I’ll take this opportunity to remind people that Tesla vehicles are surveillance devices, and that the cops have access to facial recognition software. Plan your life accordingly.

But if someone torches a Toyota Camry or spray paints a Ford F150 it’s just vandalism. Only when it affects the richest man in the world is it considered terrorism.
Unpopular take, but I do believe this qualifies as terrorism. Definition 1, “the unlawful use of violence or threats to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or government, with the goal of furthering political, social, or ideological objectives.” Definition 4, “intimidation or coercion by instilling fear”. Haven’t seen it escalate to the level of physical violence, fist/gun fights yet. But it meets the definition of terrorism.
“SELL YOUR SWASTIKAR NAO.” Sounds to me like…intimidation or coercion by instilling fear.
There is more than slight difference between setting a single Toyota Camry on fire or spraypainting a single Ford F150 & specifically torching 10 Tesla charging stations, torching/shooting 17+ Tesla cars, latexing a Tesla robot, and damaging 4+ Tesla showrooms. An isolated incident can be written off as vandalism; multiple specifically targeted attacks (at least 32 objects, properties of like brand) & fuck knows how many more swastikas & nonsense put on cars out in the wild…that strikes me as the unlawful use of violence or threats to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or government, with the goal of furthering political, social, or ideological objectives. AKA, terrorism. You can’t do or encourage the literal definition of a thing & then deny you’re that thing. If you’re going to be a bitch, you gotta be the whole bitch.
And I don’t 100% disagree. I’m just pointing out the double standard. If J6 was just a peaceful protest after they vandalized property, terrorized elected officials, and attacked police, then how is vandalizing Teslas terrorism? Either it’s all terrorism or none of it is. If you choose what’s terrorism and what’s not based on who it affects and not what actually happened you’re just putting targets on specific people. As you said, if you’re going to be a bitch, you gotta be the whole bitch.
Funny how just a few years ago those same people wouldn’t even have pissed on a burning Tesla. Musk decides to do a Nazi salute and all of a sudden conservatives love Tesla now.
