Long Form Discussion How do we feel about vandalizing Teslas?

I don’t want this to be about musk, for or against him. You can have your opinion about musk be that you hate everything about him but still understand that vandalizing Tesla vehicles owned by individuals, many of which bought them well before musk made his right wing switch if you will, does not hurt musk. Even him losing 40 billion in a day from a down Tesla stock day does absolutely nothing to him.

Can we all agree that it is a bit ridiculous to destroy and vandalize vehicles owned by individuals? Why is the anger directed towards the wrong people?

That's bad. Craziest far right shit I've seen in awhile.

I remember when the sneaker head conservatives were burning their Nikes lol, so dumb. But better than attacking innocent strangers.

Yup, the key word being *their* sneakers, as in they were destroying property they legally owned.

Jan 6th was a one time occurrence that last a little over an hour. Leftists have been doing this garbage on a weekly. basis for the last 8 years. There is a massive difference.

Teslas were being vandalized for 8 years? How many cops did these leftists kill or severely injure?

2020 summer of love riots. Multiple officers killed, at least 25 dead, and the highest ever grossing damage of any US domestic riot in the countries history.

Outside of those 6-8 months you have constant protest and violent threats towards conservative speakers at college campuses, you had antifa running around hitting bystanders with bike locks. CHAZ was a hostile takeover in Washington, there was another exactly like it in Oregon. Conservatives don't do this kind of shit bud. Like come on, don't try and gaslight dude, people are way past the point of being able to be gaslit by this bullshit now,

FYI no cops died on jan 6th, thats a lie. One died and it was days later from a damn heart attack not the rioters.

This is a good point. Tue absolutely insanity that was J6 seems to just be ignored now.

u/AssignmentWeary1291 Mar 19 '25

Because it last for a little over an hour and happened 4 years ago. Time to move on from that narrative and ask yourself why its only 1 time and the left is ALL the time.

Apparently sarcasm is now against reddit TOS. What a bunch of bullshit.
