          That’s completely different, those are damaging people, not property. You’re allowed to attack people to protect property, you are not allowed to damage property to protect people.

          After all, I own property, but I am not the type of people getting attacked.

        I think you are right that this Tesla boycott is unique, nothing I can remember is even close.
        And what I remember goes back to the 80’s, with the Shell boycott because they supported apartheid in South Africa. That boycott was a huge deal back then. Where there was (light) vandalism, for instance removing the S from their signs, so they said hell.

        But now with Tesla, it’s a completely different league in scope and consequences. Nice to see that there is a line also for ordinary sane people. Because this is definitely a response against the insanity of fascism.

          I have absolutely no issues with the boycott. Elon the Idiot is learning the same lesson that the Ultra Wealthy of the 1920s did; getting publicly involved with politics can cost you a LOT of money. Bezos and Zuckerburg are learning it too. All of these Billionaires are getting a very expensive lesson in why they need to stay out of the limelight.

          Because this is definitely a response against the insanity of fascism.

          I don’t think this has much to do with “fascism”. If this was only happening to Cybertrucks (which are a pretty new model) or only happening at dealerships and so impacting Tesla itself that would be one thing but WTF does someone who bought a Tesla 3 years ago have to do with “fascism”?

          This is a knee jerk reaction to what Elon is doing with DOGE and one group of people is lashing out at another group of people, many of whom having nothing to do with Tesla or it’s front man aside from having bought a product.

            So it is a reaction to Fascism. Perhaps the targets could be better chosen (player 2 has entered the chat), but it is people reacting to the fascist takeover.

            Your take appears very naïve. This is actually a systematic attack against Elon Musk‘s net worth. It appears shockingly effective, it’s still very subdued compared to the hostile takeover that is ongoing in the government. Your longing for proportionality is absolutely misplaced here.

          I can think of many many lives that the Nazi Reigime of America have destroyed. And lives are far more important than property.

          The cars can burn.

          This is happening all over the United States sometimes multiple times per day and being publicly celebrated in various places. I honestly can’t think of a conservative oriented example of private property destruction on this scale to this much cheering.

            to this much cheering

            You’re not going to find this because no one is cheering for white supremacists trying to knock out the power grid because they think it will start a race war.
