  • It is not. Writing “wash me” is not vandalism. This is not vandalism. Outside of the courtroom, reality is more important than a legal definition.

    Moreover, legal definitions are irrelevant to whether an act is moral. Your fixation on this point in the face of so many people highlighting that no harm has been done again suggests you’re not arguing in good faith.



  • What will it accomplish?

    It’s not directed at the owner, but bystanders.

    If you didn’t know or care that musk was a self confessed nazi, seeing vandalized teslas is still likely to discourage you from buying one. We’re social primates and forceful, visible displays of disapproval work.

    Isolating a nazi brand and putting downward pressure on sales is vastly more important than an overwhelmingly wealthy demographic - tesla owners - having to use their insurance (worst case) or spend 5 minutes washing their car (as in OP’s example).


  • hard for everyone

    People who are struggling can’t afford teslas.

    educate people

    Musk supporters don’t change their opinion based on information. Tesla owners who bought before they realized musk is a nazi don’t need education.

    Vandalizing an object that materially supports fascism is obviously morally acceptable.

    Through UCLA’s Technology Transfer Group, which transforms brilliant research into global market products, the scientists have co-founded a medical development company called Pelage Pharmaceuticals

    In case you were curious how this publicly funded research is going to be turned into private profits.
