I have seen a lot of tesla vandalism online the last few days and I’m kind of on the fence about it.

I’ve seen several examples locally here in BC, Canada.

I think totally warranted at newly purchased teslas going forward. Also it serves as a deterrent for potential future buyers.

But vandalizing a car that is a few years old I think is lame. Those driversare already being punished enough by driving something around that’s worth less than scrap.

    While I feel like major acts of vandalism are antisocial, minor ones are just humans being humans and the absolutism of your position here is making it hard to agree. If I see someone wearing one of Kanye West’s swastika shirts and someone throws mud at them, I will clap. If there’s a massive antiracist protest and someone lights an empty cop car on fire, I will cheer. Sometimes resisting evil means being pretty rude, and now that this CEO is the front man for an inside coup, anyone financially supporting him has been made complicit, against their will or no. There is room for nuance, there are justifications, and in protesting, it is better to allow for a diversity of tactics rather than try to police each other.
