While Elon indulges in political theater and self-aggrandizing quips, Tesla is experiencing an unprecedented slump in both sales and stock value.

      Stupid shit like this does more damage to conservative shitheads than any amount of “intellectual dismantling” of their ideology. This is their level of petty attacks on appearances, this is all they really know.

      The left needs to get a lot stupider and a lot more superficial a lot faster if we hope to beat them.

        The problem is, being petty is against lefty values. Take King Charles and his fat fingers. When lefty’s were making of him, there were probably a few fat fingered innocents out there with the same condition who felt self conscious. And that’s unfair. Making fun of appearances is untargeted and hurts those in the crossfire. But the problem is IT’S SO EFFECTIVE FOR OPTICS AND MORALE.

        So either we give up that effective campaign for ethical reasons, or we just collectively let some people take the L for the advancement of leftist morale and publicity. It’s a doozy!
