Novocirab@feddit.orgOPto World News@lemmy.world•Bloomberg: Trump tariffs on Canada lumber risk pinching toilet paper supplyEnglish82·18 days agoThere are still several good outlets, and since they’re badly needed right now, let’s not, well, shit on them.
Novocirab@feddit.orgto News@lemmy.world•Tesla Insurance Rates Set To Spike As Cars Become Vandalism Targets12·27 days agoPlease let us recall the Capitol attack. It was much, much worse, targeting not cars, but people and democracy itself.
(As for Elon, it is important to recall that back then, neither he nor any other liberal magnate had free access to the oval office and his own-or-technically-maybe-not-his-own government agency. His status is wholly unprecedented.)

Not to argue for vandalism, but with the US government illegally detaining and deporting people for saying things that right wingers don’t like, I don’t think the MAGA crowd retains significant reservations about engaging in vandalism themselves – it’s just that so far they haven’t spotted a target where it would serve their cause to do so, and because, with the federal government in their hands, Republicans have much more effective and ostensibly legal methods at their disposal. (Should Republicans be voted out of power eventually, there will most certainly be vandalism from the right, conceivably even widespread violence against people, but this will probably be the case irrespective of whether Teslas keep exploding due to vandalism or only due to bad engineering.)
At this point, a perspective might be that it’s no longer about “a political goal”, but about preventing permanent loss of the ability of the people to achieve anything at all through democratic means.
Still, though: Even with this in mind, it’s utterly true that one should be careful about cheering for any such actions.

Just did it. The chosen domain may be a bit unfortunate though, I think, because it could be punished by many algorithms.
Thank you, that’s very insightful and useful.
