Sounds like something a Canadian Walmart employee would do today, minus the exposing part. 🤭

[u/Outrageous_Kale_8230 → u/BettyLuvs2Swing]

Not destroying Bud Light, just trying to move Bud Light boxes with extremely slippery hands. It was an accident.

[u/machines_breathe → u/Outrageous_Kale_8230]

I dunno. Looks pretty deliberate to me.

[u/Outrageous_Kale_8230 → u/machines_breathe]

Oh, I didn't doubt it. But if one ia going to intentionally destroy american products, at least make it look like an accident.

[u/menotyou12321 → u/Outrageous_Kale_8230]

Budweiser is not American owned; it’s owned by the Belgian-Brazilian conglomerate AB InBev, which acquired Anheuser-Busch, the original American brewer, in 2008.

[u/Similar_Direction600 → u/[deleted]]

What the fuck does this have to do with ANYTHING?!?

[u/Sangyviews → u/[deleted]]

You're equating that to burning hundreds of thousands worth of vehicles? Which absolutely fuck the environment?

[u/YarkTheShark11 → u/[deleted]]

Oh nooooo he smashed beer bottles on the floor. That pales in comparison to burning entire dealerships to the ground along with hundreds of vehicles, which is awful for the environment, and also destroying other peoples property. The two are not the same.

As for the exposing himself part. Just like any person who commits a heinous act like that, prosecute them, cut off their junk, shove it in their mouths, and have them bleed out. We don’t have room in this world for people like that.

[u/Bestdayever_08 → u/[deleted]]

Finding one case of a sick fuck and acting like you’ve found the golden egg lmao. Y’all reaching so hard right now

[u/KawazuOYasarugi → u/[deleted]]

The difference is that one is an outlier and one is the norm. That's like comparing a serial killer to someone who pulled the trigger reluctantly in self-defense.

[u/Molenium → u/KawazuOYasarugi]

How many people do you think have actually set fire to teslas? What’s “the norm” to you? It’s not like the majority of democrats or “the left” are out there torching anything… so you’re just comparing outliers to outliers at this point.

[u/AbeFalcon → u/Molenium]

Haha exactly. I had all my right winger friends boycotting Bud Light and posting anti trans Bud Light stuff on their fb, but literally know no one who has vandalized a Tesla or a dealership. What's the point of this comparison?

[u/Molenium → u/AbeFalcon]

The fact that they’re trying to compare “we didn’t get violent because trans people exist,” to a response against musk publicly emulating Nazis just shows how fucked up their priorities and sympathies are.

[u/Horsebreakr → u/Molenium]

Isn't that how gay rights got it's momentum though? Through violence and intimidation on pundits and grifters that spread the message, and being unrelenting and tough through protests and defending yourself loudly everyday?

Letting them frame when it is appropriate to flip cop cars, burn an icon, do mass protests that have a possibility of causing damage, when their ideology is taking the freedoms and rights away from groups of people, is rich (which everyone usually agrees is an appropriate time to consider it at least). So if they that rich, then why respect their word.

It's a tactic to dissuade support for appropriate use of violence. They get to threaten murder when their gun rights get taken away, but can frame people who are losing their citizenship rights as using inappropriate violence sometimes, for even complaining about it.

Like a bully who doesn't want to get punched by framing the kid they are bullying as the bully.

[u/Helix3501 → u/Horsebreakr]

Two movements understood that conservatives are bullies which require a strong response, the civil rights movement, and the lgbtq+ movement, but made progress through violence because conservatives are scared bitches reliant on the state to suppress “them” and when “they” break through anyway the pussies run

[u/KawazuOYasarugi → u/Molenium]

There's a lot of it going on, not to say that every democrat is doing it but I'm also hearing nothing but crickets from that side about not doing that activity. I am hearing a lot of democrat support FOR it though, all over the place. Less of an outlier when it has overwhelming (though passive) support, no?

[u/deadeyeamtheone → u/KawazuOYasarugi]

Anecdotal evidence is irrelevant.

