Hate to tell you this but all car OEMs are run by goblin-ass bastards.

If the car fits your needs, don't let the dude sway you from it. You'll find it to be pretty exhausting to find something that fits your desire perfectly without any issues.

The important thing is to support EVs to help normalize them and drive them forward. I'm sure your ideal EV will be out there eventually, maybe that company feels it's risky to do so right now.

Like Amazon undercutting dipers to take over and then raise the prices. China is doing similar on the scale of nations. They want to be the next US in 50ish years. They're using economics to do it.

China is intentionally undercutting the rest of the world in clean energy tech, to establish a global monopoly. They see how important it will be, and want the world to be dependent on China for its energy.

Walked right into that one lmao

Never let people in your country forget that there is nothing special about their nationalism and their particular flavor of rightwing xenophobia. It is all the same product just with a slightly different shitty label plastered on depending on where in the world you are.

Rightwing ideologies that traffic in dehumanizing groups of people are all violent, they ALL lead to the same place the US is rocketing towards.

I think one of the best ways to fight violent rightwing ideologies obsessed with exclusion, austerity and seeing everything through a zero sum framing no matter what, is to loudly point out to everybody around the periphery of these ideologies that they haven't stumbled on a new idea, the words they are saying are the same broken record playing in the US and elsewhere.

Call toxic rightwing violent men who pride themselves in projecting whatever identity they identify as The Original or The Superior shitty cheap knockoffs of US rightwing culture. Other them from their own context by pointing out there isn't any actually unique localized identity to their beliefs beyond a superficial crust. Even if this doesn't get under their skin, that isn't the point, the point is to undermine their call towards reducing your societies horizons by pointing out to everybody the horizons those people want are themselves foreign, imposed and twisted in specific ways that don't take into account your local context at all.

Point to the US and emphasize that person is arguing for the same ideology that is tearing the US down into poverty, misery and war. Use people's natural desire to shit on the US as stupid from outside the US to open the door to them seeing their local homegrown version is literally the same stupid shit just without the megaphone the US has.

A specific example, invite people into laughing at how stupid some aspect of the US with a joke or comment, then point out that the conservatives in your area look up to the rightwing people that made those choices here in the US and look them in the eyes with a smile.
