Tesla's do add trauma to minorities and others/ allies lives because of what Elon and Trump stand for compared to what they stand for. If they see a whole road field with Tesla's that probably affects people the hardest, compared to it being just a smaller few Tesla's in another road.
These protesters, do not want any nazi getting influence. So they'l likely act quickly with a lot of emotion out burst without thinking things through or having empathy for others.
However by targeting cars that were already bought, they're not putting much of a dent in Elon's sales. For actual change they should change where they are targeting. Such as car dealerships. For their cause they get two in one, reducing Elon's possible profits and not potentially hurting innocent people. Fires can spread to other houses if left unattended and that can be so dangerous.
Cars don't do that at all. People do that. Not cars. A car is a vehicle to get from one place to another. People really need to fucking get over shit if seeing a fucking car creates trauma. That's total BS. If someone is so fragile that seeing a Tesla causes them trauma, then they need professional help.
These protesters are Nazis. They are writing Nazi symbols and words on bricks and leaving the bricks around. Imagine if Lemmy found out that republicans were doing that.
So there's no difference. If you are writing nazi symbols on stuff and leaving that in a jewish neighborhood, then you are a Nazi. Just because someone is a democrat doesn't excuse them from being a Nazi.
These "protestors" are actually just trying to make their hate justified by saying they are protesting. No, they're displaying hate and the get emboldened by stuff they see online, so they think it's ok to do. Very similar to how people fell for the Nazi bs in Germany.
Protesters are saying the same thing about maga essentially, that maga is very similar for how people fell for Nazi bs in Germany. Why does it seem however there are more of these protesters then the maga protesters. These protesters aren't just vocal but are usually in large numbers of them that support this. Could it actually be a majority of the people speaking? If so, then that might just be where society is at now.
Over the decades the beaf against republicans, conservatives with a lot of people has been brewing. Right leaning politicians and etc have been telling people how they wanted them to live and not to live for a long time.
They are. Funny how they can think it's ok to say that about "other" parties and viewpoints, while ignoring the exact same thing happening in their own spaces.
Yes, and the majority voted Trump in.
Which is just as wrong as left-leaning politicians (and Lemmy!) telling people how they want them to live, which is what they are doing now. By placing nazi bricks on cars in jewish neighborhoods, restricting free speech, etc. I know. I have the bans to prove it--which just make me laugh! lol
When I was saying majority I was talking about those protesting against maga and trumps decisions in these protests. Wait so are you saying you had bans from telling people not to live; as a conservative or?
No, I've been banned because some liberals on Lemmy think there's only one acceptable way to live. And it's their way.
The same people who preach about “diversity,” “tolerance,” and “open dialogue” are often the ones who shut down opposing views. I’ve been banned just for posting news articles that lean conservative, and in some cases, people assumed I was someone else entirely.
A lot of users think I’m a guy called Universal Monk, even though I looked him up and he’s actually a socialist—and not even banned from Lemmy. He still posts on Lemmy, yet they think I am him. But with a different name, political slant, and interests. Ok...
Anyway, because some users think I’m him, and disagree with his views, they ban me. Feel free to right-click my name and see "moderation history." You'll see all my bans are because they think am an alt of "UM." I'm not, but meh, it's fucking Lemmy, so it is what it is. :)
Even though I’ve never advocated violence, never pushed intolerance, and only post content to relevant communities. I’ve even been banned from non-political communities just because I posted conservative news in conservative spaces. That’s literally banning someone for posting appropriate content where it belongs. They are looking my post history up, decide that since i post conservative news articles to conservative news communities, that I must be evil and ban-worthy. lol
It’s hypocritical. The very behavior liberals accuse conservatives of—intolerance, censorship, gatekeeping—they’re guilty of doing themselves, especially on Lemmy.
I'm just clarifying for my argument though. In the end, none of this matters in the real world. And it doesn't really bother me that much.
This is just an online forum that other people seem to take way too seriously though.
Same kind of mindset I think these protesters are in. They are taking shit way too personally. As in, "Hey I hate Trump. Trump likes Musk. Here's a Tesla. Let's fuck it up!" It's cringe and stupid.
What if republicans started fucking up cars that had a "Harris" bumper sticker on it? Would that be celebrated? lol
Probably wouldn't be celebrated, but they protestors and any backers/supporters.allies let the world know that republicans were doing that, with multiples news articles posts, and news stories social media posts how bad the republicans were to their cars.
The protesters probably would look at it as some form of drastic nazism, which is dangerous for minority groups and respond as such. And, these protesters are protesting over individual rights compared to the republicans appearing to be..: advocating for suppressing certain individuals rights?
Meh, I think Lemmy would celebrate. Look at how much they celebrate Luigi. And that dude committed murder!
But back to subject of article, I think these protestors who get caught, pretty much regret their choice immediately.
I protested something when I was in college. I was protesting them shutting down a diversity program that I was actually co-lead of. I 100 percent expected to get arrested for it and even had plans for my mugshot. lol
Nothing happened tho. No arrest. And the program wasn't saved. My point being, if you are gonna do something like this, then proudly take the heat. Don't hide your face and say you were just going through a rough time like this woman did.
I do suspect they regretted it, but some of them probally finds ways to get out early, sometimes legal systems will literally hand certain prosecuted criminals ways out. What got you to change, or had you changed from supporting those diversity program? If you were protesting for them shutting it down. Or are you a conservative person that support these diversity programs. Or is it a completely different type of diversity programs then what we're talking about with todays politics?
I haven't changed at all. I still support diversity. Many conservatives support diversity. There are conservatives of all colors. My neighbors are black and they all love Trump. I'm bi-racial myself.
Who was removing the diversity programs? Or trying to back then? Oh I get it now, you support diversity but not the equity and inclusion. I knew there was probably something.
It was just budget cuts.
I have no issues with equity/inclusion. It should all be wrapped under diversity.
