@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago

That only matters if it's enforced.

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 5 hours ago

Full fascism

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 10 points 4 hours ago

Anti-trans, anti-immigrant and pro white supremacy terrorism are still A-OK, though.

[-] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 18 points 5 hours ago

In an alternate universe where the world is logical, insurrections are terrorism and firebombing teslas is patriotism.

[-] Zirconium@lemmy.world 1 points 9 minutes ago

Really wondering what the discussion around Teslas would be if Elon Musk had gone full in helping Kamala win but Trump still gets elected

[-] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 1 points 16 minutes ago

Firebombing Teslas is patriotic in this one

[-] SouthFresh@lemmy.world 20 points 5 hours ago

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.

[-] maxwellfire@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

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.

[-] pr06lefs@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 hours ago

When you finally see the big picture, you have to die because you know too much.

[-] grumpo_potamus@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

The network TV spin-off for this FBI task force is going to be great.

Law and Order: Special Needs Unit

[-] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 9 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Aww, the dot world news mod team is gonna be so happy to know that the FBI is protecting their precious teslas.

Which mostly speaks to why this is "a good idea". People vandalizing swasticars was effective. It was a comparatively low effort action that people could do on their way to work or while out drinking with the gang. And it did an amazing job of putting the fear of labor in all the tech workers who "will just ride out the next 4 years". They couldn't just say "I am one of the good ones" anymore.

So... get rid of that and we go back to "This is horrible and I really do care about whatever issue we think matters this week. But if you worked just a bit harder you would be able to afford groceries so..." that we see EVERYWHERE (even on this site).

As we say in brazil: "cagões" (shittest way to refer to cowards)

[-] Patnou@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago

Hey Tesla don't know if it would work but if I see one alone at a dealership totally going to toss a gas rag in and burn baby burn like Gone In 60 seconds. Ok now that I am a terrorist can I get three hots and a cot for about 4 years, then sue the ever living shit out of the US government? Then buy Reddit or whatever and shut it down and use the rest to promote lemmy.world

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago

Best they can do is an illegal deportation to concentration camp

[-] CobblerScholar@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

It'll be great when they see a Tesla that exploded because of how shitty it is and try and spin it into physics being woke
