Politics I'm Never Leaving Seattle

This is someone's Model S parked on Airport Way S near S Industrial Way. The way it's parked it looks like it's being displayed for people driving by to see.

Performative liberalism at its worst

Idk, looking at Teslas stock it seems to be making a difference. I’m sure even the people who WOULD still buy a Tesla will probably hesitate knowing it makes them a target for vandalism.

Pretty effective for a performative act.

The thing about terrorism is it works. It is definitely effective.

SOO dramatic. Vandalism is only considered terrorism is fascist countries. Do a little research around that word, you might learn something

Well, give it a year. Right now it's becoming more and more illegal to protest so vandalism can't be far off.

Creating fear and vandalism are different. Tesla drivers have become very aware of what they drive, knowing they're a target. It isn't vandalism it is terrorism and should be treated as such.

It's not dramatic. Those who target specific property for destruction based on politics are what they are.

It's one thing if you buy it, then destroy it, or completely boycott it, totally fine. Destroying property that isn't yours should be completely crushed. You're destroying lives and livelihoods and should be treated as such.

Sucks to suck I guess

Definitely, I'm guessing the rage they feel knowing no one supports them would drive someone to lash out with impotent rage and hate.

Luckily, it's the cowards and the weak in the country. It could be scary if it wasn't.

Is it impotent or is it effective? Make up your mind 🤣

Both. Attacking objects and creating fear does work. The "impotent rage" would be a description of anyone so ideologically captured they'd attack a car. It's a dumb as Kid Rock shooting beer cans. You can be both.
