"I have lots of progressive ideas in my head, I'm actually immune to propaganda despite my actual behavior that is entirely consistent with capitalist ideology"

AOC buying a Tesla isn't "weird" or "anti-socialist", rationally navigating marketplaces to find loopholes is within the ideological framework of being a technocratic PMC under neoliberalism. The entire idea of 'tax rebates for electric vehicles' is probably one of Biden's main accomplishments lol

"I drive a Tesla but I'm not a freak, I'm just exploiting the tax rebate lol" ideology isn't what you believe, its what you do

You shouldn't buy the overpriced, defect ridden car from the company run by the mobbed up business psycho plutocrat of the 21st century, Tesla.

He's just recycling the same schtick that gave us Bush's roads full of Hummers in the early 2000s. The Cybertruck is the Zoomer's version of the H2 / Suburban / 4Runner.

Damn I really haven't seen a Hummer is a while. They're all a different kind of swollen thing

I've been seeing more hummers than i have in a decade. I don't know where they all came from, its like people who got hard seeing the hummer EV but couldn't afford one found a loop hole.

I don't know where all these H2 and H3s came from but i'm amazed they're even still on the road.

I've been seeing a lot of those big chonky Rivian trucks. I don't even expect to see a cybertruck at this point

[-] Shinji_Ikari@hexbear.net 5 points 9 months ago

The Rivians are basically compact vehicles compared to the Hummer EV and the cyber truck.
