Why do people roll coal? Why do vandalize electric car chargers? Why do people tie ropes across bike lanes?
Because a changing world is scary and people lash out at new things.
The coal rollers think they're fighting a vallient fight against evil corporations too, they invested their effort into being a car guy and it doesn't feel fair that things are changing so they want to hurt people benefitting from the new tech.
The deeper I get into this platform the more I realize the guise of being 'progressive, left, privacy-conscious, tech inclined' is literally the opposite.
