*Every* Tesla in drivable condition is an implicit endorsement and *advertisement* for fascism.
I don't care when you bought it. Distance yourself. People should feel ashamed to support Nazis.
Make Evil Unfashionable Again.

Edit (because I'm getting the same few responses and a bunch of personal attacks):
1. "Not everyone can just afford a new car."
> No shit. Buy some #FuckMusk bumper stickers—they're cheaper than a new Tesla.
> You do have car insurance, right?
2. "So I'm supposed to burn my Tesla?"
> No! that's fucking stupid.
3. "So am I supposed to just sell it to someone? What does that accomplish?"
> Now it's not your Tesla getting vandalized.
> Used car lots exist (and have the added benefit of tanking the resale value, making new Teslas even less attractive).
Bonus: "Some people bought Teslas before we knew Elon was a shithead. It's not fair to attack them."
> Musk was *always* a piece of shit.
> See above about bumper stickers.
> Don't attack people. That's fucked up. You are not your car.
> Protests are inconvenient, but thoughts, prayers, and strongly-worded letters weren't working.
Are those people in #Capitalism #Consumerism #Banks etc not all helping #Fascism also, not just Teslas?
@alice Are people out there in #Capitalism / #Consumerism / #Banks etc not helping #Fascism also as a product?
It's wider umbrella of products under #authoritarian #hierarchy right ? (if not all of it?)
Some people less intentionally helping but it's all part of it and not just Tesla's?....
People are ignorant spenders so all round maybe people don't see these #financial things as #Fascists - but also on other levels isn't it similar ignorance?
To a big level most people have similar fascistic tendencies or positions of inaction / indifference which is letting fascism grow if not aligning with them, while staying silent / without action and knowing what bad people do... all their #money / #tax / #consumption / #banks funding #wars on both sides etc...
So being #Capitalist / thinking money or #Capitalism is "ok" is NOT OK...
If a person doesn't act on their complains then they are much as to blame (to some degree / higher degree over time ⌚ )
Even if it's not their fault or choice that everything by default has been developed by #design to feed bad things. still they need to work on something else or *do something* regularly and never let that go without effort.
Not acting is part of supporting #fascism at some point when after day 1 or day 1000.
Are people not seeing it's themselves also more than just #Tesla, but almost everything by #design or even the #supermarket and chain of suppliers that do the bad work to magically bring you all the range of #crap that you buy ?
(Don't mean to sound like I'm saying "everything" but literally / really by design Capitalism has made it that way over time helping #fascism in various forms - right?)
Fascims - Even Victims Being Part of It (willingly)...
Sorry that's much like partially shooting yourself in the foot and then blaming rich people / bad leaders.
So you if you don't see Banks as bad / funding wars - there is something seriously wrong. If you're keeping money there and going to protest - no matter how hard you #protest your money is with them and doing bad things overnight.
(Appreciate the reply by the way / let's try work on this)
I know alternatives are seemingly few or hard to do but don't let that stop you trying for those things and not just protesting -
*This* more-human part or real #boycott is part of the REAL "protest" (I.E. other protests are real but THEY ARE *JUST PROTEST* as in 'asking' / begging constantly for them to change.
Protest in many senses we know is low change / 💯 % not going to happen (a lot of protest in history!) so by not moving what power / money (or things similar) out of their control / abuse) this is basically not clever protest
(measurably not just my opinion - there is a direct power construct to paying for #war and #bad things).
I don't think you got it as much as this above (with respect) so I'm adding this...
I'm saying yes to your list as partially good but not physically changing enough in core areas. (d it all but don't avoid the more core things and not just 'support' stuff which will be infinite unless your change the core).
The picture (newer version + others added) was trying to show we are born into all this / part of the system and showing you (the public) are part of it's thinking too if you are thinking you are not part of fascist structures (the whole #State and #Bank #hierachy / #authority / #monopoly).
I know you don't want to label yourself / agree you're part of #fascism BUT if people are using banks / bad maths / cheating systems and think it's ok and just neutral numbers paying each other less calue THEN YOU ARE PART OF FASCISM AND NEED TO COME OUT OF THAT THINKING!...
VICTIMS
*I do blame* victims AFTER they know this and continue. While all victims should have a chance and need time - some are WAY TOO COMFORTABLE and went into settling for it.
No longer victim here as bourgeois (LOTS of people here very comfortable)... *and they* play their part in I'm a victim by going to the same theater or opera / shops / institutes / city.
And they think all people online are doubtful - might as well did you're own grave that way.
When the crowd pays to go in and boo the actors and want to pay bad people for their goods (and then complain). Just playing into it too much.
So there's a measurable limit even to "victim" I'm sympathetic for (to a limit), but not settling comfortably into and not even in blaming-mode constantly helps (which is a lot of #Fediverse too).
They spend 100's of hours (go check all the hashtags - again it's measurable) - but nearly nothing on forging friends... all the Tech people work on machines, code and then blame #Musk for using it. Short examples like that (more of a long chain but you get the picture).
"It's not our fault we don't like giving time to other humans online or offline and play with PlayStation Linux all day, all our life..."
#Trump #Musk bla bla bla hashtags and near-0 on building #trust / #friendship / giving #time to random people here between themselves. And poor you now getting a long detailed reasoning you might avoid replying.
Just blame and #caturday cat pics?
Na. Not working.
HOPE THAT'S CLEARER FOR YOU!
🧑🤝🧑 + 🏦 🤑 = FASCISM HIERARCHY / AUTHORITY / POWER / MUSK or whoever
Even using #Amazon back ends to fuel instances without non-interactive human instances to change... is passing time like watching one-way TV news and never using ourselves / adding others almost whoever they are.
SO WHAT NOW -
Let me know where we can go for participating in circles...
Let me know what you think of each part of this.
We're all recovering but #Mastodon etc as a #social engine is largely empty software without a kind of department dedicated to actually doing social on any deeper level than complaining - an organized social - not one way stuff ... our stuff - 2-way into deeper things, not just text but audio chat that people can dedicate to every days as part of the whole #therapy of life. And create our way out of it into the new (not spread their crap).
My whole #FreeSchool account shows I've genuinely tried to find and #failed to find much and many are not interested.
I appreciate your reply and this isn't damning you or to win in the end an argument...
....unless you choose to end it here.
About resources:
I think it is more #emotionally yes and not having will-power needs working on to encourage each other (hence having chats with people and not necessarily having to say everything but enough to really push past alone-ism)- time seems plenty for many (you can tell but their profile posts)
It's the #will or constancy in others encouraging / asking for / seeing and accepting others as imperfect (naturally) and not being so doubtful - as that scuppers any chances too.
Wwithout even testing people out people have resigned / accept fascism and even play their part.
Part of the answer we need to do is in testing and solving real communication - no more bashing #trump #ETC.
Agree? / Disagree?
Want to work on it?
