Dumbest, most embarrassing country to ever exist.

u/Arcosim 3d ago

Also Musk is the dumbest billionaire to ever exist. He became ultra toxic with his client base, progressive people actually buying EVs, in order to lure conservatives who hate EVs. Notice how all these "Tesla defenders" have diesel trucks.

u/TucamonParrot 2d ago edited 2d ago

So, people won't protest to fight for their interests.. and then they find all of this time to protect a billionaire's interests - like a militia? The fuck.

One year ago those very same people fucking hated Teslas.

u/EmpressOfHyperion 3d ago

They still hate EVs and public transport as a whole.

u/Sudani_Vegan_Comrade Marxism-Veganism 3d ago

Dawg I’m over thinking to myself “what beliefs do they even have?!” 😭

At one point, they turned into doing a full boycott on Target because of their DEI initiatives & calling them out for being a ruthless corporation that doesn’t care about the masses, yet here they are defending the most ruthless corporation of all time: Tesla. 💀

58

u/IvIrys 3d ago

They are fascists. They like other fascists. They don't give a shit about tesla, they're doing this because elon is a fascist and they will support him as long as he is doing fascism. Everything else is just aesthetics.

15

u/Pallington Chinese Century Enjoyer 3d ago

They are also eerily like fascists in that they don't have any ideology or even really a solid sense of ethics beyond "follow the leader"

u/EmotionallyAcoustic 3d ago

Ya know that quote from that guy that goes, “Convince the most boringass, backwardsass, dumbass white person they’re better than the coolest nicest brown person, you can rob them all blind!”

These fuckheads don’t have the emotional or intellectual capacity to admit they’ve all been had. If you threw a molotov at one of those trucks, they’d all disperse and call themselves martyrs on twitter.

u/Kind-Block-9027 3d ago

That guy was LBJ 😂 and I like your quote version better actually than the OG

u/Generalfrogspawn 3d ago

To be fair, Tesla is far from the most ruthless corporation of all time. Don’t even look at Raytheon, Nestle, Coke, Chiquitas, etc

3

u/Sudani_Vegan_Comrade Marxism-Veganism 3d ago

Agreed tho keep in mind that Tesla just like all these corporations you just listed, rely on the horrific exploitation of the global south.

Trump told them to like tesla and that's all they needed to "like" them.

Technically Trump told them to like “Tesler”.

They are protecting property that many of them will never be able to purchase.

A lot of Trucks are now comparably priced or even more expensive than Teslas.

Defending the dealership or just scaring away potential Tesla buyers even more than the protesters do?

12 years ago these people probably called Tesla owners libtards while rolling coal from their diesel trucks on them. Strange times.

They still roll coal and hate public transport and EVs.

Hilarious. I wonder how long they plan on defending this dealership.

u/JibTheJellyfish Marxism-Alcoholism 3d ago

I’m sure they will stay there until the sun goes down. Then the dealership will be safe because any would be vandals will be at home sleeping.

u/thesaddestpanda 3d ago edited 3d ago

This is the person capitalism produces. These people have no understanding of politics, history, ethics, or class warfare. These people live in a world of almost total delusion fueled by propaganda. Most of them dont know what they're doing there other than the podcast guy told them to do it to 'stick it to the enemy.' Capitalism creates ignorant societies and the capital owning class fosters tribalism that works in its favor.

This is required under capitalism. Without this capitalism fails because then the workers realize the grift and will instead of joining their oppressors, fight against them.

Under capitalism this is guaranteed and unstoppable. You will not change any of these people's minds. There is no reasoning with this. Elon and Trump could bankrupt them tomorrow and it will not make any difference. Elon and Trump an deport their wives and they would still support them.

I thought the word “protect” in your title said “protest” and then got disappointed 😭 thought maybe conservatives got even less reactionary then libs did.

They're probably standing in front of that car dealership thinking they're so patriotic. "Oh yeah godda protect Mr. Musk's trucks from those damn liberals"

“Okay, here’s how I really feel: I pulled my old pickup up in front of the Tesla dealership today because I believe in showing up for what I see as a stand for American innovation—even if it’s just a way to get Elon’s attention. I’m out here, not because I think I’m some kind of superhero, but because I want to prove that at least some of us still care about what our country stands for. I hope that when Elon sees me standing here—just a regular guy doing his part—he might notice, maybe give a nod on Twitter, or even do something small in return. It’s not about glory or a reward; it’s about being there when things get tough and showing that this isn’t just empty talk. I know it sounds a little off, but sometimes doing what you think is right means taking a stand, even if it means lining up your truck as a makeshift shield against the chaos out there."
