It doesn’t matter. They’re getting what they want. You can play nice and let them have what they want, or you can take some risks, stand for what you believe in, and fight back.

Gyatdam, I’m making magnets of this and posting them everywhere.
Everyone gets lost talking about this thing. Purchasing and driving a poorly-engineered or aesthetically-questionable vehicle isn’t the primary problem. That’s not unique. There have always been shitty vehicles.
People who drive these gave $80,000 to empower the Nazis. The fact that they’re shitboxes just underscores that conspicuous consumption and the support and affiliation for and with Fascism are the entire point.
Thank you for providing an implicit demonstration of the output of a grossly underfunded education system.

Yes, because if we weren’t captured by a single-party corporate system we wouldn’t be in this mess. Reactionary fascism arises from the material immiseration of the people.

People are going to have to do more than “punch Nazis” before long. If you’re clutching pearls over some high school punches, you need to wake up.
