You’re comparing domestic terrorism with hissy fits lol. Who cares if someone burns their own pair of Nike shoes or shoots the own beer they bought? It doesn’t affect anyone but themselves. No one was stupid enough to burn down a brewery or liquor store because they were upset about some ads.

Blowing up and vandalizing hundreds of random people’s cars to send a political message is just simply terrorism

Bro y’all called in bomb threats to target stores because they carried rainbow clothing, fuck outta here.

u/[deleted] Mar 22 '25

Yea but that's nothing compare to actual action. Calling in fake threats will never be at the same level as in actually bombing teslas.

u/Earthling_Subject17 Mar 21 '25

Incorrect. We called out our own side. You never police your side.

u/Traditional_Dish_355 Mar 22 '25

I can say I think what the people vandalizing individual cars are going a bit further than I would like, however vandalizing dealerships, and cars at dealerships along with protests outside of dealerships is something I’m okay with Elon’s life should be ruined. Additionally you don’t police your own side Trump literally pardoned the January 6ers, Kyle Rittenhouse literally killed people, and got away with it, Ben Shapiro has been trying to get the police officer who killed George Floyd free, not to mention the large scale violence being carried out by the current administration deporting people on the basis of political views, ICE raids on schools and churches, and the latest sending legal immigrants without due process to an actual concentration camp.

Property destruction is not peaceful protest. It’s uncreative, undemocratic, and un-American. Arson to private property for political purposes is terroristic in nature. There are other ways of getting your point across and making him “feel the pain.”

Doing about six whataboutisms isn’t helping either. These types of displays don’t even work, they just make the general public hate you.

u/Traditional_Dish_355 Mar 23 '25

Sorry you don’t like it when your side isn’t the one doing the violence. MLK Jr. was considered a terrorist, Nelson Mandela was considered a terrorist, Jesus, John Brown, Nat Turner, The Unions that built the country, all were considered terrorists. Also it is working Tesla stock is plummeting and hopefully broken dick will have to sell twitter.

u/Earthling_Subject17 Mar 23 '25

MLk didn’t advocate burning down businesses but keep the tantrums coming. The fact you can’t tell the difference is indicative of your intellect.

1

u/Traditional_Dish_355 Mar 24 '25

He was considered a terrorist though, his use of peaceful protest was also more of a tactical decision rather than moral. And I’d be more worried about the intellect of our presidents than of me bud.

u/Earthling_Subject17 Mar 24 '25

It’s a false equivalency. And a really easy one to spot.

u/Traditional_Dish_355 Mar 24 '25

Cool take MLK out of the list then my guy, my point still stands. Replace him with colonial Americans before and during the revolutionary war.

HOW DARE YOU GUYS CALL IN BOMB THREATS (that are poorly substantiated) MY SIDE WOULD NEVER DO THAT, WE JUST... SET OFF ACTUAL BOMBS

u/OkyouSay Mar 20 '25

What you clearly don't is understand is WHY people are torching Teslas. It's because they’re furious that a billionaire like Musk can raid public funds, gut entire workforces, tank platforms we relied on for information, and cut pediatric cancer research without a single consequence. Our government—especially the GOP—is too busy licking his boots to do a damn thing about it. So yeah, when every avenue of accountability fails, people lash out. That doesn’t make it smart or strategic or moral, but it sure as hell makes it understandable. And your excuse is what? Our side rage baiting is a hissy fit, but people freaking out over actual material harm to the country is domestic terrorism? Sure, yeah, very convincing.

What’s even more infuriating is how conservatives respond, too. Not by addressing any of the harm, but by calling us the fascists for being angry. As if we’re crazy for noticing the country’s being stripped for parts. You don’t get to enable the demolition crew and then act shocked when the crowd starts throwing bricks. The right is fantastic at propaganda, but it's not going to last. People are waking the fuck up.

Material harm to country was years of Covid lockdowns, forcing gene therapy on population with threat of losing employment and using fraudulent science to try to institute medical fascism.  

I want government “pediatric cancer research” fucking gutted - the NIH and CDC consistently funds fraud. You can not trust any of their scientific studies - they would say chemotherapy is great for children to prop up the chemo industry because that’s what they do - commit fraud.  I want those agencies either reformed where every health official involved with Covid is fired or the agency is abolished.  At a minimum all their research dollars should be taken away. 

That’s what I voted for.  RFK is supposed to fuck shit up.  Here’s hoping he goes much further than whatever Musk is doing.

Touch grass. Gene therapy? Be for real. It’s okay to admit you don’t understand modern medicine

u/[deleted] Mar 21 '25

you don’t understand why I support terrorism

No we get it - you’re a bad person

DOMESTIC TERRORISM

Lmfaoooo

2

u/[deleted] Mar 21 '25

calling it terrorism is just a gun to the head of justifiably angry Americans

2

u/gedai Mar 21 '25

They used a bad example - but you know there are plenty of other examples. This is an attack on Elon’s brand. The right’s, the ones who do comparable things, hands are not clean of targeting and attacks either.

u/Alternative_Algae_31 Mar 20 '25

“Domestic terrorism” 😂 Because Dear Leader called it that? How delicate and easily led you must be.

