My point is that this sub is criticizing this guy is "speaking" in a non-destructive fashion via his car (however dumb it is) and at the same time hundreds are cheering actual vandalism and arson. I'm sorry that you think comparing automobile-related political speech is somehow "whataboutism," but come on, be serious. I see this all the time with the left (my party I might add... my criticism is toward "us") where shit like merely seeing a confederate statue is "violence," then we have actual riots that are just "protests." It's ridiculous. Same shit here. Oh no, this guy says "MAGA" (fainting couch) while dozens of people are keying cars and lighting cars on fire (down with Musk, it's political speech). It's idiotic my side good, the other side bad, simply-minded thinking, and I'm tired of pretending like it's smart, edgy, or helpful. It's just hypocritical.

u/DingusDetector 1d ago
It's not about the destruction. It's about the resulting message. Muskrat's stock is in the shitter. His own company board is requesting he step down. It's a means of pressuring a capitalist emperor out of government by taking his empire down. And it's working.
I hope they keep at it.

I don't think you can entirely blame them, because a lot of them truly have been failed by and left behind by the "traditional elite". But that made them susceptible to populism and the "burn it all down to get back at those condescending elites" approach (more commonly known as "owning the libs")

Things are terrible right now. We all feel it, no one thinks things have been going well since at least 2018.
GOP campaigns on anger and chaos, they had the balls to say "things are bad, we will tear it down" and there's a LOT of angry people that are like "fuck it, sure, everything sucks so blow it all up" not realizing that blowing it all up means the oligarchs just take everything from them. Bye bye social security, have fun in indentured servitude but at least you got to own the libs as you sell your house to pay for chemo.
Dems campaigned, or at least campaigned in 2024, on "Hey, things aren't as bad as you think" which is a fucking TERRIBLE message but they decided they wouldn't throw Biden under the bus for whatever reason. They never had the guts to actually point out things were bad, or to even address healthcare. They played a worse version of identity politics that the GOP played instead of leaning into their strengths.

How can we watch thousands of people die right in front of our eyes from drugs while not forcing help on them under the guise of "their" rights while infringing on ours? How do we setup camps in our public parks to ruin them and make them unsafe and inaccessible to the rest of our community? How can we hold Luigi up as a savior without looking like crazy idiots?

And it wasn't a Democrat who pardoned all those who participated, and those convicted criminals, once released, proceeded to commit more crimes.

Even if the tariff on natural rubber was 100% it only adds maybe $12 per tire. Assuming a tire weighs 30 lbs.

Ok sure but..if you make the tire overseas you still pay a tariff too. Unless somehow the tire tariff is different from the rubber tariff. Why do you think a domestic manufactured tire would be cheaper?
1
u/tripodchris08 20h ago
You apparenly don’t understand how tariffs work. It is based on value of product imported. Whole tires are taxed at full value of finished product. Rubber is taxed at value of raw product. So rubber is taxed at approx $.20 per pound depending on country of origin. Finished tire would be taxed at whatever rate the tariff is for that country. So $100 tire and 47% of that would be $147. Vs USA tire with 10lbs of imported rubber taxed at .20x10lb=$2.00

My dude, even US made tires will go up. To just under what a tariffed set of foreign made rollers are. That is the dirty little secret of tariffs even when there is a US made equivalent.

"Come and take it" sticker upper left...
"The Come and Take It flag is a symbol from the Battle of Gonzales that's prevailed through 183 years of Texas history. The flag stood for defiance against Mexican dictatorship, and today the flag's meaning remains rooted in Texas pride."
The irony knows no boundaries
1
u/cubitoaequet 1d ago
In 1831, Green DeWitt asked the Mexican authorities to lend the Gonzales colonists a cannon to help protect them from frequent Comanche raids. One was supplied, on the condition that the cannon would be returned to the Mexicans on request.[1] Over the next four years, the political situation in Mexico deteriorated, and in 1835 several states revolted. As the unrest spread, Colonel Domingo de Ugartechea, the commander of all Mexican troops in Texas, felt it unwise to leave the residents of Gonzales with a weapon and requested the return of the cannon.
Sounds like the flag stands for being an absolute shithead actually, so it works here.
Is there any Texan symbol that isn't an artifact of a bunch of slavers stealing shit?
