A community to satirize conservtive and right-wing "ideals".
This community (now) exists as a pressure valve, a place to process through humor the often frustrating world of conservative politics. Above all, this is NOT the place for serious conservative support/viewpoints/arguments. There are other places on Lemmy for that if you desire it.
Always follow .world instance rules
Parody With Purpose: This is a space for humorous takes on conservative politics. We welcome satire, but draw the line at content that promotes racism, sexism, homophobia, or other forms of bigotry.
Memes Over Manifestos: This community focuses on humor and parody, not serious political debate. There are plenty of spaces for earnest conservative discussion, this isn’t one of them.
Highlight Contradictions: Sometimes the best content points out inconsistencies and hypocrisies in conservative talking points. Creative commentary is encouraged.
Public Figures Fair Game: Politicians and pundits can be satirized, but no targeting of private individuals, doxxing, or harassment.
Children of public figures under the age of 14 are also off-limits, a 16 year old has enough free agency to break with or adopt their parents views. An 8 year old kid doesn't.
No News Zone: Memes only, news or other serious content should be sent to the nearest relevant comm. Meme's of current events, however, are encouraged.
Clear Satire: Make your satirical intent reasonably clear. We’re here to mock bad ideas, not accidentally spread them. If you're unsure how it will be taken, feel free to DM the mod team ahead of time or explicitly tag it as satire in the body.
A note on ChadMcTruth: Chad's content is 100% satire, but his work can sometimes be hard to tell, but if he posted it be assured, its satire.
For more general political memes please see !politicalmemes@lemmy.world
Community Respect: Disagree with fellow members all you want, but personal attacks aren’t welcome. Save the criticism for the ideas, not each other.
Moderation Discretion: Mods will use reasonable judgment in applying these rules. We’ll be fair, but firm. These kinds of comms have a tendency to get off the rails, so we might seem overzealous in moderation sometimes.
For the moment, i'm allowing properly tagged NSFW content as long as its funny and relevant. Don't make me regret it.
And above all, HAVE FUN!
The problem with vandalising or destroying swastikars is that the cameras continuously monitor the vehicle and surrounds.
Balaclava, or motorcycle helmet, as much skin covering as possible, and an approach on foot or bicycle would be wise if someone were to attempt such an egregious, obviously illegal, act.
Eh, they can't really do anything about it. My brother had a tesla, pre fascists Elon, and someone through a rock at the windshield while it was parked. The camera captured everything and you can clearly see the guy but he couldn't do anything about it. The cops aren't going to go on a manhunt through the city for a vandal, this was in Detroit they have better things to do, and the guy looked unhoused anyway so he wasn't going to get him to pay any way.

If you already have a can of spray paint in your hands, that sounds like an easy problem to remedy.
At least if you know where the cameras are
It's even money between vandalism and the owner showing his colors.
I had a similar thought. How many of these are the owner using vandalism as a cover.
We are in theonion levels of reality now
Now? We've been here for a decade. The generally dystopian sci-fi show Black Mirror didn't make a new season in 2020 because the world was too bleak and fucked up, they put up posters for season 6 which were just mirrors.
More of this
No more looking the other way as people fund nazis
Interesting. Whether you as a potential buyer would avoid tesla or not based on your dislike of the CEO's politics, would you buy a car that has an increased chance of being vandalised due to the CEO's politics?
Cyber truck wasn't going to last long anyway. It should have been apparent from the get go. Rivian was going to market and Elon panicked. They rushed it out and it's a relatively low volume vehicle. Tesla is notorious for lack of after sale support. I'll be surprised if there are any left on the road by the end of the year.
People still buy Hyundai despite increased risk of being stolen with a USB cable .... so yeah.
You don't buy a Hyundai because it's your top choice. You buy Hyundai because it's what you can afford.
Hyundai living up to their well deserved reputation
That issue was on specific models from specific years, so new ones are fine at least. No justification for the swastikars, though.
Yeah there was another thread where OP was pretending to ask about the ethical considerations of "vandalising" teslas. Thing is, I presume OP was a tesla owner because their definition of "vandalism" included drawing things in the dust on the rear window.
In my opinion it's a great way to harm Musk financially. Honestly if you're driving a Tesla you're carrying water for Musk. Everyone has known he's a shit head for a long time now. It's certainly possible for someone's well meaning grandma to be collateral damage but so be it. Not knowing is not a defense.
I wouldn't have the nuts to spray a swatstica on someone's car, so not necessarily advocating for it and saying that's what people ought to do, but shit if you feel like it and are aware of the potential consequences then have at it IMO.
Insurance is going to get crazy expensive.
If you bought one of those idiotic cars, you knew.
Deserved
If you drive a Tesla now, you support Elmo, double so if you drive that monstrosity
Eh, I would reserve the hate for cybertrucks specifically. A ton of people bought a model 3 or whatever before he went full Nazi.
Elmo musk always was a scammer and a liar, way before model 3. That nobody wanted to see that is a different thing that still is ongoing
Cybercuck appropriately labeled
Fuck me Lemmy, you are tickling me this night.
Did the owner buy this as a wrap to protect the car?
you're risking the same time at summer camp if you draw a nice little picture or if you throw a can of paint on the windshield so it's un-drivable.
Honestly if they catch fire on their own or with a little help who would even know, amirite?
