Law Tesla Cars are being lit on fire

One of the worst things about this whole debacle is that a genius like Nikola Tesla is having his name dragged through the mud.

I think that if you're having to go back 250 years to find a single example that fits your narrative, you don't have a strong argument.
I don't advocate using violence to oppose government policy unless the government itself is using violence.
And I absolutely do not advocate violence against an individual or their property.
Owning a Tesla isn't an endorsement of Elon Musk.

So property destruction for political reasons was okay 250 years ago?

 

[Ares Black]

Maybe, but I think he wants to be the guy "fixing" the country more than he wants to be the richest man alive - as long as he is still extremely rich.

He certainly wants people to think that's what he's doing

I clearly stated that I DO NOT advocate violence to oppose government policy.
I didn't think it needed to be said twice.

90's Ed Norton is our guide. It only took us 25 years to come full circle.

Can't wait to see the lefties all run out and become degenerate poker hustlers and eventually (heaven forbid) serial killers with multiple personality disorder

They are already hulking out ITT like 2000s norton

@nixkid, apologies my last reply came off badly.
I'm not trying to be a nob

The really confusing part of this is that the people doing it are supposedly the same people thst care about the environment and that is certainly bad for the environment.

Same bunch as the insurance is evil and exploitive . Now? Its Oh they should have had insurance. Or its fine burn it.... they have insurance.

I accept your concession.

I'm sure you can find many examples between now and then where destruction of property is a legitimate protest against a government. And many examples where is certain people took the American route, things might have ended up better for certain people.

I was only pointing out that our country was founded with such a protest and we've been quite proud of it since.

He has the same security. The highest level possible.

Not promoting. I hope he works through his emotional problems and starts to actually use his wealth and power to help people instead of to enrich himself and advance his fascist agenda.


But it doesn't seem like that's likely, so he will continue to be despised by millions. And rightfully so.

He's also obese and has a serious drug habit, so he might take care of that himself.

Better than Trump. I'm sure he has 0 DEI hires on his security team.

He was despised for changing twitter and the left has been rooting for his downfall ever since.

Yes, changing Twitter is why he is hated.

Where does American History X Norton fit into this timeline? I'm not that familiar with his work

You can't accept something I never offered

It's implied because you refused to honestly respond to my direct question. You don't need to offer it.

 

[PainIsLIfe]

I don't think he cares about anything but obtaining more wealth. Everything he's done from demanding a $56 billion pay package from Tesla to going after OpenAI is consistent with that notion.

All that is needed is for him to realize that this is a very poor investment.

If it was just about building more wealth then he wouldn't have done the things he did with Twitter.

You don't think he knows that he'd have more billions without being involved with Trump? Kamala would have probably given him half a billion for an endorsement alone.

That is not a concession.

Yes it is. If you refuse to engage with the premise and try to divert, you're dishonest and conceding that the response to my question would not help your argument.

Would you like to bring up the definition of the word concession?

No I'm fully aware. You made an implicit concession.

Do you need me to explain it to you again?

 

[Hugh G Rection]

Yes it is. If you refuse to engage with the premise and try to divert, you're dishonest and conceding that the response to my question would not help your argument.

Also, my replies in this thread were relevant to the topic and they answered your question.
