The hate boner for musk is so hard, that some people now fail to see that burning other people’s cars is a problem.

So, you'd be ok with someone wearing a Nazi pin, because "It was their grandpa's"?

Im gonna put it this way, I'd be OK with not burning down someones house because their their grandpa was a nazi and they lived in it before. Also, not even remotely comparable, get your head out of your ass.

[–] ubergeek@lemmy.today 6 points 6 days ago

Yes, I'd be ok with that, especially if they flew nazi flags "To memorialize paw paw"...

Which is basically the same thing as torching other Nazi symbols, like Teslas. Because it's always acceptable, as a matter of community defense, to destroy Nazi iconography and property. Get your head out of your ass.

I feel like a place to live isn’t a fair comparison but if we were to use that, can we burn someone’s house down if they bought their house from a known Nazi, and also knowingly made that Nazi a profit he could use to oppress people?

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

I'd bet that's already widespread in America lmao

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (2 children)

What if they were a Nazi because Papa Was a Nazi? Can I burn their house down then? Please tell everybody what's acceptable. Be the Arbiter for the world. To what level are we allowed to defend ourselves against fascism?

[–] silverlose@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago

I’m also curious. What’s okay for us to do and why?

[–] Necroscope0@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

Burning some random persons car is not defending yourself from fascism, lol. How stupid can you get? People are mad at Musk so they are trying to burn down anything associated with him. If anything you dumbshits are encouraging people to join the fascist side. You think someone who does not care either way is going to get their car burned by a Musk hater and all of a sudden think "Damn, you know what? Musk really must be a Nazi if someone burned my Tesla. I am going to join the cause~!"

Idiots are making more people join the other side with these misdirected angry outbursts against innocent folks. Especially since most of them bought them back before everyone knew Musk was a crazy Nazi.

Lets just burn all the VW's too they were literal card carrying Nazi's. Who cares if it was 80 years ago these new owners should be punished! Driving a car made by a Nazi is driving a car made by a Nazi eh?

[–] ubergeek@lemmy.today 4 points 6 days ago

We are talking about current behavior, rigjt now. Not 80 years ago...

My arguments are moronic, lol. Hard to believe you can even say that with a straight face. Fine you all want more people to join the other side obviously no argument from anyone is going to change your minds. Enjoy losing this war, whatever. No point in arguing, you are as bad as the MAGA fools when it comes to realizing when you are wrong. Anyone who disagrees with you is obviously wrong no matter what because you just can never be wrong about anything. Damn that sounds familiar.

There is no way that burning random peoples cars is going to do anything except make more people pissed at our side and push more people into Trumps arms. This is one of the stupidest things we could do. Burn the dealerships that is awesome, burn down Musks house even better. Burn down aunt millies Tesla? Pointless and counterproductive. You all sound like a bunch of pissed off teenagers. No logic, just anger.