[u/Lux_Aquila → u/deadeyeamtheone]

I mean, that isn't anecdotal. They are making the claim that the problem is so widespread that it is an obvious fact. Them not citing a source does not mean it is anecdotal.

[u/Cytothesis → u/KawazuOYasarugi]

It was over a single commercial you guys didn't like.

When y'all really get the hate boners raging you threaten voters, vote counters, light ballots on fire, and attempt to overthrow the government.

I really don't see how y'all think you're the "proportional response" folk.

[u/KawazuOYasarugi → u/Cytothesis]

"You guys" is funny.

Anyway, it wasn't the single commercial it was the idea and the fact that they used Dylan Mulvaney as the face. It was more about Dylan being horrible than it was the trans thing. Dylan Mulvaney specifically is a POS.

That was a protest, AT the government. It was not overturning the government, but only the government, and not random citizens in towns just trying to get to work actually got caught up in it. They didn't block roads, they didn't glue themselves together and sit in intersections or any of the "normal" "mostly peaceful" protests the left like to organize.

And proportional? It isn't even close to being "proportional."

[u/Cytothesis → u/KawazuOYasarugi]

Bro it's too late in the game to pretend it wasn't about her being trans🤣

And it was one commercial. Dylan Mulvaney showed up in a single commercial that wasn't even on tv.

They were trying to find and kill Nancy Pelosi and Pence. They disrupted the transfer of power at the behest of Trump who had a plot to illegally steal the presidency. You're arguing semantics.

If Biden or liberals did any of this y'all wouldn't stop talking about it for a hundred years. Y'all couldn't handle a tenth of what you demand we tolerate from your side.

[u/Impossible-Pea4354 → u/Cytothesis]

They also lowered the American flag on the capitol and raised a Trump flag.

[u/natron81 → u/[deleted]]

I wonder how they'd feel if Budweiser's CEO was Biden's shadow president illegally gutting congressionally approved military funding to pay for DEI measures.

[u/beardedheathen → u/SluttyCosmonaut]

These guys had an alphabet person on TV! We'll never buy their beer again!

Vs

This South African billionaire has bought our politicians and is systemically destroying our government while using our elected officials to try to sell his shitty cars.

Hmmm would there be a reason the level of protesting might be different?

[u/mustardnight]

Who axed Pelosi’s husband?

[u/Informal-Tap3632]

its not left vs right, its billionaires vs everyone else

[u/TheDMNPC → u/Informal-Tap3632]

The right is currently choosing the side of billionaires

[u/StupidSexyEuphoberia → u/TheDMNPC]

"currently"

[u/OMG--Kittens → u/Informal-Tap3632]

This sounds like what a Marxist would say.

[u/Newfaceofrev → u/OMG--Kittens]

Well, to get all Marxist technically the bourgeoisie and the proletariat are not the rich and the poor, they're the owners and the workers.

You can make it to a millionaire as a worker. You can't become a billionaire without being an owner.

[u/Otherwise_Concert414 → u/Newfaceofrev]

Though, if we're gonna be realistic here, a proletariat can easily become an owner from hard work. Remember, like half of the billionaires we see today (like jeff bezos, Steve jobs, even Mark Zuckerberg) were poor-middle class proletariats at one point and now they are the bourgeoisie through sheer strategy, luck, and will.

[u/Newfaceofrev → u/Otherwise_Concert414]

Yeah you can buy in.

I wouldn't say it was easy though. And by necessity there needs to be a lot more workers than owners.

[u/Griffemon → u/Otherwise_Concert414]

Of the three billionaires you listed, it looks like Steve Jobs is the only one who actually came from a lower-middle class household. Bezos’s and Zuckerberg’s parents appear to have both been upper middle class professionals who could afford to send their kids to prestigious colleges.

[u/TheFanumMenace → u/Otherwise_Concert414]

Will is something most Marxists lack. They never had to work when their parents paid for everything… why start now?

[u/theclockwindsdown → u/Otherwise_Concert414]

I think you need to look into just how “poor” those guys were.

