While I am generalizing about your average rabidly proud MAGA Tesla driver, I'm not saying that every Tesla driver is a Nazi.

Your original comment:

Tesla has become the official automobile brand of magastan. When you see one rolling down the road, or more likely stuck in 2 inches of snow, at least you'll know where its owner stands on things like equality and the new national norm of fascism.

You're the one who just pivoted into the Nazi word use. Your original comment was clear. If you call for a false dichotomy, don't be surprised when "true patriots" push back as that rhetoric is what fascists use. I don't want you to drag the rest of us down with you.

I'm going to break this response down.

Lots of rage here, but you know the right answer.

Are you just trolling? No rage, I'm simply pushing back against people who paint people like me as "fascists and fascist supporters" with a broad brush and encourage others to do the same. They're actively making my life worse.

I won't even dignify "you know the right answer" with a response.

I'm a federal employee in the process of losing my career over this shit.

I see you missed that I'm LGBTQIO+. I'm not cishet. I'm in fear for my life and the lives of my partner and friends, so I'm fleeing the country and starting over, hoping the next place doesn't want me to die at some point too. Sorry about your job though.

Your last paragraph is just a big, lazy strawman that similarly suggests you never bothered to understand my previous comments before responding. I wasn't going to respond to it as I'm now quite sure you're just rage baiting at this point, but then realized someone on the fence about thinking like this might be reading.

I've been actively protesting the US decline into fascism for over thirty years. I'm a scientist that worked in public health. I'm disabled and am a disability advocate. I am this "true patriot" you pretend I'm blaming with the radical notion that we...*checks notes*... not assume everyone who drives a particular vehicle that has been sold for over a decade is a Fascist or fascist supporter since the CEO went mask off as a neo-Nazi in the last few months. That clearly means I'm "hating the haters" and "blaming the true patriots". Clearly.

Edit: just noticed my laptop is still logged into my old .world account. Oops!

We had ours during the pandemic. While my friends and coworkers griped about toilet paper shortages, it was like having a hidden superpower.

It's about the frequency of Stormlight Archives releases. Last I checked, he stated he had over a dozen Cosmere novels to release before the next one drops. If he gets hit by a truck, that's the end of it.

I had the same reaction. George R.R. Martin, Patrick Rothfuss, Scott Lynch, and Brandon Sanderson have me spooked.

Meta: the post itself is mildly infuriating.

I think it's brainwashing for some and grifting for others.

It's legal. An annotated version, with neither the swastika nor a picture of the greasy Nazi fuck, was published a few years back and tens of thousands were sold, primarily to German libraries and schools. It's a good study on how shitheads think.

Stop seducing me, I'm a married man.

Actually... It is. Here's an article about it.
