First as in first of many.
Anyone surprised? The France don’t like Swasticars
I’m loving France these days!
For burning Elon’s property?
Yes
That’s nasty
For having very few hydrants 🤷♂️
No, for resisting fascism instead of kissing oligarchs’ behinds in an attempt to ratioanlize immorality.
To some extent, we are all paralyzed by the immense complexity of the world and we all have two choices:
- resist
- give up, comply, and conform
Should we assume you’ve made your choice?
Dozen Teslas torched outside French dealership: authorities
Toulouse (France) (AFP) – A dozen Teslas were torched in France in what authorities are treating as an arson attack, the prosecutor’s office said Monday.
The prosecutor’s office told AFP an investigation has been opened into Sunday night’s attack on a dealership near the southern city of Toulouse which left eight cars burned out.
Another four cars were badly damaged amid evidence the blaze was “not at all accidental”, said the prosecutor’s office.
Philippe Guyot, mayor of the Toulouse suburb of Plaisance-du-Touch, told AFP firefighters had quickly determined that the cause of the blaze was criminal, adding the dealership premises had not been targeted.
A handful of anti-Tesla actions have occurred in Europe since Elon Musk’s rapprochement with US President Donald Trump, his backing of European far-right parties and attacks on diversity.
Sales of Tesla cars halved year-on-year in January 2025 in Germany and France.
The average French must have a huge carbon footprint with all that arson going on
Any idea for eco friendly industrial sabotage? This is definitely purely hypothetical
Aren’t bodies compostable?
Like most meat, actually composting bodies would require a very hot composting temperature, constant mixing, and you’d want to put it through a grinder first, or else it won’t properly mix. Especially in the case of bones, those really need to be ground down so they can properly decompose.
Hypothetically, of course.
I envy the French and their ability to fucking be disobedient.
I read a great comment on here from someone that destruction of Teslas on a lot is not the right tactic or is not as effective because of they simply get replaced (and more get made) and paid for with insurance money.
I read that spray painting personal Teslas is great for spreading the fear in media so that people don’t buy one in the first place and they sit unsold on lots.
The orgional person that said it was much better with the points than me. Did anyone else see it / can link it it?
Paint ball guns do some real damage to a cars finish. Happened to my car before Tesla existed and the paint sunk into the finish and was impossible to cover up.
In high-school some people froze their paintballs and it made dents. I would never suggest it.
Tesla probably pays a lot more for insurance these days. Insurance companies are pretty evil, that works against Tesla in this case.
At this point burning cars is just as much part of french culture as the baguette
I really like that this says “first” as if they’re immediately anticipating more
The French national bird is a Molotov cocktail
France,
Once upon a time you came to America and helped us defeat a king.
Any chance you can come teach us how to protest? You folks seem to have perfected your technique.
Step 1) Be entitled
Step 2) Have politicians whine that you’re entitled
Step 3) Remind them physically that you’re entitled to be entitled or they’ll be sorry
Step 4) Profit
I feel like there should be a guillotine in there somewhere…
Well, that’s Step 3 in certain dire circumstances; except they end up sorry in hell. Most hope it never gets to that extreme.
I’ve been hoping it doesn’t get to that extreme but the hope feels fainter every day
I’ve made fun of the French all my life for being smelly cowards, but perhaps we Americans are the smelly cowards.
Sorry France. Clearly you know how to get shit done.
We Americans have been propagandized all our lives to look down on the French, even before they whole “freedom fries” dumbfuckery.
We need to show them more respect.
It’s the same with other EU countries, NATO article 5 has been triggered once, after 911. We came to help and lost many soldiers in Afghanistan etc. Now Russia is a major thread to Europe and the US is actively helping Russia.
I used to get into arguments about the “cowards” thing. Like yeah, they forfeit a time or two and lost a few fights. So have most countries, whether they let you know about it or not.
They have also been a global super power for at least as long as America has existed, or longer, depending on what you consider to be a super power. So yeah, they brushed up against a couple of rough patches in that time lol
They’re also a big part of the reason America won the Revolutionary War in the first place.
I think France has won more wars than any other nation in history.
