    Being unaware doesn’t protect from consequences. Even morally, in a democracy, it’s up to the people to be informed. Buying decisions drive policy. It should worry people that they don’t have the time nor tools to be informed. This alone should start a general strike.

    With all the things that are looming, imagine the price you are going to pay because you were not online enough.

      What if a person bought a Tesla 10 years ago (before folks knew what an asshole Musk was) to reduce dependence on foreign oil.

      Do you think that person deserves to have their car vandalized?

        No, but they could have cut their losses by selling when Musk’s character became clear.

          Or maybe activist can focus on causing damage to directly to Musk. Like maybe we should all always try to avoid collateral damage when we can.

          Not that hard to do.

        No. That’s why this is important:
