Imagine having to resort to violence against a private company just because you lost nlan election LMAO 🤣
You guys do realize that by promoting this, you are doing JD Vance’s campaign for him, right?
The stunlock continues at pace.

I’m not from the US, but I straight out recommend quickly educating oneself about fiber guided drones and remote weapons stations. Because the US is heading somewhere at a rapid pace.
Trump’s administration:
“Agency,” unless otherwise indicated, means any authority of the United States that is an “agency” under 44 U.S.C. 3502(1), and shall also include the Federal Election Commission.
Vance, in his old interviews:
“I think that what Trump should do, if I was giving him one piece of advice: Fire every single midlevel bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people.”
Also Vance:
“We are in a late republican period,” Vance said later, evoking the common New Right view of America as Rome awaiting its Caesar. “If we’re going to push back against it, we’re going to have to get pretty wild, and pretty far out there, and go in directions that a lot of conservatives right now are uncomfortable with.”
Googling “how do you remove a dictator?” when you already have one is doing it too late. On the day the wannabe Caesar crosses his Rubicon, it better be so that some people already know what to aim at him.

If the major stakeholder and CEO is actively being an unelected politician addressing policy changes onto the public, then repercussions need to happen.
It would not be wise to show people that they can achieve plutocracy. Plutocrats only lose their power by losing their wealth, so if that’s what has to happen, then that is the plan.

Some advice for demonstrations (including propaganda of the deed):
Wear a ski mask. Don’t trust phones. Don’t use them to plan, and leave them turned on at home. Use a cell structure to organize, and share info on a need-to-know basis only. Assume there are not only cameras but microphones. Don’t drive anywhere near the location of the demo. Don’t even cycle in unless you can go off-road. Distinguish individuals’ property from corporate property.
Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Not having the phone with you is critical. But I assume planning is done on a laptop or desktop that is obviously not taken with?
abigscaryhobo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yep, anonymous browsers, burner accounts, and a VPN if you can. Privacy.sexy is your friend too.
You just want to set yourself up as best you can for the defense of “you can’t prove that was me.”

multiple is not enough.

Tesla will simply give the people new vehicles. If one wants to really hurt Tesla, don’t buy them.
endeavor@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
Arguably making it a bad to own tesla would cost the company a lot more faster since nobody would want any of them. It is kinda assholish since people bought those terrible piles of garbage since they were told they were green and rich people luxury flex, while they refused to do their research about the vehicle and its innumerable issues.
Honestly dumping the bank owned car you keep in your yard for appearances for cheap would be a good idea since tesla will kill you in an otherwise survivable accident and it will turn off autopilot microseconds before crash in order to blame you.
drmoose@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Nice.
Montreal_Metro@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Oh no! they should be dismantled instead of burned. Some of those electric motors could be put into better use.
misteloct@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s only ok to be violent if you’re a Republican. I’m not supporting this, but since Jan 6’ers were pardoned then these car vandalisms are totally legal too. I think they’re equally immoral.
StinkySocialist@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
You think the coup attempt that ended lives is just as bad as property damage?
Both sidesing fascism is gross dude
misteloct@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Well the property damage was only in response to the actual violence. So it’s like slapping your murderer.
Ilixtze@lemm.ee 1 year ago

Nexz@feddit.nl 1 year ago
Wow. Having not read the article (just the headline)… I seriously don’t understand why people torch/destroy other peoples stuff! Yes Elon bad, but why attack innocent civilians?! 10-ish years ago, you were considered a leftist nutjob with a hardon for climate change when you bought a Tesla (note: I do firmly believe in climate change), these days you’re a nazi driving the exact same car?… Debate, discussion, even disagreement between parties is all fine and dandy, but actually destroying other peoples property is - in my honest opinion - against the very thing people ‘are fighting for’.
yaldabaoth@lemmy.world 1 year ago
because true love is only possible in the next world, for new people. it is too late for us. so they wreak havoc on the middle class
Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
A tesla is well within the range of affordable for a working class person. Someone with a decent job will be making 100k, and it’s not hard to get a Tesla on that budget. And no, they aren’t the “petty bourgeois” or what have you
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 1 year ago
the petty bourgeois class that acts as the operating oppressive arm of the oligarchy.
Good grief.
Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 1 year ago
But it’s not on fire?
arc@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Stick to the showrooms and dealers. The one in Las Vegas was just owners who brought their cars in to be fixed.
endeavor@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
They can use the insurance money to get a non tesla.
After seeing american tesla owners drive rentals in iceland, I can only offer toughts and prayers.

