I can't believe people still use Twitter.
I keep getting arguments from peoplee about this, even on Bluesky.
Apparently it's too much to expect people to inconvenience themselves and not follow their favorite musicians or whatever.
If the vast majority of people can't be assed to take the absolutely easiest step possible to fight (or avoid supporting) fascists/Nazis, then we really are fucked.
Same thing with how people could very, very easily choose just NOT to buy another Nazicar. Yet 90% if Americans still bought one last month as a year earlier. It's just about the smallest sacrifice I can think of - just buying a DIFFERENT car that you might not like quite as much.
And I think the fact that we are where we are right now also confirms the problem.
Are you saying 90% of Americans bought a Tesla last month?
Nah, they're saying sales have only dropped by 10% from 2024, in the US. Which is fucked up.
Wonder if that's because left aligned types had already quit buying them in '24? He was already being a total fuckhead during the election at that point.
Hell of a way to squeeze a statistic.
Yeah reading it again, they are saying year over year, last month (June) sales were down 10%.
They phrased it very oddly. Like the kind of way you phrase things when you are trying to spin an agenda.
None of that helps. The facts speak for themselves. We don’t need to embellish to make the point. That only invites challenge to our credibility.
I completely agree. Making statistics lie is a dark art.
The fascist fuckheads and their followers are doing so much blatantly evil shit that there is no need to embellish anything. The plain facts are plenty apalling all by themselves.
