Elon has repeatedly been very obviously high in public, so it would really surprise me if he wasn't high more or less all the time.

Fuzz, I see you posted about Dougan in the AI thread. I didn’t know him but met him a few times. His LEO gossip/disinformation site was an item around here. I have no idea if he knew Trump before he defected but it is highly probable as he was a PBSO deputy, and they cover Mar a Lago.

I was buying lunch at Co-Op store while a couple were putting their groceries away into the back of their Tesla and someone in the parking lot yelled:

"Zig Heil!!"

I didn't see who did it, the wife seemed to ignore it but the husband looked fairly visibly distraught.

I was surprised but, I will admit to laughing. Its just not something one expects to hear in the Co-Op parking lot.

It was you wasn’t it. You yelled that out and looked around pretending it wasn’t you.

Almost every YouTube ad break I have one that is a local car paint shop specifically targeting Tesla owners who want to protect their car from vandalism. Like literally a whole 2 min ad dedicated to "worried about eggs on your Tesla?" "Want to tint your windows so no one see's you driving?" "Yes this can protect from spray paint!"

Pretty wild.

It actually was not. I'm not in the habit of harassing people in the parking lot and I couldn't care less if they bought and/or love their Tesla.

But that would have been funny. I'll have to remember that.

The big problem is you don't know if the person was yelling that because they like Elon or hate him. Like that guy a couple weeks ago who showed up to the Tesla protest dressed like Hitler, wearing a t-shirt with a picture of Musk giving the Nazi salute... and he was there in support of Tesla.

I was driving home today behind a Tesla and the owner is apparently ashamed of having a Tesla because they put a sticker over top of the rear badge but the sticker says "Antifa". It is an interesting message to send.

An anti-fascist sticker on a Tesla, a company who's leader is clearly fascist-friendly(at best interpretation) is "an interesting message"? I'd say it's spot on. "Sorry I bought car from a guy who turned out to be a fascist, which I am against. As shown by my sticker."


Do people on the right think calling out people who are against fascism some sort of win? That never really made sense to me. I just assume a good 95% of society is antifa. Which is a good thing.

Well...one would think, but the way of the World today is kind of sledding downhill in that regard.

Now. If you all elect me Supreme Ruler I promise to put a stop to it!

The trouble is, part of this whole meme riddled long con of the USA was spending years weaponizing slogans and phrases. I can’t wait for the docu-series on the troll farms one day. Anyone against their destruction of democracy was “antifa!”. Can’t call them anti-fascism, that’s a self tell. And when you say the word antifa, it sounds like a gang. Like ISIS or something.So it’s an organized gang with leaders if you phrase it a very specific way. Otherwise, is just normal people against oppression…
