Society/Culture Elon Musk - Takeover of Twitter?

[jwikked]

You think that’s terrorism.

You should have a look at some videos from j6!!

Of course daddy trump pardoned them.

So does that mean nobody has to take responsibility for their actions moving forward? Are you okay with that?

"It's absolutely domestic terrorism. I know that may discomfort many people. But vandalism is a crime that if it's committed with a political motive, can certainly be defined as terrorism," says Bruce Hoffman, senior fellow for counterterrorism and homeland security at the Council on Foreign Relations. He is the co-author of the forthcoming book, God, Guns, and Sedition: Far-Right Terrorism in America.

He quite literally let convicted felons that tried to kill police out of jail.

Thousands let out of jail

And no - I’d have any one who vandalised or burns cars jailed.

Why are you “whatabout”ing?

 

[kranky al]

Why are you “whatabout”ing?

Because you are blathering about someone setting fires to cars but sit in the side of people who killed policemen.

These things are not the same….

Terrorism and vandalism are different things

Telling that this is the thing that sees some storming back into these threads.

In the eyes of the law, maybe. Functionally they’re very similar.

In who is vandalisation of Tesla vehicles intended to instill fear?

Yeah, beating federal cops with trump flags is the same as scratching a car!
Now that’s some awesome false equivalence argument you have built in your cognitively challenged opinion!

And if the car is in a Jewish neighbourhood?

So we’re equating spray paint on a Tesla with coordinated violence meant to terrorize populations or push political regimes now? That’s quite the leap.

If property damage = terrorism, I assume you’d like to reopen the 2008 financial crisis as an act of terrorism too? After all, millions lost their homes and livelihoods.

Or is it only terrorism when billionaires’ cars get scratched?

The owners of them. Are you so detached that you can’t see that?

The vandalism is to stop people from buying those cars. It’s political terorism.

I don’t understand why you guys are fine with that, it makes no sense. People spend their hard earned money on a car, only for some loser to come alone and damage it - simply because of the badge on the car.

It’s ****ing awful stuff, and you must be broken if you can’t see that.

Nobody here said vandalism is “fine” — it’s illegal and stupid, and it usually undermines whatever message it’s trying to send.

That said, calling it “political terrorism” is… quite the leap. Is keying a Toyota because you hate hybrids also terrorism? Smashing a bank ATM in protest of capitalism? Graffiti on a government building? These are crimes, yes, but terrorism?

Also — you say it’s wrong to damage someone’s property over a “badge.” Agreed. So where was this outrage when people were smashing up Kias or Hyundais during those theft trend videos? Or when someone’s Pride flag got ripped down? Or when trans kids are being targeted with legislation over who they are?

Funny how selective the outrage is. You can be against property destruction and still recognize why Elon Musk — a guy using government as his personal plaything — might provoke backlash. Doesn’t mean you cheer it on. Just means context exists.

Anyway, just curious — if slashing a tire is terrorism, what’s threatening to defund public broadcasting, gut climate programs, or shut down medical research?

There’s a lot of awful stuff happening. Do you think a few Teslas being burned is the most awful?

I literally have seen no poster on here condone it. It’s dumb, it detracts from the point of the protests, and perpetrators deserve what’s coming to them.

Just don’t agree it is terrorism.

 

[jwikked]

To the people who own those cars, it is.

It's not a nice feeling when the car you've spent a lot of money on, was deliberately scratched by someone else. To have strangers deliberately damaging peoples property because they own a Tesla is ****ing insane, and it speaks volumes that there's so many people here trying to minimize that.

Americans pay taxes to the American government, that government should return that income taxed in the form of education, health, infrastructure and wellbeing etc etc.
Denying taxpayers those basic services is terrorism against the people!
Scratching the richest man on the planets product is a form of protest against these basic requirements of governance for the people, in your words…..”It’s ****ing awful stuff, and you must be broken if you can’t see that”.

Their healthcare system has always been a joke, everything else is fine. Nobody is denying any taxpayer any of that.

Someone scratched my car a couple of years ago. I have an ugly scratch on my bonnet. But guess what? It's just a car. A lump of metal that gets me from place A to place B when I choose to use it. It still does that, even with a scratch on the bonnet.

if the worst thing that has happened to people who've had their car scratched is to have that car scratched, they're pretty damn fortunate.
