He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Imagine you buy a car and it gets burned down because the owner of the car company turns out to be a Nazi.

I would like Tesla to go bankrupt too but cheering on regular peoples property being destroyed is wrong.

Totally agree and the fucker already got the money. They are just fucking other people's lives. However, we can agree that if you think you're buying a car that someone is going to burn down, then that's a good deterrent to buy them. So I can also see the positive side of things. And all these cars are probably insured against vandalism anyway

Sometimes sacrifices have to be made to get the message across.

also buying a car knowing that elon is a nazi makes the buyers complicit as well.

Imagine parking next to a Tesla and your car becomes collateral damage.

Hopefully they had bubble insurance and now they're freed of their magamobile and can buy something better.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah because insurance companies are run by great people who are known for helping others.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

This is Europe, not USA. We are not getting fucked by insurance companies on a daily basis - only weekly basis.

Sure, I have some sympathy for those who bought them years ago.

But let's not mince words. If you buy a Tesla today, you are literally a Nazi collaborator.

Those who bought a Tesla much earlier were more like one of those few people who bought one of Hitler's paintings during his starving artist phase.

I think Tesla owners should put anti elon stickers on theirbcars

it could've caught fire on its own, it's a tesla.

you should've known that when you bought the car too, before you knew about the nazism.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Yeah ICE cars catch fire 61x more often than EVs.

Facts are important. We want people to switch to EVs. Spreading falsehoods because it helps your own side short term is wrong.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

no we don't. we want people to switch to public transit
