Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I bought mine 6 years ago. I'm going to get rid of it but had to change plans because my son's car just died. I wouldn't blame anyone that vandalized my car. It should be expected.

Mine has been debadged for years but I just put BYD badges on it. I doubt too many people will know what that is but I hope someone gets a chuckle.

Here's a thought... Pre-vandalize it.

Get some white paint that won't damage your car, and write "Fuck Musk", or "Swasticar" so it looks like it's been keyed into your paint. Maybe grab a quality "cracked window" decal and slap it on the glass. Finally, take your bumper covers off.

Then when (or if) this shit cools off, you can just wash the car, peel the decal and re-attach your bumper covers.

And then park it front of a Tesla sales center?

I have a friend that does EV conversions of RAM Promaster vans. I wouldn't mind using my car to do a conversion and then build it out for a class b camper van.

This mentality is frighteningly close to one that justifies vandalism on businesses because they use temporary foreign workers. I don’t condone the destruction of private property owned by the rank and file of life. It should be directed at those who are doing actual harm

It should be directed at those who are doing actual harm

They are doing actual harm, by not being afraid of any association, regardless of how weak, to a fascist.

Yer heart is in the right place.

I hope you can gain perspective.

[–] ubergeek@lemmy.today 3 points 4 hours ago

So, the time has come that people need to ask themselves: Are they willing to be associated with a fascist, in any way? If they are ok with that, why?

[–] reiterationstation@lemm.ee -1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

No one cares what you do or don’t condone. You’re no one.

[–] rex_meatman@lemm.ee 1 points 4 hours ago

And neither are you in the grand scheme. However what you are condoning will just radicalize the message and have it not resonate with those who’s help we will need in the future if this collapse actually comes about

[–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world -1 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

It should not be expected. Its ok to say that. Nobody has any fuck up your property.

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

You do you I guess.

[–] reiterationstation@lemm.ee -2 points 4 hours ago

It’s okay to say we don’t agree with you either. Deal. With. It.
