  I’m worried about the next Rittenhouse. Stay safe out there and watch out for the “good guy with a gun”

    I love when someone brings up Rittenhouse because I dated someone who went to high school with him, so I know quite a bit about him.

    Turns out all of the signs were there and his mom encouraged that type of stuff :)

      They’re often are signs. I was at school with someone that ended up being a murderer. He was a super weird kid, his father wasn’t around and his mother was an alcoholic so he never really had a great upbringing, schools response to all this was to get him suspended whenever he acted up.

    I’m sick of worrying about being killed over my freedom of speech in this so called free country and I think I’d rather die by calling out some fascist than cancer or living under tyranny anyways.

  There have also been an uptick in incidents of arson, vandalism, and violence against Tesla showrooms that, while unrelated to the protests, have led to Musk and President Donald Trump labeling them “domestic terrorism."

  It’s perfectly reasonable to think that at least some of these could be false flag opperations orchestrated by the Trump administration to give them cover to arrest innocent people and eventually declare martial law. The more that possibility is part of the mainstream conversation, the more wind it takes out of their sails towards accomplishing those goals.

    I wish the stock price would just collapse already along with organic consumer demand for the cars themselves evaporating into nothing so it could whither and die a natural death.

    As much as I hate Musk, I’m not a fan of seeing property damaged. Not because I love the property, but because it’s too easy to leverage it as terrorism by a regime that has a hard-on for labeling anything it doesn’t like as such. Consumer collapse and bankruptcy would be beautiful to behold.

      I don’t like damage to property cause I’m scared of my tyrannical government

    Very accommodating terrorists. I don’t think setting fire to things can be considered an act of terrorism. At worst it’s arson.

    It’s not like anyone’s even been injured.

  There are lots of Tesla protests going on every weekend. See actionnetwork.org/event_campaigns/teslatakedown to find one near you.

  Also see www.mobilize.us/indivisible/ for even more (not necessarily Tesla specific) protests going on all over the place.

  If I was insuring Tesla or their showrooms in any way, I would see to get rid of this contract as fast as possible.

  source

  • Aux@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    I wouldn’t. That would be covered under the force majeure clause, so no need to pay anything to Tesla, but you can increase premiums by a lot and earn crap loads doing absolutely nothing.

    For cars, you’re gonna need something a bit bigger. Large coil, capacitor bank to generate a static field and some high explosives to disrupt that field to give the pulse. It fries the wires in a car. Single use only.

      You’re going to need some really big conventional explosives to affect an EMF in any way. Not clear on the math, but at that point, blowing up the vehicle with a smaller amount of explosives would be much more efficient.

    just interference, but you need a nuke to initiate an EMP effectively. i think some ev cars were susceptible to other forms of interference.

  I wonder if we will finally get a visible notion of the inaction in protests in the US compared to the rest of the world.

  I bet non-US protests will average at 2000 people per, but protests in the US will total 2000 people.

    Of course it helps that the police in not America probably aren’t going to do anything about the protests. Other than show up and watch.

  500. globally. They got nothing at all to worry about

  • Crikeste@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Are you reading it wrong and assuming they mean only 500 people? Because I’m pretty sure they mean 500 different protest locations.

    Globally.

    But since you think that’s so pathetic, how about you show us a protest that had more than 500 demonstrations on the same day.

    globally. They got nothing at all to worry about

    What’s that supposed to mean ? You think we’re not pissed off at the Tangerine Palpatine and Poundshop Goebbels in Europe ? Or do you think Europeans don’t protest ?

    If it’s the latter I suggest a little googling try “French protest gilet jaunes” for a starter. Or you could just google the protest Tesla has already been experiencing for the last month

  What does protesting in front of Tesla achieve, it’s a private company, just boycotting their products is enough to hurt them, they need to protest the goverment goons and get that cunt impeached and save democracy

    Elon hates it. Elon is a part of our government. Our government is buying Tesla to prop him up. If you just crawled out of a fucking Rick there’s your answer.

    Here’s another answer for you after decades of seeing assholes outside of a Planned Parenthood. Fuck you if you think people shouldn’t protest outside of Tesla.

    I mean the problem with your argument is then that there’s nothing we can do, as there isn’t really any pathway towards impeachment right now. As Republicans hold both houses and have pretty clearly shown their loyalty to Trump even with the fact that they’re getting so much backlash they won’t hold town halls anymore. So at this point these kinds of protests are one of the few ways to try and hurt the people in power, as well as to start building community that is needed for any kind of more direct action. It also gives Trump and Elon the opportunity to overreact against protests (like if they decide to follow through on the domestic terrorism thing) which will further galvanize people into action.

  • echodot@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    It gets Elon super mad which is funny. Also what do people who are not in the United States supposed to do protest in front of their own countries governmental buildings? What’s that going to achieve.

  I can’t associate the term bombitup call bomber with real-world protests or events, as it’s linked to unethical activities. However, I can summarize the Tesla protest news:
  Tesla protesters are organizing their largest global demonstration on March 29th. They aim to hold 500 protests at Tesla showrooms worldwide. The movement focuses on labor rights and environmental concerns. Activists criticize Tesla’s workplace conditions and union resistance. The protest seeks to pressure Tesla into better corporate practices.
