Violent
I didn’t know cars felt pain.
Obligatory Philosophy Tube
- Came here to say this. I guess it could be considered violent because someone COULD get hurt...but I also feel like calling it violent to start is misleading and disappointing.
  
  How to Blow Up a Pipeline is a great book exploring this concept. Why is destruction of private property even considered violence, and why is private property more protected than vulnerable populations? Why does the average person, not owning private property, even consider this dynamic?
  
  The word "violence" hasn't historically been specific to just people. One can get violent with a vending machine or in British English one could say "the reporters did violence to my speech", meaning they twisted the meaning of what was said. Violence is nearly a synonym for damage.
  Beyond that most Media refers to Arson as violence, the fact that they're using the word with property instead of a person isn't unusual or suspicious.
- That statute is bullshit! Just because a corporation has some federal contacts doesn’t mean they need or deserve extra federal protection.
  
  Unfortunately it will probably take a defendant with very deep pockets to hire very good lawyers to defend charges based on the statute…
- Stop. Hammer time.
- How are unsold Teslas "government property"? Oh that's right, they aren't. Fucking fascists.
Elon entering the find out stage. It is yet to be determined if his programming will allow him to actually learn the lesson.
If this keeps up at this rate then it won't be a spike it will be a trend. You want to be trendy don't you?
“I love my car. It’s the safest car,” Ramsdell said. “I’m not going to let somebody else judge me for the car I drive.”
It's not and you are, you've just chosen not to care.
Oh no those poor cars, such horrible violence and suffering caused to these inanimate objects
I mean the craziness of how much power musk has makes me really consider that wild conspiracy about how musk hacked the election could be true.
- Not a conspiracy when Trump literally says Elon helped secure states like Pennsylvania.
And just like that, worrying about climate change has become a thing of the past.
- ridiculous statement, you can hate Elon and Tesla, while caring about climate change. You may not be aware there are other electric vehicles not associated with Nazis. Right now, Elon is pushing for changes that increase climate change by supporting the Trump administration. Dealing any kind of social and monetary blow to Elon and his companies would hopefully discourage him from continuing his actions.
  
  Forget climate change, have you considered the amount of toxic chemicals released into the atmosphere by burning down even one of these vehicles?
- The time for worrying has passed it's time to prepare and hold on
