So, what I’m interested in here is: what the fuck are you gonna do about it, orangeboi? Bitch and moan? What’s the punishment for boycotting the brand? Spell it out for me. I want you, or eel-on-musk, to explain what you’re going to do to directly counter this “illegal boycott” - putting aside the fact that that combination of words makes about as much sense as “aerodynamic bedsheet”.

Everyone who doesn't purchase a Tesla by 2026 is getting deported.
Don't give them the ideas!
I dunno, at this point please send me to another country.
this guy wouldnt know 'illegal' if he grabbed it by the pussy
Are you suggesting that convicted felon Donald Trump lacks respect for the law?
don't forget rapist. Drumpf is a rapist.
Like I get it, kind of, the need to call him stupid. But we need to move past this and start calling it what it is. Power consolidation, violations of the constitution, a fucking coup. Him and his handlers know exactly what they’re doing.
Would be nice if someone hacked a fleet of teslas to full-self-drive straight to the landfill.
I called it! I said they'd try and do a reverse class action lawsuit and sue people for not buying his cars.
"Free" market
"Free" "market"
Fixed that for you.
Aww cry harder trump
To Agent Orange, "illegal" means "me no like."
I'm a criminal.
Welcome to the club - sincerely all stoners pre-prohibition (Canadian)!
I'll smoke crumbs from my 40 year old carpets before I pay taxes on weed after all those decades of gleeful persecution and prosecution. The things Fantino used to say about pot users in the newspaper, and now he's a canabis magnate. Fuck that, it's black market for life.
You say that, but before weed was legal here i was buying ounces for anywhere from $150-$200 with extremely inconsistent quality.
Nowadays if you don't care about quality you can get an ounce as cheap as $60 Additionally, you can get an ounce of legitimately good weed for around $100.
And honestly, the benefit of being able to grow our own legally is pretty nice.
Aside from that I truly do understand the whole "taxation is theft" thing, but that has far more to do with the government's mismanagement of tax revenue than the taxes themselves. Taxes are necessary for subsidy and they make important necessities far more affordable. If the additional revenue from cannabis was actually used properly, I'd be extremely happy about that especially since I'm actually spending less on weed now than before.
And whatever, fuck fantino, everyone with a brain in their head can tell he's full of shit.
Oh, don't get me wrong, I am glad that legalization finally happened, and I do benefit from it. But the state and the capitalists that ultimately won/bought us legal weed (thanks?) don't benefit from my addiction.
My concern is not an abstract one about taxation/theft, it's about the disrespect of cannabis users slipping without a transition into the exploitation of cannabis users. I don't know what exactly is going on, but my spidey senses say not to be involved in that.
Y'know what, I get that. I can respect your reasons to not partake in legal weed.
Based on his past behavior, I think we can all agree that of all the things this dumbass doesn't know, what's legal or illegal is definitely top of that list.
"Well, maybe it's not illegal yet, but it will be soon."
-Republicans, probably.
Hahahaha.
So whiny.
Why not just cut to the chase, make a presidential order saying that everyone must buy a Tesla and if you don't (or can't) you will be punished?
OPEC is not gonna like Krasnov pushing EV's
Does anyone have a link to the post? I did not see it In the article
So it's now illegal not to buy a product?
Yes, see Israel.
Before people start throwing around the Mussolini quote, as much as I'd LIKE to believe it, apparently it can't be sourced. :(
The quote isn't WRONG, it just can't be sourced to Mussolini.
https://politicalresearch.org/2005/01/12/mussolini-corporate-state
“Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.” — Benito Mussolini
It is generally attributed to an article written by Mussolini in the 1932 Enciclopedia Italiana with the assistance of Giovanni Gentile, the editor.
The quote, however, does not appear in the Enciclopedia Italiana in the original Italian.
Giovanni Gentile being otherwise known as the philosopher of fascism and the guy putting ideas straight into Mussolini's brain. Whether it's a paraphrase or direct translation, the idea itself is certainly covered by the more famous "everything within the state" quote and describes an undeniable goal of fascism.
Translation: Stop resisting!
Then deport me to Norway.
Another episode in the series: "Krasnov Speaks".
what does that even mean? everyone who does not buy a Tesla within a month is a criminal and will be imprisoned?
Your not allowed to do that
