Tesla is not owned by the government, the cars being burnt are not leased to the Feds, and it’s unclear if Tesla is receiving Federal financial assistance in the sense meant in this law. So the law doesn’t appear to fit the facts of the case. Looks like a malicious prosecution.

Because someone’s resisting Musk, that’s why.

Being level-headed would involve investigating before making accusations.

Concentration camps.

Real capitalism, over all time and everywhere, has almost never been free-market.

“We’d commit genocide but we’re too squeamish” is also an indefensible position.

Ukraine and Russia have been brothers in arms for a thousand years

Stalin committed genocide against Ukraine less than 100 years ago.

You’re assuming individual citizens are going to directly face the military. It’ll be a guerilla war fought by irregulars. Militaries are piss-poor at putting those down, especially against their own citizens. You hit them where they aren’t, not where they expect you.

And yet poorly armed civilians have overthrown governments. Why is that? Could it be that relative firepower is not the only factor?

Also, even if it’s a matter of force meeting force, focused application of force at a critical point is determinative, not overall force. History is full of cases where smaller forces won.

The military oath requires refusal to obey unlawful orders.

He’s probing. If there’s no resistance, he’ll grab whatever he can.

Sort of, except that it’s real economic growth. And skyrocketing property prices aren’t being solely driven by a couple percent per year population growth. There are other factors besides that absurdly crude and obviously false model.

If St Paddy drove the snakes out, why’s McGregor still there?

I know that bare knuckles are supposed to limit the velocity

No you don’t. For a given amount of muscle force, a bare-knuckles fist will be lighter (and thus easier to accelerate) than a fist with a glove on it. Gloves disperse the striking force, giving the impulse more of a low-frequency component, versus bare-knuckle strikes, which make contact in a much smaller area and transmit some of the energy at higher frequency. So, gloves give more a thud than a sharp hit that might cause a cut.

Now’s the time when you see who the real allies are. The corporations were using the gay community for marketing.

One strong argument for banning the death penalty is that sadistic officials always find ways to transform it into torture.

Cash sales of ski masks are going to spike.

Not just deer. Cyclists too.

There will be.

I had ‘hoped’ things would get so bad we’d have mass revolts.

Don’t wait. Organize. Be the catalyst.