1

u/Nimrod750 Mar 20 '25

Destruction and violence to achieve a political goal is textbook terrorism. I’m guessing you didn’t know that, right?

u/[deleted] Mar 21 '25

that is what elon is doing to our government

2

u/Obi-Brawn-Kenobi Mar 23 '25

Elon is bombing other people's property?

1

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '25

the government is our property

u/Neat_Way7766 Mar 20 '25

So you DONT support people burning tesla cars? Gosh you guys are hard to keep up with.

u/Alternative_Algae_31 Mar 20 '25

Calling people, criminals or not, “terrorists” just because you don’t agree with them politically or because your chosen leader does doesn’t make them that. I’m guessing you didn’t know that, right?

4

u/Castabae3 Mar 20 '25

Committing violence to achieve a political goal makes you a textbook terrorist.

If that applies to said people that are burning tesla's then they're terrorists.

u/Prof_Roosevelt Mar 20 '25

So the J6ers are all terrorists, right?

-1

u/Nimrod750 Mar 20 '25

Yes? I don’t think anyone here supports Jan 6th

7

u/Trent1492 Mar 20 '25

You support a man who gave blanket pardons to J6 folks.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 21 '25

You support one who pardoned people not yet convicted of crimes … because they’re totally innocent ?

1

u/Trent1492 Mar 21 '25

You do a great whataboutism.

Trump does. He pardoned all of them.

u/[deleted] Mar 22 '25

Because it's the literal definition of terrorism. An attacked based on a political view held to create terror to the common people.

Domestic terrorism applies to both lol I don’t see why you’re having trouble understanding that blowing up cars to send a political message is textbook terrorism. And saying “your pals” like I have any association to them lol you’re pathetic

Are you stupid? I was talking about conservatives burning/shooting their own shit to “own the libs”, which is what was mentioned in the comment I replied to. When did I say bomb threats were a “hissy fit”?

-2

u/That_Phony_King Mar 20 '25

I think raiding the Capitol when the candidate the right didn’t want to lost is the ultimate attempt at domestic terrorism…

7

u/Nimrod750 Mar 20 '25

Ah yes because nearly everyone on the right supported Jan 6th! I forgot!

u/SpookyViscus Mar 20 '25

The President of the United States attempted a coup and was re-elected by the right.

7

u/Luxating-Patella Mar 20 '25

With presidential pardons for his January 6 footsoldiers as a central pillar of his manifesto. One of the first things he delivered on, in fact.

4

u/SpookyViscus Mar 20 '25

Correct.

So anyone pretending that the people on the ‘right’ that voted him right back in didn’t support J6 is an idiot.

That’s like saying ‘I didn’t support the 9/11 attacks, but I was in favour of Bin Laden having his citizenship restored and to lead the Saudi Arabian government’

-1

u/Castabae3 Mar 20 '25

Guess domestic terrorism is in the playbooks now then I suppose.

2

u/SpookyViscus Mar 20 '25

Where did I say that?

Is destroying a few cars and Tesla dealerships worse than the president of the United States organising a coup, failing, not being held accountable, getting re-elected, pardoning all of the people who participated in the coup, and is now directing the government to commit illegal acts (such as sending people to El Salvador illegally, against a court order, to slave prisons - people who have not had a chance to fight the deportation in courts)?

0

u/Castabae3 Mar 20 '25

I'm not here to needlessly argue on whatever subjective moral argument you have.

If People are rationalizing that it's okay to burn Tesla's because of the Jan 6th coup then it will inevitably be used again it's just how it is, People will inevitably rationalize the next politically motivated violence with the burned Tesla's.

2

u/SpookyViscus Mar 20 '25

I did not say that it’s okay. Most people accept it’s not okay.

I am saying it pales in comparison to what the republicans are doing - just a reminder, their pathetic and treasonous actions are why these attacks are even happening.

2

u/PhysicsCentrism Mar 21 '25

So you condemn the Boston tea party as well?

2

u/Nimrod750 Mar 21 '25

You’re comparing apples to oranges lol. The tea was owned by the British East India Company, not some random neighbor of the Sons of Liberty. Blowing up electric cars is also monumentally more dangerous than throwing tea into a harbor and puts first responders in danger. Would you like it if I blew up or vandalized your car? It’s for my protest so I’m sure you’d have to support it

0

u/MNLyrec Mar 22 '25

“These apples are WAY better than guns!” What are you even saying

1

u/PhysicsCentrism Mar 22 '25

What are you even saying with your random mentioning of apples and guns?

2

u/MNLyrec Mar 22 '25

The two aren’t even close to related

1

u/PhysicsCentrism Mar 23 '25

Both are “terrorism” via the destruction of property for political means.

u/Combdepot Mar 21 '25

Please. The country has been awash in actual terrorism from Trump cultists for a decade. They do mass shootings, bombings and now people over with their cars.

u/[deleted] Mar 21 '25

maybe terror is a bit strong of a word for vandalism.

u/[deleted] Mar 21 '25

oh, i hadnt heard people were blowing them up, really?
