These are the most nigger responses possible. I asked a question about whether it actually legally qualified as terrorist/domestic terrorism.

Is that all you did? Our bad...

Oh. Wait a minute... What was this?
neger psykolog said:
"political violence" means assassinations, kidnappings and shit and sometimes also includes the damage of private property.

There's no violence happening. The cars are inanimate objects and belong to a company.

Yeah, we're the niggers for assuming it wasn't just a wittle innocent question. Yep. That's how that happened.

Yeah that's not vague at all. I sure do hope nobody thought the members of the Unguided Boomer Tour 2021 were "intimidating." I sure hope that nobody though one of them smashing a window was "violent." Then they might have 15 years tacked on to their 90 day trespassing charge because it was "terrorist" trespassing.

Oh shit, that happened? Fuck. That's really messed up.

Anyway, you're missing my point. Burning things down, trespassing, vandalism, assault, murder. These are all crimes that we can punish. Having [act] be a fundamentally different crime than [act with an opinion] is insane, and should've never been allowed in the first place.

I’m gonna be honest man after reading your posts here and elsewhere I’ve come to realize you are actually retarded not in a meme way but in the sense you are legitimately low iq. You fail to grasp basic concepts and implications. You also have trouble understanding basic logic and reasoning behind peoples actions. You for example can’t seem to understand intent matters or that it’s generally bad to let pirates disrupt global trade because they arnt immediately next to you globally.

I'm mainly seeing hundreds of articles like "TESLA drops 76%! In sales, last tuesday, in some country you've never heard of called Slovburgmenistan or some shit"
They really desperately wish their terrorism was achieving something

It's probably driving part sales. The only guy I know with a Tesla had his windshield smashed yesterday, and I don't think that's covered by warranty, which Tesla would have to pay, but insurance.
100% of the people I know with Teslas have this damage (sample size 1, but still)

Domestic terrorism has nothing to do with US Politics, everybody!

If you've spent the past 5 pages sperging about the legal definitions of terrorism and political violence and when they can be applied at a point it becomes unrelated to actual US Politics and just becomes an argument on legal terminology

I think a good comparison to draw would be me going down to Toyota and smashing up some Corollas. That's just plain vandalism. Now if I state I'm gonna start sabotaging a bunch of Tacomas and rigging them to blow IRA-style unless the government does something about emissions that'd be terrorism.

To be clear, I agree that the Tesla-smashers are acting as terrorists. Just because it's "just cars" and not people doesn't disqualify it; we reserve the same judgement for hippies trying to blow up pipelines.

If you're smashing up corollas even when there's people in them and setting them on fire next to busy roads and buildings with a political motivation then it's terrorism.

What if you yell "ITS JUST A PRANK BRO" right after you do it? Is it terrorism then?

I only ask simply to spite the spergs.

There's a few things mentioned:
  • (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
  • (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
  • (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping;
Destroying megacorp's robot fleet doesn't fall under any of these because it isn't threatening or coercing a civilian population or the policy of a government and doesn't involve violence against a human.

Yes it does, because the shareholders, officers, and employees of a private company are civilians, and destruction of property is violence for the purpose of intimidating or coercing them into doing what you want.

I genuinely wonder if trumps second term ends with the same status quo as after his first term, whether or not the right wing will finally realize that when it comes down to it, the leftists may believe crazy shit but their actual tactics are way more effective than ours. People on our side say “J6 was just a guided tour”, and my response is yeah and we got 4 years of joe Biden and all that shit afterwards meanwhile the left is making Elon hurt with what they’re doing.

I doubt it. Normal people won't vote for the party that encouraged the mentally ill to set their grandma's car on fire. The liberals has a veneer of legitimacy before when the news could downplay the bad shit and point out the somewhat decent politicians, but the Democrats have gone full mask off and have purity spiraled to the point that they are actively hostile to any one who can't keep up with their fads.

Like imagine if there was a puppy kicking party and they threatened to kick your puppy if you didn't vote for them (and when they were previously voted in they continued to kick puppies). Why the hell would you vote for them instead of the "arrest the puppy kickers" party?

Voting only does so much. The republicans literally had the biggest win in a decade maybe even two and the left is still able to make musk hurt, not to mention there is no guarantee that republican politicians will be loyal to trump, I mean for fucks sake judges on the Supreme Court that are supposed to be on our side are flipping for the libs
