This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
The police are there to protect the business interests of the richest man in the world.
They call regular people “terrorists” for daring to stand up to fascism in any small way.
They start a manhunt for the murder of the CEO of a health insurance company while ignoring the murders of countless regular people every day.
Private property is protected, while it’s been made illegal to be homeless.
What a sick and decrepit society.
Next they will be threatening you if you don’t buy a Tesla.
The country was founded on the principle that the primary role of government is to protect property from the majority
That seems like a huge inefficiency, DOGE should eliminate it.
Uh oh, it sounds like they want us to be inclusive of all cars.
Anti-Tesler Terrorism.
Thoughts and Prayers.
This really does illustrate the idea that police aren’t there to “serve and protect.” They are there to keep the common people in line so that the rich can stay safe.
Mask off moment. Their purpose is to protect capital. The only crimes that cops prevent are through deterrence because they are crime punishers, not crime preventers.
they are crime punishers, not crime preventers.
This isn’t unique to the US. It is called law enforcement so even if it wasn’t a completely broken and horseshit system crime prevention would not be part of their purview.
You prevent/reduce crime by addressing the underlying societal issues that are contributing to it.
Just wondering when it was ever mask on?
Holy shit the call is coming from inside the house what a waste of a country
The domestic terrorist is in the White House.
Don't be ridiculous. As the Commander in Chief of the United States he's also an international terrorist
The call is coming from inside the (white) house!"
An anagram of 'domestic terrorist' is moist or restricted
Which probably applies to Trumpo
Gross. Now I’m thinking about his diapers.
Moist AND restricted.
Dudes got shit in his pants.
Well.....it might not be in his pants yet. It's perfectly well established that he's full of shit.
Different article, but the picture just makes me so happy:
If you set it on fire it makes a rainbow. There’s something profound in that.
something something turning the Teslas gay
Republicans doing things to stop people from destroying cars but not children in schools. “Family values” party.
If Republicans could feel shame* I’m sure they’d be very upset.
* about anything other than sex
The network TV spin-off for this FBI task force is going to be great.
Terrorism is scaring/harming people to manipulate government.
Tesla is neither government nor their property damage is scaring people.
More trumped-up charges.
(It is hilariously fitting Trump the man and Trump the word fit so gand-in-hand)
Arson, its just arson.
So are we suddenly pretending Musk isn't a de facto government leader who might be manipulated by this? (Terrible wording, but y'all get my gist. I'm going hiking now.)
I mean, it depends on who in the admin you ask.
If you want to abstract it enough, hurting Tesla hurts musk, who unfortunately is the government.
Not legally he's not.
That only matters if it's enforced.
Anti-trans, anti-immigrant and pro white supremacy terrorism are still A-OK, though.
Property Police
I've seen this meme format for years now, but never understood it. Why are they just floating in space? Why is one killing the other?
I get this individual meme.....I just don't get the format.
The original is something like "it's all Ohio" "always has been". The globe shown is just a large landmass that looks like Ohio. They're probably astronauts since you'd have to be in space to see it. The astronaut killing the other has the Ohio flag on them and is killing them for knowing too much.
When you finally see the big picture, you have to die because you know too much.
In an alternate universe where the world is logical, insurrections are terrorism and firebombing teslas is patriotism.
Full fascism
Oligarch is using the state for personal vanity project...
We pay for this and the normie is fine with it because oligarchs property is more valuable than his own 🤡
It'll be great when they see a Tesla that exploded because of how shitty it is and try and spin it into physics being woke
As we say in brazil: "cagões" (shittest way to refer to cowards)
Hey Tesla don't know if it would work but if I see one alone at a dealership totally going to toss a gas rag in and burn baby burn like Gone In 60 seconds. Ok now that I am a terrorist can I get three hots and a cot for about 4 years, then sue the ever living shit out of the US government? Then buy Reddit or whatever and shut it down and use the rest to promote lemmy.world

Best they can do is an illegal deportation to concentration camp
Aww, the dot world news mod team is gonna be so happy to know that the FBI is protecting their precious teslas.
Which mostly speaks to why this is "a good idea". People vandalizing swasticars was effective. It was a comparatively low effort action that people could do on their way to work or while out drinking with the gang. And it did an amazing job of putting the fear of labor in all the tech workers who "will just ride out the next 4 years". They couldn't just say "I am one of the good ones" anymore.
So... get rid of that and we go back to "This is horrible and I really do care about whatever issue we think matters this week. But if you worked just a bit harder you would be able to afford groceries so..." that we see EVERYWHERE (even on this site).
