How to get your vehicle keyed
Won’t somebody please think of the cars?
So the woman who in frustration said the “DDD, you’re next” words to insurance company denying her claim is charged with terrorism, but this is fine? even though a lot more non-CEOs have been killed this way on multiple occasions including last week, compared to that one CEO killed in an act that wasn’t even terrorism.
This looks photoshopped but i don’t know why. The bottom line of text has no warping while the top line + image have more noticable warping.
Don’t promote violence … against your fellow slaves.
Get off the fucking road and hurt the people responsible.
Mamma Mia!
except he didn’t
the CEO (forgot his name) was only a player. The ones responsible are the legislators that make (or refuse to make in this case) the rules.
not sure i would agree with this necessarily, given that many of these CEOs are the reasons the laws get made in the first place with their lobbying. definitely feels like an effective message was delivered. if only we could get on delivering it 16 or 17 more times
I don’t think I can drive into the C suite of a high rise building Fast & Furious style due to physics existing.
not with that attitude
Seven Eleven was a part time job
I mean it’s a terrible movie so don’t take this as a positive review, but:
Bruce Willis drove a car through an airborne helicopter in Die Hard 4, there’s always a way with enough pent up vengeance.
Because advocating running people over totally isn’t encouraging violence 🙄
Not running people over, running poors over
Assuming the mods name relates to the sub name.
The sub exists to make fun of those people sharing their message with silly stickers.
The redditor actively doing the same (obviously not just making fun of the car owner).
So obviously this sticker and mod are fucking awful, but it’s worth keeping in mind that, if you’re at a protest or even just crossing the street, it doesn’t matter who’s right when it comes to a car vs the human body if push comes to shove. I’ve seen protesters (rightfully) call out a car for trying to push through them, but they also started mobbing the car, which in turn panicked the driver who then recklessly sped off. Thankfully no one on foot seemed seriously injured, but it made me wonder what they thought was going to happen by surrounding the driver like that. Protest away, but keep your safety (and others) in mind, too.
I don’t like the attitude behind it, but taken by itself, the phrase “all lives splatter” is kinda funny.
Still, you’re a dick if you put this on your car.
It’s a riff and disparagement of the saying “Black Lives Matter”, which in and of itself rules out any funniness, imo. That it’s about threatening violence against pedestrians just makes it worse.
Could be taken as a riff on “all lives matter”, the racists’ retort to Black Lives Matter. But then you’d need to have tiki torches and klansmen being run over.
Agreed, you’re a dick if you put this on your car.
You’re also a dick if you stand in the road, blocking traffic instead of, say, a gas station.
Protests must cause inconvenience or they are simply ignored.
Yeah, that’s kinda my point: How the hell is the oil industry being inconvenienced by obstructing traffic?
What they are accomplishing by standing in the street is convincing the general public to make jaywalking a felony.
What they are doing is illegal; they clearly don’t have a problem violating the law to achieve their goals. That doesn’t bother me so much; civil disobedience is a cornerstone of civic action. What pisses me off is that they are targeting victims of the oil industry, rather than the perpetrators.
If they insist on taking illegal actions, there are plenty they could take without targeting victims. The could rob gas stations or muffler shops, for example. They could threaten to torch new ICE cars on dealer lots. That would force them to hire overnight security, and would raise the insurance rates on every ICE car dealer.
Target the fucking oil industries, and stay the fuck out of the roads.
Not all protests are against oil companies.
Obstructing general traffic is only a valid form of protest if your cause is “increase the penalties for jaywalking” or “general misanthropy”.
Oil companies get targeted all the time, but it’s mostly the protests that affect many people that make it to the news
The last time an ICE car dealership was torched in connection with a protest was four years ago in Kenosha, and it wasn’t even for environmental activism.
Muffler shops are only necessary for ICE vehicles; When has a muffler shop ever been involved in a protest?
Many states have emission testing requirements for ICE cars; when have testing facilities ever been targeted by environmental protesters?
JSO could immediately increase the costs of doing business to ICE dealerships, (and gain notoriety), simply by writing letters to ICE dealerships demanding that they put only electric vehicles on display.
They are still ignored, or turn the population away from your propositions.
There is evidence to suggest that you are wrong

A bit of a long shot, isn’t it:
Unfortunately, the same poll showed that the protest did not have any measurable effect on feelings about the radical group, or climate policy
So, people didn’t change the way they see the protesters, didn’t support their cause any bit more, but were more sympathetic to people that protested in a less disruptive way (without actually agreeing with them).
If you want to call this a win, ok, but it’s a really tiny one.
I didn’t say that the protests like this make massive measurable positive effect. You claimed they had negative impacts on what the protestors wanted to achieve. Which according to this single study was incorrect in this instance, and in fact it may help the more moderate protestors.
You claimed…
Dude, you are replying to my first post on the conversation.
Anyway, that one study is about a very widely known cause. People don’t change their minds about those easily, neither for supporting nor for opposing it. Also, beware of social studies that find tiny effects.
It only takes 3.5% of the population to peacefully protest and create change.

So, in actually, your sentiment is factually incorrect.
They have had more success convincing governments to increase the penalties for jaywalking.
They would have better results picketing a gas station.
They’d have much better results targeting ICE cars on dealer lots.
I think the road might be a better option than those last two. They’re private property, which gives cops an excuse to beat up protesters for trespassing and refusing to comply.
The only valid metric to measure against is their stated intent. Harassing the general public is only a “better option” if their intention is to stiffen the laws against jaywalking, as that is the only effect they have managed to achieve.
Common logic, mass downvoted by Lemmy; not surprising at all.
They’ll come around eventually. Have a little faith.
Oh, well I guess I hope this mod gets nonviolently hit by a car
Funny but I saw the original post and I’m pretty sure the point was to mock or chastise the person who had this bumper sticker, not celebrate it. So it doesn’t seem inconsistent to allow it while also removing that comment.
You cannot do violence against property.
You cannot do violence against someone else’s property.
You are property of the ruling class, and so they (or their henchmen) are free to damage you.
I completely agree but that’s a conclusion that requires someone to think deeply about these topics and challenge the common definition of words. Most people haven’t done that, so I was setting that aside in this case. I don’t really blame people for not having challenged deeply held belief systems and categories of transgressive behavior in our society, much as I wish they would.
Kind of funny, in a dickish way
… but it would be karmic if it were used to establish intent
As seen on the back of the New Orleans rampager’s blood spattered carnage truck.
Don’t promote violence ^^against your fellow man^ CEOs are Okay though, they can afford security^
Maybe this was said ironically.
Or literally: Mod was saying “you must not promote violence; you must commit it”.
I like this kind of humor. Not all protests deserve this, but I’m sure some do.
