    Some advice for demonstrations (including propaganda of the deed):

    • Wear a ski mask. Wear rubber gloves.
    • Wear anonymous clothing.
    • Don’t trust phones. Don’t use them to plan, and leave them turned on at home.
    • Use a cell structure to organize, and share info on a need-to-know basis only.
    • Assume there are not only cameras but microphones.
    • Don’t drive anywhere near the location of the demo. Ride-haining services are even worse. Don’t even cycle in unless you can go off-road.
    • Distinguish individuals’ property from corporate property.
    • The goal is to live to fight another day. A fair fight is one in which you don’t get hurt.

      Not having the phone with you is critical. But I assume planning is done on a laptop or desktop that is obviously not taken with?

        Yep, anonymous browsers, burner accounts, and a VPN if you can. Privacy.sexy is your friend too.

        You just want to set yourself up as best you can for the defense of “you can’t prove that was me.”

          Tor browser/ I use a VPN most of the time. But for REALLY sensitive shit I turn Tor on. A lot of stuff can be purged off your computer. I use Windows 11 (haven’t migrated to Linux yet! Ugh!) but I have some failsafes to reduce my location data and the amount I am exposed. It isn’t perfect (nothing is) but it is better than nothing.

    Oh no! they should be dismantled instead of burned. Some of those electric motors could be put into better use.

    Imagine having to resort to violence against a private company just because you lost an election LMAO 🤣

    You guys do realize that by promoting this, you are doing JD Vance’s campaign for him, right?

    The stunlock continues at pace.

      I’m not from the US, but I straight out recommend quickly educating oneself about military stuff - fiber guided drones (here in Eastern Europe we like them) and remote weapons stations. Because the US is heading somewhere at a rapid pace. Let’s hope it won’t get there (the simplest and most civil obstacle would be lots of court cases and Trumpists losing midterm elections), but if it does, then strongly worded letters will not suffice.

      Trump’s administration:

      “Agency,” unless otherwise indicated, means any authority of the United States that is an “agency” under 44 U.S.C. 3502(1), and shall also include the Federal Election Commission.

      Vance, in his old interviews:

      “I think that what Trump should do, if I was giving him one piece of advice: Fire every single midlevel bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people.”

      Also Vance:

      “We are in a late republican period,” Vance said later, evoking the common New Right view of America as Rome awaiting its Caesar. “If we’re going to push back against it, we’re going to have to get pretty wild, and pretty far out there, and go in directions that a lot of conservatives right now are uncomfortable with.”

      Googling “how to remove a dictator?” when you already have one is doing it too late. On the day the self-admitted wannabe Caesar crosses his Rubicon, it better be so that some people already know what to aim at him.

      Tesla dealerships… nah. I would not advise spending energy on them. But people, being only people, get emotional and do that kind of things.

      And to go and take it out on people who aren’t involved, just because they own a vehicle. Childish brats.

      If the major stakeholder and CEO is actively being an unelected politician addressing policy changes onto the public, then repercussions need to happen.

      It would not be wise to show people that they can achieve plutocracy. Plutocrats only lose their power by losing their wealth, so if that’s what has to happen, then that is the plan.

    Been thinking about this a lot. They can say it’s terrorism. History is written by the winners.

    But…

    Rebellion is constitutional, but not legal. If you rebel, you die a terrorist or live a hero. Not much middle ground.

    Stick to the showrooms and dealers. The victims in Las Vegas was just owners who brought their cars in to be fixed.

      They can use the insurance money to get a non tesla. Clearly these confused autistic gestures are not working since the de facto tyrannyical government is not reacting to it at all and not labelling it “terrorism”.

      spoiler

      After seeing american tesla owners drive rentals in iceland, my toughts and prayers are with each of the expensive luxury vehicle owners and their families going through this tough time.

    “Trump administration looking to categorize Tesla vandalism as domestic terrorism” Because Republicans are cowards without principles who can never even think of opposing him.

    Problem with setting Teslas on fire is we can’t know if it’s an act of protest or if they just did that on their own.

      The incident in Kansas City genuinely does sound like one just caught itself on fire.

      In Kansas City, Police Captain Jacob Becchina said in a statement that an officer first observed smoke coming from a Cybertruck parked in a Tesla parking lot. “The officer used his fire extinguisher, however, KCFD was still needed as he could not put the fire out,” Becchina said. “The fire spread to a second Cybertruck parked next to the original burning one. The circumstances are under investigation, but preliminarily, the fire is being investigated for the potential of being an Arson.”

      I was JUST about to say; how do we know they didn’t just do that? or that this wasn’t a buggy firmware update that just did that? or a malicious firmware update that did this?