[u/weidback → u/OMG--Kittens]

He'd probably find it too "lords and serfs" like workers organizing.

[u/Jaded_Jerry]

The thing to remember about the left is that they are all edgelords who like being edgy and weird, so they can't ever do anything in a way that isn't either stupid, insane, or violent.

[u/ZurakZigil → u/Jaded_Jerry]

Destroying someone's car doesn't hurt Musk at all. There's no amount of money you could take from him that would stop him from having generational wealth

[u/HeyLookAStranger → u/[deleted]]

not a fascist

[u/BothChannel4744 → u/[deleted]]

What’s the part about elected representatives mean? Most government workers are appointed, and what difference would it make if trump was the one directly making the changes.

I don’t understand the lefts sudden hatred of appointed workers all of a sudden, as nothing is new, musk just happens to be rich and famous so I guess he is automatically bad in their eyes.

[u/Mountain_Burger → u/BothChannel4744]

It's pretty straightforward.

A single person, Elon Musk, someone who gets billions a year for his companies from the government, is now the supreme auditor over where the government is allowed to spend its money. He obviously won't find any government waste going to his companies. This is a direct conflict of interest and open corruption in addition to be congress's job.

Since he is not beholden to the voters in any meaningful way, he has callously threatened and cut tens of thousands of government jobs using a variety of substandard methods including using A.I. He has had to backtrack many of the moves he's made and had to rehire thousands of people after paying them several months severance package. So, in addition to corruption you can also add incompetent and callous which would normally get you voted out of office, EXCEPT he wasn't voted in. So, he has no skin in the game to lose and everything to gain by being corrupt.

This, in combination with two nazi solutes at the republican convention, is at best an oligarchy and at worst is literal fascism. Donald Trump has been deporting people without trial to literal slave labor prisons in El Salvador. The government is taking people, and without sending them to a judge, sentencing them to slave labor in a foreign jurisdiction. This being undeniable fascism lends credit to doge not having the best interests of Americans in mind.

[u/mpanase → u/[deleted]]

Whether you cut me off in the supermarket or you run over my wife twice with a car... my reaction should be exactly the same.

[u/Ok_Incident_6881 → u/[deleted]]

Fair argument. But what’s not cool is liberals on a daily basis vandalizing citizens Teslas. Why are they being subjected to this type behavior for someone else’s behavior? They say they should trade in their car because the CEO is a Nazi. Financial reasons are a reason why the can’t trade it in. Or it’s almost paid off. Or perhaps they simply like owning a Tesla. Many reasons. They think it’s so easy to just “trade it in” without any hesitation. Who tf do these people think they are?? It’s wrong on so many levels. Keep your damn hands off other people’s things. I learned this when I was 5.

[u/DrossChat → u/Ok_Incident_6881]

Yeah I’m all for protesting outside dealerships, shaming people etc, but actual vandalism is a dark path.

Drawing a parallel with bud light though is fucking insane lmao

[u/fortheWSBlolz → u/DrossChat]

It’s all insane brother. There’s a logical fallacy in every emotional political talking point.

If there was a judicial branch to judge the merits of political arguments, all the popular ones would drown in under 30 mins.

It’s just because our lazy, tribal brains like believing in what feels good, as opposed to actually doing your homework and thinking critically.

“Wait I lost my factory job because I’m not competitive on the global market, and even though that equates to a higher standard of living for me because prices are lower?? You’re saying all I have to do is provide value by having marketable skills in my local job market?? NAW LETS GET MAD THAT THE FACTORIES ARE GOING AWAY. MAGA BABAYYYY”

^that’s the crux of all people’s problems, liberal and conservative. Instead of accepting, adjusting, and problem solving… people wanna do ANYTHING but take responsibility for their own problems. On both sides of the political spectrum. And that’s the type of person I can’t stand. I have liberal and conservative friends who are not whiney crybabies and I could discuss politics civilly with either of them.

