This post is a bit off-topic: it’s about anti-fascism, not anti-car-centricity. It’s great, don’t get me wrong, but it belongs in a different community. I’m not going to remove it for now since folks are already commenting on it, but please refrain from posting similar in the future.
Understandable, this was just the first community that came to mind
It’s wild to think that the political valance of this has flipped 180 degrees. Not long ago, I would have assumed that this was done to trigger the libs.
If you have followed Elon Musk beyond just his public “tech guy” persona it’s not as much of a 180 as you’d think. At least in terms of Musk. The public perception of him has done a swap but I’d still say it’s inaccurate. The fact that we have a “party swap” on a billionaire like this is mostly testament to how both parties work for capitalist billionaire interests in their own way.
Musk has always been a narcissist. His political goals have always been aligned with his capital and seizing of power. If he could get to the same place he was today by being an oil Barron he would have done so. It should be a wake up call for people that associate their political beliefs with red or blue to realize how flexible these parties are in serving the interest of billionaires. And not necessarily a “shift” in Musk. Musk has always been this way.
This is a WWII vet. Them dying off is part of why fascism is back on the rise.
That and the absolute failure of “Denazification” in favor of “fighting communism” following WW2. The western powers aligned with former Nazis instead of purging them from any political position.
We’ve had a generation of Nazi sympathizer in power building to this moment. And while the actual brown shirts may be dead their children are very much trying to take up where their parents failed. Musk being an obvious example.

Really? In Fuck Cars? You’re celebrating an old dumb fuck destroying an EV with his vehicle that is far worse than any car will ever be?
So it’s not really fuck cars then, eh?
Good use of tank.
This is what I would expect my late Grandfather and Great-Grandfather (both fought for USA in WWII) would be doing, and also probably punching their sons in the face for who they voted for 3 times in a row.
Eliminate hatred.
Eliminate the right.
Wow, what a miraculous recovery!
I mean it’s a tank… what did you expect it to do? Age is almost a useless descriptor. It’s a giant tracked vehicle made to traverse major terrain.
Edit - def read that wrong in the doof ty for catching
I get the feeling you think the tank is 98 years old.
To be fair…
veteran Ken Turner used a Sherman tank, one of the most widely used tanks used by the US and its western allies against the Nazis in World War II
…the tank is WWII-era as well as its driver, so it’s at least 68 years old. (According to Wikipedia, the M4 Sherman was produced between 1942 and 1957.) Not 98, but definitely an antique.
I def read that wrong my mistake. Thank you for correcting
This guy is fun at parties.
Read the title again, it’s the driver who’s 98
cool…?
