Snowflake, if you don’t like the article headline the author used, downvote and move on and email the author. Cripes, not everything is about you sweetheart.
No, its not about me, its about all of us here on Lemmy, and the quality of posts we get.
The post title is an exact and faithful copy of the linked article, though. There’s no editorializing here.
That’s one of my points. They could have changed the title of the Lemmy post (like what is done MOST of the time around here) to not match the subject of the article but instead be accurate for us Lemmy readers, and not just duplicate the same/wrong title. The “editorializing” in this case is the NOT correcting of the title in the Lemmy post.
So either the person who posted here on Lemmy didn’t read the article they posted about, or they decided to purposely carry forward the invalid title from the article, after having read the article. (Or, this is just an astroturfing article and we are all wasting our time commenting here.)
On Monday, Washington’s Metropolitan Police revealed that two people accused of vandalizing a Tesla windshield will be charged for “political hate speech.”
Not to be pedantic, and to be fair, but it is political speech. It’s definately not complaining about customer service or warranties.
The title of the post matches the title of the article, this isn’t a case of a poster editorializing.
I’m going to call b.s. on that one. I read the article. And so did others.
Edit: From the comment I initially replied to…
The article’s title does not match the content.
And how you replied to me replying to the above …
The title of the post matches the title of the article
I’m talking about the body of the text of the article vs its title, the same as the person that I replied to. I don’t care about the ‘red herring’ assertion you are making.
And while we are at it, the article title doesn’t match the body of the article itself.
I get how you want to ‘Kill the Messenger’ and diminish my rep here, but don’t be so literal/pedantic, and goal post moving.
The article’s title does not match the content. I read it and it does not talk about how Musk controls Trump. It talks about retaliation for those organizing protests against Tesla.
Welcome to Lemmy, where people’s personal agendas/marketing shape the titles of their posts.
From the article …
“What’s happening, it seems to me, is they’re being fed propaganda by the far left, and they believe it. It’s really unfortunate,” Musk continued, claiming that the “real problem” isn’t the “crazy guy” who attacks his vehicles but rather the people that push the “propaganda” that encourages him to do it.
“Those are the real villains here, and we’re going to go after them,” the DOGE chief warned. “The president has made it clear, we’re going to go after them.”
“The ones providing the money, the ones pushing the lies and propaganda? We’re going after them,” Musk said, casually pointing his fingers in the shape of a gun.
You need to make the connection that this is U.S. Government-sanctioned slavery.
Slavery existed in Africa for hundreds of years (unfortunately).
Its not a matter of knowing the history or not (I do), its a matter of using extreme dumb hyperbole (‘slave market’) in trying to make a point. Its bad conversation.
And it happen way too often here on Lemmy.
the US could reintroduce the slave market in Iran
Most (70%+) Iranians would welcome the U.S. getting rid of the Mullahs, freeing them.

I get the meme, but I don’t know how to apply it to this post.
Could someone elaborate?
This is a great idea, and I don’t want to discourage anyone from doing this, but FYI, be very careful on filling out the second link (‘HERE’) with your contact information.
Be sure to check out that ‘Privacy Policy’ link at the bottom of the page. Your contact info is available to the government, and that’s usually public information that others can see/use.
Isn’t it illegal to destroy classified documents without the proper clearances ahead of time?
I hate the ‘hate’ part (pardon the pun) of the question.
I’d rather go back in time and get Jesus and bring him back here so that he can go all ‘temple money changers’ on today’s MAGA Christians asses, give them a proper yelling to.
And economists have estimated that the trade policy will cost the typical US household more than $1,200 a year
Remember this, when you hear about tax cuts for the wealthy.
Will there be anymore goodwill for the USA?
As an American, my hopes and prayers are that the World will remember that approximately half of us are being held hostage inside of the clown car, and are being forced to go along for the ride.
The common version of the phrase…
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing,”
The actual version of the phrase…
“When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.”
Everyone: Shut up, hippy.
Don’t listen to them, when they tell you that. As far as you know, might even be an astroturfer, trying to kill this in the crib.
Call your House of Representative member and let them know that you want this bill to become law.
If we citizens don’t apply the pressure, nothing will happen.
And if your cynical about doing that, try it anyway, just as an experiment, to see what happens. Hell, even make a YouTube video about your experience doing so, for content.
Just say "Please let my representative know that I am in favor of the Bernie Sanders bill (Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act) for a 32 hour work week."
It’s just a phone call. A 32 hour work week is worth a single phone call, right?
no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism.
There was a time, long ago, where companies actually cared about their customers, and wanted to sell them good products while making a profit, and they strived for the win - win, and the “customer is always right” philosophy. They took their fair share, and they didn’t triy to squeeze every last dime out of their customers with crappy products.
Not that that they were saints by any stretch of the imagination (there were definitely bad players back then too) but there used to be a sense of ethics with Capitalism, in America at least, a sense of products being warrantied to work the way they should be and advertised as how they would actually work.
I have no effing idea how to get back to that state, as it seems like the “lunch for wimps” crowd are running the c-suites these days.
You must be fantastic at Community volunteer efforts/work. /s
