“I have lots of progressive ideas in my head, I’m actually immune to propaganda despite my actual behavior that is entirely consistent with capitalist ideology”
AOC buying a Tesla isn’t “weird” or “anti-socialist”, rationally navigating marketplaces to find loopholes is within the ideological framework of being a technocratic PMC under neoliberalism. The entire idea of ‘tax rebates for electric vehicles’ is probably one of Biden’s main accomplishments lol
AOC’s mysterious death in a solo car accident countdown clock starts ticking
“I fuckin’ told ya, bro! Didn’t I tell ya! Shoulda’ listened to me!”“I drive a Tesla but I’m not a freak, I’m just exploiting the tax rebate lol” ideology isn’t what you believe, its what you do
You shouldn’t buy the overpriced, defect ridden car from the company run by the mobbed up business psycho plutocrat of the 21st century, Tesla.

He’s just recycling the same schtick that gave us Bush’s roads full of Hummers in the early 2000s. The Cybertruck is the Zoomer’s version of the H2 / Suburban / 4Runner.
Damn I really haven’t seen a Hummer is a while. They’re all a different kind of swollen thing
I’ve been seeing more hummers than i have in a decade. I don’t know where they all came from, its like people who got hard seeing the hummer EV but couldn’t afford one found a loop hole.
I don’t know where all these H2 and H3s came from but i’m amazed they’re even still on the road.
I’ve been seeing a lot of those big chonky Rivian trucks. I don’t even expect to see a cybertruck at this point
The Rivians are basically compact vehicles compared to the Hummer EV and the cyber truck.
I’m taking the third position and getting a Volkswagen
TIL, the Third Way is just a lane on the Autobahn.
AOC buying a Tesla is completely on brand for her art house progressive PMC aesthetics and values, which she has demonstrated again and again. I’d have been more surprised if she had bought an actually good hybrid like a RAV4.
who gives a fuck, tying ideological expression to product or media choices is a mistake. gotten to the point where people think reading one book but not another is activism.
Spitting straight fire here
…mostly from the battery compartment about five seconds after going over a speed bump in a strip mall parking lot
I mean, I wouldn’t buy a Tesla, but doesn’t this fall under “no ethical consumption under capitalism”? I’m not personally entirely thrilled by that phrase, but I’ve heard it a lot.
Well thats true but i think thats more reserved for basic commodities not the overhyped, overpriced self crashing Elon Musk car
It’s also applicable to EVs, just not the overhyped, overpriced self crashing Elon Musk car
Just to get some clarity, is the argument here that buying a Tesla is capitalist ideology because Elon? Is it that being motivated by “muh tax break” is fundamentally the same mentality as the bourgeoisie? Or is this it driving a car instead of taking public transit?
The middle one I think. Probably trying to make some point about purposefully choosing to participate in capitalist social reproduction
That doesn’t really make much sense to me even though I hate Elon M*sk and would love another reason to dunk on his worshippers
Yea idk what op is on either tbh
If Tesla made good EVs and the state is subsidizing it and I need an ev, I’ll take advantage of it lol, motivations behind the subsidy be damned
AOC buying a Tesla isn’t “weird” or “anti-socialist”, rationally navigating marketplaces to find loopholes
I mean, don’t most of us do that? I’ve been exploiting loopholes in Costcos warranty policy for years.
Telsa sucks and all but idk how this is any different from her buying a CRV besides aesthetics.
The solution is to stand in solidarity with our lesbian sisters and buy or preferably steal a Subaru
Caring about AOC’s choice of car is the real error
I just do it for the diamond lanes
imagine buying a car lmao
Death to America
I say this about twitch streamers, why are you falling for a MLM but ur a socialist
I mean yeah but also is buying a Tesla worse than buying any other kind of car? This is why I bought a motorcycle from
RussiaKazakhstan instead.