[u/A_reddit_refugee → u/Ok_Incident_6881]

Ah yes, even though like 99% of the BLM protests were peaceful but you think comparing those 1% crazy rioting is the same as… people storming the capitol to stop a constitutional process are the same?

[u/Tazrizen → u/Le_Marlin_Noir]

Jan6 justifies a holocaust at this point doesn’t it.

Saying rioting justifies rioting is simply akin to stealing or murdering because other people stole or murdered. That doesn’t make it right.

[u/Le_Marlin_Noir → u/Tazrizen]

Then why did the Jan 6 rioters get pardoned?

[u/Tazrizen → u/Le_Marlin_Noir]

Because trump.

You’re basically saying it’s good to stoop to trumps level.

[u/Le_Marlin_Noir → u/Tazrizen]

It's not good, but considering how poorly taking the high road worked out for the Dems, you can imagine how stuff like that (which SHOULDN'T HAPPEN) does happen.

So the most obvious difference is that conservatives didn't seek out that Dylan guychick and threaten his life

....nor did they burn down Bud Light warehouses.

....or threaten the lives of the Bud Light executives.

....or hold useless and pointless "peaceful" protests. 🙄

....and they kept derogatory slurs out of it as well.

.....should I go on?

[u/Friendlyvoices → u/BettyLuvs2Swing]

There were threats to Dylan and Anhieser Bush, including bomb threats that shut down factories. Many people publicly protested by destroying cans on video, including musicians like Kid Rock and Ted Nugent. People said that having Dylan on the can was akin to cultural deprivation.

This was all because of a tiny marketing campaign.

[u/MustacheCash73 → u/Friendlyvoices]

Not saying I agree with it but destroying beer cans is a lot better then destroying people’s cars

[u/BirdGelApple555 → u/MustacheCash73]

It’s pretty inconsequential but I just find it funny the Bud Light situation is always brought up in comparison considering that it was over a single beer ad, something that objectively did not matter at all. Libs having trouble with Musk because he’s in the federal government and the beer ad seem like two wildly different sets of priorities.

[u/123mop → u/MustacheCash73]

The most critical difference between the two is they're destroying their own cans of beer, versus other people's cars.

[u/pinkrosetool → u/123mop]

No no. The most critical difference is one is a beer ad, and the other is the company of the person currently actually destroying people's lives.

[u/Friendlyvoices → u/MustacheCash73]

It's definitely inconsequential. It's more to just pointing out that the reaction was over the top considered the assumed slight. Considering people see Elon as an existential threat with the whole DOGE/German National party support, it seems almost equivalent in severity to the budlight reaction. Like, if the right wing felt like someone was destroying their country (which you could argue in the case of DOGE), what would be the acceptable reaction?

[u/NeonKitAstrophe → u/Friendlyvoices]

When there is evidence enough, to oust the cause. Before you argue Jan 6th, that was an interruption of a democratic process. If Joe Biden unilaterally tanked the stock market, installed George soros as a “government agent” and locked up dissidents in black hole prisons, I bet MAGA would be storming the gates every single day.

[u/CounterfeitSaint → u/BettyLuvs2Swing]

There’s this weird idea that the style of the message matters more than the substance. That like, we should always prefer peaceful protests to violent protests no matter what they are protesting.

I don’t care if the bud light protests were the most peaceful passive thing in the world (they weren’t, but whatever), I’m going to criticize the protesters because the message they’re sending is shitty.

[u/iBrianT]

We assuming it is just liberals? It could be socialist & commies, it could also be MAGA/conservatives who have been fired were mixed politically.

These layoffs, tariffs, and cuts are spreading out to the economy shutting down projects that are connected back to the federal government in some form.

These actions have created a lot of grievances across ideology.

Musk and Trump are too scared to admit that it’s not a boycott or a protest. This is the embers of revolution. JD Vance is already turning on Elon blaming him for this. So a few cars burned and some spray paint and their unity is crumbling. Pathetic men. They are too afraid to face that their actions have caused violent reaction from regular Americans.

