Is it ok to print Swasticar stickers and stick them on Tesla's parked on the street?

Is it specifically the cybertruck people are calling swastikars, or is it all tesla cars?
Somehow this car looks like Trump
The Nazis didn't use the 'Swastika' per se, they used a specific type of swastika called the hooked cross or hakenkreuz. Calling the Nazi cross a swastika brings confusion and disrespects many cultures where the symbol has a meaning diametrically opposite to that of nazi ideology.
In english the Hakenkreuz was always called swastika. That's the common usage and calling that wrong is pretty pointless.
You make a very good point that i have not considered yet. Thank your for bringing this to attention.
Indeed. Most people don't know what a real Swastika is because of Nazi fuckheads. They don't deserve to be able to continue using the term.
So yes that is all true.
However, the mental link of the name "Swastika" with the Nazis has had 90 years of reinforcement in popular culture.
If you want to perpetuate a meme that annoys Elon and damages the Tesla brand (because I think they still spend $0 on marketing) then:
- "Swasticars" is a very good phrase because it's a portmanteau and everyone (in WEIRD nations) can work it out, have a little giggle, and then spread it as a meme.
- Explaining that it's technically incorrect by going "well actually... (Pushes glasses up)" is not going to help spread the meme and is just being a bit pedantic.

First time I use Google in years. I'm sure they will readily suck my data, in this case my search for "Swasticars".
AI shit. The weapon of our enemy. We don't need it. We don't use it.
Ai is a tool for anybody, but not anybody can use this tool efficiently yet..
And why would you use it to make the fugly cybertruck look cooler than it actually does? In a post satirizing it? Weird approach.
I think the point is that literally anyone and apparently even non sapient entities, can make a better vehicle than musk can.

Who has Elon growing a toothbrush mustache on their bingo cards?
A musktache if you will.
He'll need to get hair transplants first...
I'm swastisure he doesn't give a fuck. This is peak slacktivism, on par with sharing a meaningless chain post on Facebook.
This leads to a "I don't even know who you are..." moment in OP's grand future confrontation with elon.

I am mildly disappointed that we didn't go with SwastiKKKar.
I'm do my best to stop swatzicars. Forever.
Interesting that swatsicars didn't show up in Google searches. I guess we have to keep searching Google.
This looks better than the Cybertruck
I mostly agree but this is stupid
I thought so too!
It also fixes many of the issues with the cyber truck. That one has paint, it hasn't got the stupid unified headlight, which isn't legal in most parts of the world, and it's a more traditional shape which means it would be easier to manufacture.
