    That’s an unhinged stance. People that bought a car without knowing what Elon was or would become are not morally responsible for enabling him. Intent matters. Most of them, im sure, just wanted an electric vehicle… the end. They do not deserve to be punished for Musk and Trump’s evils.

      Even if that’s the case it doesn’t matter, because Musk and Trump’s policy is the USA’s policy even if some Americans voted for Harris. And with the USA now our sworn enemy from this point on we shouldn’t have to bother with the nuance of distinguishing the “good” Americans from the bad ones. We didn’t distinguish “good” Germans from bad Germans during WWII, and we don’t distinguish “good” Russians from bad Russians. Same applies here.

        Yes, the fuck we did.

        and we don’t distinguish “good” Russians from bad Russians.

        Yes the fuck we do.

        This is the mentality that leads to war crimes.
