I think this is a sign that the boycott and protests are getting to them. Don’t stop. Be smart about what you do but don’t stop.
Domestic terrorists don’t egg cars. Domestic terrorists push past barricades, invade capitol buildings, and assault capitol police.
Like the ones trump pardoned.
- He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.

The plan is to progressively outlaw any dissenting opinions and systematically outlaw any movement threatening his rule. BLM, Gay rights organizations, pro-democracy movements and media outlets etc.
This is how Vlad the fils-de-Putin does it.
- This doesn’t mean resistance should stop. Not saying ppl shouldn’t be careful, but the resistance should continue since it’s clearly annoying certain someones.
- I'm a union member in a red state. It's going to be a real ride seeing all of the braindead dipshits that voted for him crying when he starts coming for our collective bargaining.
  
  He’s already against it. How do they justify it now.
- I can’t believe I’m saying this but I really hope the fact that there are too many firearms in this country to ever confiscate and that he is much much stupider than Putin is will prevent him from succeeding. It’ll still be terrible when we’re a collection of insurgent states but he may never be able to solidify control in the same way
We're all domestic terrorists, remember?
- Holy shit i missed this
- pepridge farms 'members.
  
  Wait wtf?
I will say it again. The word “terrorist” is just meaningless now. It’s just a cudgel that government and corporate demagogues use to victimize innocent targets and distract from their own unjust violence.
- I saw terrorists on January 6th, 2021
If you're gonna risk getting persecuted for "terrorism" anyway, you might as well skip the petty vandalism and do something that really earns the charge instead.
If egging a car and torching multiple dealerships carry the same penalty, well...
to apply right-wing logic to this: "if you label everything domestic terrorism, the term will lose it's meaning!!!11!!!"
To be fair, attacking America's corpo capitalist's profits is an attack on America's only practiced religion and belief system.
Time to slash tires since I'm gonna go to jail for being a leftist queer who likes weed anyways.
Wonder if this will push the wishy washy people who own Teslas but whine about having to get rid of them. Going to assume anyone still owning one is a Nazi or supports Nazis because they haven't come for them yet.
Sounds about right I think we are all set to go to gitmo.

Don't do this to these beautiful vehicles. Lithium fires are unstoppable.
