Declaring a boycott as illegal is itself illegal and a violation of the 1st Amendment 🌷🌈🖕

[-] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 39 points 2 weeks ago

The republican controlled congress will impeach any minute now...

[-] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 31 points 2 weeks ago

Any. minute. Now.

[-] Placebonickname@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe Trump doesn’t know what the word “illegal” means 

[-] hemmes@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, he knows. It’s his middle name.

[-] lunarul@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I don't even understand how a boycott would be illegal. It's illegal to not buy products from a certain company? How can you tell if a person is not buying because they're boycotting or because they never had the intention of buying in the first place?

[-] Numinous_Ylem@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Everyone's actually required to buy a Tesla now or else they're gonna be in really big trouble

[-] TheDemonBuer@lemmy.world 80 points 2 weeks ago

However, the billionaire's increasing government influence has aligned with a global decline in Tesla sales, leading some to believe his political moves are damaging the company's brand.

For me, the Tesla brand is permanently damaged. I will never buy a Tesla. I don't care if they're good EVs, I don't care if they're the best EVs, I will never buy one.

[-] Arbiter@lemmy.world 55 points 2 weeks ago

The thing is they aren’t even good EVs.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 9 points 2 weeks ago

Pretty decent dumpsters, though.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 4 points 2 weeks ago

Raccoon approved apparently!

[-] zbyte64@awful.systems 72 points 2 weeks ago

The hit dog yelps. The boycotts are working.

[-] Embargo@lemm.ee 60 points 2 weeks ago

What is this article? "critics said resembled a Nazi salute"? Fuck off, Nazi apologists. He did a Nazi salute. It happened.

[-] frunch@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Nowadays we're all under Leon's watchful eye. He'll call out billionaires and straight-up fabricate shit about them. He knows no one is gonna come at him in any meaningful way. If anyone should manage to get on his radar (camera, whatever lol... Had to throw in a stupid Tesla joke) they will be thrust into the public eye where he's comfortable and in control of the narrative enough to intimidate most into submission. He is big brother now, and it couldn't be stupider

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 33 points 2 weeks ago

this guy wouldnt know 'illegal' if he grabbed it by the pussy

[-] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago

Are you suggesting that convicted felon Donald Trump lacks respect for the law?

[-] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 23 points 2 weeks ago

Aww cry harder trump

[-] Zexks@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago

Like I get it, kind of, the need to call him stupid. But we need to move past this and start calling it what it is. Power consolidation, violations of the constitution, a fucking coup. Him and his handlers know exactly what they’re doing.

"Free" "market"

Fixed that for you.

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

So, what I’m interested in here is: what the fuck are you gonna do about it, orangeboi? Bitch and moan? What’s the punishment for boycotting the brand? Spell it out for me. I want you, or eel-on-musk, to explain what you’re going to do to directly counter this “illegal boycott” - putting aside the fact that that combination of words makes about as much sense as “aerodynamic bedsheet”.

[-] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Everyone who doesn't purchase a Tesla by 2026 is getting deported.

[-] futatorius@lemm.ee 16 points 2 weeks ago

To Agent Orange, "illegal" means "me no like."

Welcome to the club - sincerely all stoners pre-prohibition (Canadian)!

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Based on his past behavior, I think we can all agree that of all the things this dumbass doesn't know, what's legal or illegal is definitely top of that list.

[-] badbrainstorm@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

OPEC is not gonna like Krasnov pushing EV's

[-] boreengreen@lemm.ee 10 points 2 weeks ago

Would be nice if someone hacked a fleet of teslas to full-self-drive straight to the landfill.

[-] ceenote@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

"Well, maybe it's not illegal yet, but it will be soon."

-Republicans, probably.

[-] Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 8 points 2 weeks ago

So it's now illegal not to buy a product?

[-] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, see Israel.

[-] RotatingParts@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 weeks ago

Why not just cut to the chase, make a presidential order saying that everyone must buy a Tesla and if you don't (or can't) you will be punished?

[-] VeryInterestingTable@lemm.ee 6 points 2 weeks ago

Translation: Stop resisting!

Before people start throwing around the Mussolini quote, as much as I'd LIKE to believe it, apparently it can't be sourced. :(

The quote isn't WRONG, it just can't be sourced to Mussolini.

https://politicalresearch.org/2005/01/12/mussolini-corporate-state

“Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.” — Benito Mussolini

It is generally attributed to an article written by Mussolini in the 1932 Enciclopedia Italiana with the assistance of Giovanni Gentile, the editor.

The quote, however, does not appear in the Enciclopedia Italiana in the original Italian.

[-] goofus@lemmy.today 5 points 2 weeks ago

Another episode in the series: "Krasnov Speaks".

[-] Lexam@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Then deport me to Norway.

[-] SilentStorms@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

Your not allowed to do that

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 2 points 2 weeks ago
