Fascist coups succeed when the rich have bought into the coup.

Why would the rich seizing full control of the state make the stock market go down?

the foreign policy of the most powerful country on Earth has been rapidly reorganised around the fragile ego of a sullen and resentful old man

This is false, unless the “old man” is putin. Attributing policy to trump is like blaming a car crash on the hood ornament.

US foreign policy under the current fascist regime is laser focused on destroying the core alliances of american power. Trump is far too senile to stay on goal like that and he was never smart enough for strategic planning.

Are you talking about definite pedophile bill gates by chance?

It is not. Writing “wash me” is not vandalism. This is not vandalism. Outside of the courtroom, reality is more important than a legal definition.

Moreover, legal definitions are irrelevant to whether an act is moral. Your fixation on this point in the face of so many people highlighting that no harm has been done again suggests you’re not arguing in good faith.

Writing in dirt is just not vandalism.

You insisting otherwise makes it seem like you might not be asking this question in good faith.

What will it accomplish?

It’s not directed at the owner, but bystanders.

If you didn’t know or care that musk was a self confessed nazi, seeing vandalized teslas is still likely to discourage you from buying one. We’re social primates and forceful, visible displays of disapproval work.

Isolating a nazi brand and putting downward pressure on sales is vastly more important than an overwhelmingly wealthy demographic - tesla owners - having to use their insurance (worst case) or spend 5 minutes washing their car (as in OP’s example).

hard for everyone

People who are struggling can’t afford teslas.

educate people

Musk supporters don’t change their opinion based on information. Tesla owners who bought before they realized musk is a nazi don’t need education.

Vandalizing an object that materially supports fascism is obviously morally acceptable.

Through UCLA’s Technology Transfer Group, which transforms brilliant research into global market products, the scientists have co-founded a medical development company called Pelage Pharmaceuticals

In case you were curious how this publicly funded research is going to be turned into private profits.

Pete Hegseth Putin tells NATO…

All day. Usually getting worse over the course of the day. Even a relatively mild hangover in the morning would be killing me by early evening.

Nothing helps it either. I’ve always eaten before drinking. Staying on top of hydrating while and after drinking has no noticable effect.

Our explanations for the behavior of outsiders say more about our beliefs than theirs.

Even explanations that feel correct to us are almost certainly wrong in important ways.

There’s plenty of scholarship on the various reasons people support fascism, that’s probably your best chance for a full answer.

70% of OF performers are women - I’d wager that’s why people are assuming a female subject.

spiritual whiplash

Some kind of christian or tradwife influencer?

Remember that religion is mostly grifting and the best grifters earnestly believe their patter.

Reposting popular material isn’t a reddit thing, it’s a human thing.

There will always be someone who just discovered that whatever from a couple years ago and likes it enough to post it. The larger the user base, the more common this becomes.

Its very possible to enrich corrupt elites without taking an axe to the US’s strategic position. That would be preferable for securing the wealth of the ruling class in the future.

Of course they want to make the rich richer, but this level of systemic destruction isn’t the most efficient way to do that. The damage is clearly part of the goal.

Part of me thinks this is so they have an easy way to drop prices after people get used to everything costing more, but I’m sure it’s mostly just trying to destroy the the US’s relationship with it’s most important allies.

“Thank you for the offer but that doesn’t sound like something I would enjoy.”

Well google maps can fuck right off, the cowards. What are everyone’s recommendations for alternatives?

Capitalism can’t innovate.

good (inclusive) leadership

That’s a neurological impossibility and we don’t gain anything by pretending otherwise.

whenever there’s a group of people together, someone will be the leader

You have a friend who’s always exerting their will over everyone else? This is thankfully not my experience.

Hierarchy has definitely infected our lives and thinking to a sickening extent. People pursuing power for what they see as good is the problem. Trying to influence what the power-hungry see as good is a fools errand because the effect that power has on the brain means “good” will always become “good for me” as you gain power.

The only way to a better world is people rejecting the self destructive desire to stand above. We need stories and social infrastructure that works towards that goal.
