    They really are this dumb.

    They think this will discourage targeted destruction of an oligarch? Decades for worthless cars?

    If you get decades for that- make sure to get the rest of the lot. Bonus points for for a factory.

        Tough talk from a keyboard warrior. I expect the next act of civil disobedience to be tagged “this one is for Lemmy fam” or you’re full of it.

        Nothing but false bravado from russian subversive operators as far as I see.

          My country isn’t turned to shit like America. I just choose not to go, but sooner or later the rest of the world may have to do something if their own citizens won’t.

          Why would you ask someone to do this? I like this place. I’d rather not see that happen.

          Human beings are being pushed too far right now in America. I would have a healthier fear of it than you seem to.

            Conversely to shut them up. It’s all impotent frustration that isn’t going to pan out to shit. Real gradeschoolers in the playground vibes.

            I wouldn’t call your fear healthy until it is about something happening. Right now you’re empowering their BS tbh so some self-reflection might be in order on your part.

              It’s bigger grade schooler on the playground vibes that you feel the need to chime in insulting strangers.

                Careful now or I’ll raise my virtual fist in the air and you’ll be quaking in your boots for the rest of the day.

      I mean, arson itself is usually punished very harshly because it can easily get out of control and kill people (and most of those laws predate modern fire safety standards). It might be a good idea to look for alternative ways to vandalise Tesla’s that don’t have harsh punishments associated with them. Or if you do, try not to get caught.

        One popular method of destroying cybertrucks is simply treating them like a normal car. Perhaps Owen should have vandalized their neighbor’s car by giving it a good rinse? That tends to brick these dumpsters