how does this benefit anyone? I would rather disassemble it/sell it.
Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Drives down the price of teslas.
Arson isn’t essential. A non violent act would be throwing eggs at the swasticar.
urandom@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Apparently eggs cost a lot in the US now
JacksonLamb@lemmy.world 1 year ago
MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Now, is not a time for non violent rebellion.
EwesLess@lemm.ee 1 year ago
They’re helping put Tesla stock on sale to kindly help new investors get a piece of the company.
Gurei@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Driving up insurance rates is certainly a possibility.
urandom@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Is the idea to hurt people that bought Teslas a few years ago?
SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Reduce sales because it will put people off buying one, in theory…
Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 year ago
especially people are buying the trucks despite what musk is doing, so the customers are totally ignorant, and also supporting people like musk.
Itzdan@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Stock gone, carry on

When you commit “terrorism” against the fascist enemies of the American people, is not terrorism it’s the right thing to do
SeriousMite@lemmy.world 1 year ago
These things happen sometimes…
Snapz@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Spontaneous combustion
silverlose@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Been thinking about this a lot. They can say it’s terrorism. History is written by the winners.
But…
Rebellion is constitutional, but not legal. If you rebel, you die a terrorist or live a hero. Not much middle ground.
misteloct@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Jan 6ers we’re pardoned, so by this logic all the car vandalisms are legal too.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Rebellion is constitutional, but not legal.
Sure, “we the people” control the government, so technically we can destroy it when we want. However, “we the people” also want a stable government that prevents the minority from ruining things for the majority.
So if you’re going to rebel, you need be very careful that you’re on right side, otherwise I think the rest are justified in calling you a terrorist.
silverlose@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Exactly!

What about the Germans and the French? Are they cowards too?
silverlose@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Hahaha 😂 10/10 meme
I’m not a big fan of that but I did notice there’s a new 2025 model y. At this point if you buy a Tesla you have it coming. If I saw someone destroying that I would look the other way.
RangerJosey@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
Good. Do more.
aceshigh@lemmy.world 1 year ago
They need to diversify their strategy.

“Trump administration looking to categorize Tesla vandalism as domestic terrorism” Because Republicans are cowards without principles who can never even think of opposing him.

Problem with setting Teslas on fire is we can’t know if it’s an act of protest or if they just did that on their own.
parmesan@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The incident in Kansas City genuinely does sound like one just caught itself on fire.
In Kansas City, Police Captain Jacob Becchina said in a statement that an officer first observed smoke coming from a Cybertruck parked in a Tesla parking lot. “The officer used his fire extinguisher, however, KCFD was still needed as he could not put the fire out,” Becchina said. “The fire spread to a second Cybertruck parked next to the original burning one. The circumstances are under investigation, but preliminarily, the fire is being investigated for the potential of being an Arson.”

HERE COMES THE SUM
Geodad@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Could be insurance fraud too.
RangerJosey@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
Probably a lot of the time it is. Nows a great time to do it if you’re gonna.
Saw a post earlier where a guy was 42,000$ underwater on his and wanted to offload it at that big of a loss before his insurance dropped it entirely.
alecbowles@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Exactly 🤣🔥
melpomenesclevage@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
I was JUST about to say; how do we know they didn’t just do that? or that this wasn’t a buggy firmware update that just did that? or a malicious firmware update that did this?

Thanks for hurting the environment I guess. Could have just boycotted tesla products and corporate tesla
