Tesla Hate

They've bought into the "punch a Nazi" sh!t hook, line, and sinker.
I was just reading about a singer on Wikipedia - who, when he finally ended things with his producer - he was thrown out of the office and called - a Nazi.

That "Nazi" singer - was John Denver. Yeah, the first name that comes to mind when you hear that an entertainer was called a Nazi. While he was, in private life, no saint - multiple DUIs and other incidents - he was most of the time level headed, and while he was liberal politically, it was almost entirely focused on nature, the environment and so forth. Even Reagan, whom he criticized often, awarded him for his campaign against hunger.

You know - the kind of person we TYPICALLY think of, as a Nazi.

We on the right learned this long ago but - the pejorative "Nazi" - just like "fascist" and "racist" - has long lost any value as an insult. While despots like Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Mao and Saddam would easily rise to the concept, there has never ever been any group that has perpetrated as much evil and destruction as the Nazis and Hitler. I am unsure there ever will be. It is simply used the way "Satan" might have been used centuries ago. People think of the WORST thing they can think of, and call someone they don't like, that.

We laugh at the term "Soup Nazi" and other such terms - but it no longer means anything.

Well, I guess most of the people I know are in the lower wage earning class. I don't have a friend or relative, nor do I know a person in my neighborhood who owns a Tesla.

There exist despots like the mullahs in Iran, warlords in Afghanistan and lunatic leaders like Kim Jong Un, Vladimire Putin - countless such leaders -

NO ONE DOES THIS. Certainly not in THIS country, but why not the UK?

Yep, and song and dance to avoid the fact that this wasnt a kid or angry ex husband. This person attacked the property of multiple individual citizens for political reasons. But he gets to sign a check and attend " counselling. When the bare minimum should be a sandwich board for a month at lunchtime downtown. "I damaged peoples property because I didn't like the politics of the guy who built the cars they were driving" And a dunce cap.

hopefully he’ll end up as an unsolved mysteries episode.

This is why I am not employed dealing with this kind of thing -

I cannot imagine anyone over the age of TWELVE doing this and thinking it's appropriate - or even, cheered on by like minded people.

I'm struggling to find any instance in our history where such a thing was normalized - the closest I can get is the Tea Party, but at least THAT was against the East India Company, which was more or less owned and operated by the British government.

I don't get the sentiment that attacks civilians for owning a vehicle - which the left would have soundly APPLAUDED just two years ago.

I only dimly grasp the animus against Musk - who hasn't done much except point out waste and make recommendations.

"No matter what we do, we’ve got to take this from Elon Musk,” Fahy said in March when she first introduced the bill against Tesla. “He’s part of an effort to go backwards.”
