    France,

    Once upon a time you came to America and helped us defeat a king.

    Any chance you can come teach us how to protest? You folks seem to have perfected your technique.

      Step 1) Be entitled

      Step 2) Have politicians whine that you’re entitled

      Step 3) Remind them physically that you’re entitled to be entitled or they’ll be sorry

      Step 4) Profit

    I’ve made fun of the French all my life for being smelly cowards, but perhaps we Americans are the smelly cowards.

    Sorry France. Clearly you know how to get shit done.

      We Americans have been propagandized all our lives to look down on the French, even before they whole “freedom fries” dumbfuckery.

      We need to show them more respect.

        It’s the same with other EU countries, NATO article 5 has been triggered once, after 911. We came to help and lost many soldiers in Afghanistan etc. Now Russia is a major thread to Europe and the US is actively helping Russia.

        While you may be right, I still want to make sure the Finns get credit for naming these home made petrol bombs since the origin of the name is just so badass.

        No, for resisting fascism instead of kissing oligarchs’ behinds in an attempt to ratioanlize immorality.

        To some extent, we are all paralyzed by the immense complexity of the world and we all have two choices:

        1. resist
        2. give up, comply, and conform

        Should we assume you’ve made your choice?

    I read a great comment on here from someone that destruction of Teslas on a lot is not the right tactic or is not as effective because of they simply get replaced (and more get made) and paid for with insurance money.

    I read that spray painting personal Teslas is great for spreading the fear in media so that people don’t buy one in the first place and they sit unsold on lots.

    The orgional person that said it was much better with the points than me. Did anyone else see it / can link it it?

      It’s the same tactic as getting rid of pigeons. You don’t destroy the eggs, you make them unusable (plaster eggs). Because destroyed eggs are immediately replaced by the pigeons with functioning eggs.
