Thanks for hurting the environment I guess. Could have just boycotted tesla products and corporate tesla

Some advice for demonstrations (including propaganda of the deed):

  • Wear a ski mask. Wear rubber gloves.
  • Wear anonymous clothing.
  • Don't trust phones. Don't use them to plan, and leave them turned on at home.
  • Use a cell structure to organize, and share info on a need-to-know basis only.
  • Assume there are not only cameras but microphones.
  • Don't drive anywhere near the location of the demo. Ride-haining services are even worse. Don't even cycle in unless you can go off-road.
  • Distinguish individuals' property from corporate property.
  • The goal is to live to fight another day. A fair fight is one in which you don't get hurt.

Not having the phone with you is critical. But I assume planning is done on a laptop or desktop that is obviously not taken with?

Yep, anonymous browsers, burner accounts, and a VPN if you can. Privacy.sexy is your friend too.

You just want to set yourself up as best you can for the defense of "you can't prove that was me."

Tor browser/ I use a VPN most of the time. But for REALLY sensitive shit I turn Tor on. A lot of stuff can be purged off your computer. I use Windows 11 (haven't migrated to Linux yet! Ugh!) but I have some failsafes to reduce my location data and the amount I am exposed. It isn't perfect (nothing is) but it is better than nothing.

multiple is not enough.

Tesla will simply give the people new vehicles. If one wants to really hurt Tesla, don't buy them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Arguably making it a bad to own tesla would cost the company a lot more faster since nobody would want any of them. It is kinda assholish since people bought those terrible piles of garbage since they were told they were green and rich people luxury flex, while they refused to do their research about the vehicle and its innumerable issues.

Honestly dumping the bank owned car you keep in your yard for appearances for cheap would be a good idea since tesla will kill you in an otherwise survivable accident and it will turn off autopilot microseconds before crash in order to blame you.

Oh no! they should be dismantled instead of burned. Some of those electric motors could be put into better use.

It's only ok to be violent if you're a Republican. I'm not supporting this, but since Jan 6'ers were pardoned then these car vandalisms are totally legal too. I think they're equally immoral.

You think the coup attempt that ended lives is just as bad as property damage?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Well the property damage was only in response to the actual violence. So it's like slapping your murderer.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

So you agree they arnt morally equivalent?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Only in the most sarcastic sense.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Glad to hear it comrade
