      Also worth mentioning that it is spreading to other parts of Europe along with Canada too. There’s planned Tesla Takedowns now in Iceland, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Finland. Likely to be more in the future too. See the site I linked in the text body for where they are & how to organize one around you if none exist

      Protests are still mostly concentrated in the US, but they are getting more global

        What would be effective at costing them a lot, paint stripper and smashed windows?

          unfortunately the best outcome is the most boring, destroyed inventory turns into insurance clams and inventory write-offs which are positives for their balance sheet and Q1 '25 financial reports. Sitting on the lot for the longest time possible is more financially crippling for the companies financial reports and financial liquidity of the muskrat, since all the money is tied up in inventory

      Genuine question: when exactly? I know there was a point in 60s where their middle class was flourishing domestically, but internationally the US was the same as ever, no?

        Did you not get it?
        It’s a satirical cartoon.
        Showing a guy criticising Trump and deluding himself his side (dems) weren’t awful all the time.
        In this example, the Guantanamo torture prison (which Obama was definitely going to close first thing when elected LOL), the massive drone killings, Biden’s kids in cages and plenty wars and regime change shennanigans.
        It shows the blatant hypocrisy.

          Thank you, yes but that’s current.

          My parents generation still harken back to a golden time when the US was leader in freedom of speech and social mobility. There is some merit to what they said back then, especially in terms of consumer interests being somewhat aligned with retailer interests back then, but I want to genuinely know if this even back then was more propoganda than reality.
