While I am generalizing about your average rabidly proud MAGA Tesla driver, I'm not saying that every Tesla driver is a Nazi.

Your original comment:

Tesla has become the official automobile brand of magastan. When you see one rolling down the road, or more likely stuck in 2 inches of snow, at least you'll know where its owner stands on things like equality and the new national norm of fascism.

You're the one who just pivoted into the Nazi word use. Your original comment was clear. If you call for a false dichotomy, don't be surprised when "true patriots" push back as that rhetoric is what fascists use. I don't want you to drag the rest of us down with you.

I'm going to break this response down.

Lots of rage here, but you know the right answer.

Are you just trolling? No rage, I'm simply pushing back against people who paint people like me as "fascists and fascist supporters" with a broad brush and encourage others to do the same. They're actively making my life worse.

I won't even dignify "you know the right answer" with a response.

I'm a federal employee in the process of losing my career over this shit.

I see you missed that I'm LGBTQIO+. I'm not cishet. I'm in fear for my life and the lives of my partner and friends, so I'm fleeing the country and starting over, hoping the next place doesn't want me to die at some point too. Sorry about your job though.

Your last paragraph is just a big, lazy strawman that similarly suggests you never bothered to understand my previous comments before responding. I wasn't going to respond to it as I'm now quite sure you're just rage baiting at this point, but then realized someone on the fence about thinking like this might be reading.

I've been actively protesting the US decline into fascism for over thirty years. I'm a scientist that worked in public health. I'm disabled and am a disability advocate. I am this "true patriot" you pretend I'm blaming with the radical notion that we...checks notes... not assume everyone who drives a particular vehicle that has been sold for over a decade is a Fascist or fascist supporter since the CEO went mask off as a neo-Nazi in the last few months. That clearly means I'm "hating the haters" and "blaming the true patriots". Clearly.

Edit: just noticed my laptop is still logged into my old .world account. Oops!

Seconded, I use a Define 7 and it's fantastic. Best big black box I've ever owned.

Have you checked out United Allergy Services? They claim to have self-administered allergy shots.

So Google Search, even back in 2000, was an AI?

ROFLMAO

Yeah, he's the classic boomer model of "my point is whatever makes me correct at this immediate moment". Check his comment history for a laugh, he gives people grief for doing the same things he's doing here. No self awareness or integrity whatsoever.

What's funny is how you call someone a coward elsewhere for doing the same. I guess it takes one to know one.

That's a lot of deflection when you could have just said "I am unable to address anything you wrote" and saved so much time.

I don't think you understand what anecdotal evidence means. One person seeing something repeatedly is still anecdotal and of similarly little value when making statements about broader trends.

You didn't link or even reference this media coverage that specifically supports your assertion so yes, for your comment and even this one, the observation is still solely yours. We're not mind readers, we don't know what you're not telling us and, in case you ask, no, we're not going to look it up for you. If you don't provide evidence, people online generally assume you're making it up, and rightfully so.

A boomer thinks their anecdotal experience is indicative of anything beyond their own experience? Shocking.

Grandpa, I think you got lost on your way to Facebook.

Props to the guy who asks if Al Qaeda is woke. These two have to be some of the dumbest people alive.

Watch out, language like that will have idiots ripping out their network adapters next.

Better yet, do both. You can do both!

I'm sure you already know this, but reading through some of these comments makes me suspect others might need the prompting.

"Vote for the lesser of two evils? Bah! I won't vote at all!*"

*and help the fascist who is super pro-genocide get into office. This will definitely help the Palestinians and as a Trump presidency helps the Israelis rain firey death upon them, they will die proud that I stood resolute in my convictions. Their deaths will be worth it!

It's really refreshing. We do have our share of crazies, as my block list can attest, but for the most part people are willing to accept that sometimes situations can be really complicated.

Looks like Reddit is leaking again.