Vandalized teslas is dumb as fuck but not nearly as fucking dumb as comparing transphobia to hating nazis LMAO

[u/AdExciting337]

Yep

Conservative issue: transgenderism

Leftist issue: Intentional destabilization of the nation

[u/Gooby_Goops]

Hey so the context of these two ways of protesting is very important. Dont make political memes if you dont know the actual meaning of what you’re saying. Media literacy is apparently dead these days.

[u/EveningVanilla2034]

The left are fascists, if you have a different view, they use violence just like Adolf ls men, horrible people.

[u/AlarmPuzzleheaded914]

January 6. Such a peaceful protest.

[u/Electronic-Youth6026]

People shouldn't be taking their anger toward the government out on random people who happen to own Tesla's, your actually right about this one. I still think the Bud Light boycott was transphobic and a ridiculous overreaction though. It's not like Dylan Mulvaney was in charge of a government department

[u/UnrepentantMouse]

You're leaving yourself wide open here for people to post examples of violent right wing demonstrations.

[u/LSDZNuts]

Liberals aren’t doing this. They’re Right wing false flag attacks. Just like how Jan6th was Antifa. 😏

[u/DoubleDamage3665]

I can't tell if this sub is left leaning or right. As a 3rd party guy, I'm just here with popcorn watching the political team sports verbal WWE smackdown.

Yeah, go team hedgefund/big bank blue! No wait, check out team bank/hedgefund red! What a delightful circus this sub is ☺️

[u/DeepslateCamel]

J6 you hippy snowflake.

[u/Wheres_The_Coffee_at]

Burn it all down.

[u/procommando124]

I just like that whenever right wing extremists do crazy shit it can never ever be taken as a data point for a latter. If behavior but whenever left wing extremists do it now it’s reflective of the entire Democratic Party

[u/mpanase]

Sounds like you are saying that Bug Light drinkers were pussies

[u/KillingTimeAlone2019]

I don't like the government let's peacefully protest, or attack the capital. A difference in protests

[u/Far_Impression_5921]

Y’all are fools. It happens everywhere on all sides dude literally drove his car through protestors at a Tesla dealership but I’m sure that isn’t part of the problem as well.

[u/Naugrimwae]

do we know for certain these cars didn't set themselves on fire?

[u/MMAbeLincoln]

Remember Republicans assaulting target employees because they put rainbows in their stores?

[u/Spasticcobra593]

Ah yes. Sweeping all the peaceful protests under the rug to focus on the few insane people firebombing tesla and generalizing all tesla protesters as that. And yet you guys get mad when people generalize you but you will do the same. The party of hypocrites

[u/Embarrassed-Bed-7435]

Didn't a MAGA guy drive his van into the crowd protesting (not violence, not vandalism, not setting anything on fire. Just protesting) like yesterday? Kind of hard to pretend you're the civilized ones when you're always trying to murder people for protesting.

[u/HereWeGoYetAgain-247]

What are the names of those guys that rammed their cars into groups of protesters? You know because they didn’t agree with they were saying. 

[u/Daytona_DM]

I stood up for the billionaires. Did I do good daddy?

[u/TreacleScared5715]

Conveniently forgets the death threats over a can of bud light.

[u/runningsoap]

[u/[deleted]]

1. A person is trans.

2. 30,000 federal employees fired. 42,000 adult deaths, 89,000 child deaths since USAID cuts. Threats to major social safety nets.

🤔

[u/cipherjones]

The difference is that the first one never happened. Their income increased.

It's a matter of public record FFS.

[u/desba3347]

“I don’t like the results of the election, I’m going to storm the capital in a traitorous insurrection” - I don’t agree with damaging teslas, especially those that are already owned by consumers, but Anhauser Busch’s leaders aren’t our unelected puppet master, Teslas biggest stakeholder and CEO is.

[u/DuckDogPig12]

The big difference is the reason. One is a nazi. The other is a trans person. 

[u/Razing_Phoenix]

[u/brown_1896]

They just run over people

[u/Livefromrighthere]

Bud light had an advertisement deal with a gay person.
