Very powerfull design. Thanks for sharing. A minimalistic approach here: https://mein-piratenshop.de/Aufkleber-Hitlerverbot-OE-9-5-cm/201823000
- Make a simple solid stencil with this image on something thick like cardboard, plywood, or foam board
- Tape the stencil to the bottom of a large paper or cloth reuseable bag and cut out the bottom of the bag so the stencil shows thru.
- Put a can of spray paint in the bag.
- Put the bag up against walls, sidewalks, etc.
- Spray paint stencil on things
The big sides of beer cases are lightweight, easy to conceal, and perfect for this. If you have a jacket with a liner, you can cut a thin line it with a razor knife and nobody will find your stencils.
*Spray paint stencil on tesla’s
There was a photo of a Tesla in Vienna, Austria with a swastika sprayed on the hood. It’s started.
You mean swasticars?
You are aware that very many Tesla drivers bought their cars before Elon went full-retard.
I’m on your side, but I’m not selling my car.
I do hope you’ll notice the anti-nazi sticker on it.
They wont. Its irrational but a large group views your car as a drivable hate symbol. Irrationality is kind of how strong emotions work. (Kind of like how truck bois would coal roll and slash the tires of prius owners)
Yeah Republicans sure are known for buying electric cars, right? Damaging people’s cars because you lost an election is stupid to begin with but this is something else.
To be fair, almost everyone I’ve met who bought a cybertruck is conservative. Swastika that shit up.
Man if you people spent even a fraction of the time organizing locally that you do LARPing about painting swastikas on the cars of potentially innocent people, you might actually have a union or local socialist group.
On the other hand I don’t want you psychopathic clowns in my union.
I didn’t realize the straw man factory had a union.
Yeah but in total war, you take the fight to the enemy anywhere you find them.
I’m not your enemy. Tesla drivers are not your enemy. Look for actual signals, not false signals.
By the logic you’re stating, all Ford drivers should be harassed too, because Henry Ford did business with Nazi Germany. Toyota drivers should be harassed because Toyota got their start with military trucks for the Japanese Imperial Army during World War II. By that reasoning, we’d have to scrutinize nearly every major corporation for their historical ties.
If we’re going to address systemic issues, let’s focus on meaningful actions and accountability rather than blanket blame or misdirected hostility.
ok do it fuck mega corps
Please do. Show us how it’s done. Build your own car. Deploy your own technology and access it on your own smartphone/computer that definitely doesn’t have Apple, Samsung, Qualcomm, TSMC (and many others) designed and built parts. Grow your own wheat and capture and store your own solar energy on batteries that you’ve mined and refined the minerals yourself. Build your own home.
Now do all of that without a single mega-corp product. Rules are rules; nope you can’t even buy a hammer if it was produced or sold by a megacorp.
Turns out that even cyberpunks need corpo shit too. But good luck on your violent anti-corp rebellion—you’re going to need it.
why would I need a car or batteries or some lame do nothing worth nothing app? you don’t need all this tech as bad as you think you do. stop using your consoomer corporate slave brain
I also bought a Tesla before we knew he was a Nazi. Now we don’t know what to do with it because we’re probably leaving the country soon, so selling it, buying a new car, then selling THAT a few months later means we’ll bleed money.
I love the car but hate that fuck.
Just don’t forget the cameras :)
Excellent plan!
Internet disinformation is making this regime seem far more popular than it is. Don’t let that bullshit dishearten you, that’s what the fascists want. The majority is not cool with this, and we can stop it.
It’s hard to believe that “the majority is not cool with this”, because that fucker did win the elections. The American people voted for him, how could it be that the majority doesn’t want exactly what he’s doing?
Remember these are all human beings, many of whom have complex motivations: it is unwise to make assumptions about the one choice you know they made. Try just asking them why they voted for him and what they expect to happen.
Because the voting system of USA is bad at reflecting what people really want. It was designed from beginning to not be fair.
I think Proportional representation was a checkbox on some of the ballots in the USA.
It is so much better.
There was at least some fuckery involved in their win, admittedly.
Gerrymandering and them nullifying voter registrations definitely had a pronounced impact.
Indeed. And I was referring to Trump’s weird rambling that “Elon Musk knows ‘those vote counting computers’”. There is also this report pointing to vote manipulation in Clark County, NV : https://electiontruthalliance.org/clark-county%2C-nv (and hopefully more reports to come)
Proof? Where is the denounce to the authorities? Does the opposition know? China and Russia would love any info on that, given that their fully sourced counter intelligence apparatus couldn’t detect any signal of the elections being a fraud, and you with zero resources, did.
I can’t keep up with the propaganda from the GOP.
Sometimes Russia and China are omnipotent and scary bad guys that can do anything. Then sometimes they are bumbling and dumb bad guys that just can’t do anything right. In the case of Russia, sometimes they are the misunderstood good guys.
Oh and I forgot, where does the US right stand on Jews now? They were the bad guys faking history but in the last few years they are the good guys. Now that indiscriminate killing in Gaza is over, is the GOP going back to the status quo of pre-2023? After Musk’s salutes and the response from the right it does seem like that is going to be the case.
The GOP fanfic of the world is just so confusing and ever changing.
All the new voter suppression laws are public information. 🧌
Most people didn’t vote.
That is objectively false. https://ballotpedia.org/Election_results,_2024:_Analysis_of_voter_turnout_in_the_2024_general_election
A majority voted. 2/3 of America wanted Trump to win. Even if you factor in voter suppression, then it is probably > 3/5. 1/3 of america is openly fascist, <=1/3 of america literally will not lift one single finger to do the easiest thing possible to fight fascists. They 100% will not do the harder things and will do whatever the fascist regime tells them to.
That leaves 1/3 that at least have the courage to spend the minuscule effort to go and vote, but it is objectively true that the majority of americans voted and that the majority of america either wanted Trump badly or wanted trump enough to not vote for his opponent.
A plurality of the people who voted is not the same as the majority of people in the US.
I’ll note that he didn’t win a majority, just a larger majority than Harris. This win was narrower than his first one iirc, the swing state bullshit just made it seem more dramatic
None of this would’ve happened without the electoral college bullshit.
I mean not voting is often/in many places the most popular American presidential candidate, obviously not just because plenty are stupid or apathetic, but also because it’s been made pretty hard to vote in many places.
It’s more accurate to say that the majority didn’t (manage to) vote against him. So the conclusion is more like the majority didn’t care enough to prevent this, instead of the majority wanted this.
To you it might feel no different but seen from the outside it very much is different. The consequences are still bad, but your consequence shouldn’t be resignation, Americas citizens failed themselves sure but they aren’t overwhelmingly monsters.
With the amount of fuckery in terms of media and the whole election process in the US this is a more fair assesment.
Because unfortunately we’re a selfish country. That’s just how it is…
The options proffered were “genocide by a blue president”, or “genocide by a red president.” This election was incapable of recognizing a majority position of “no genocide”.
The best way to get to no genocide was elected the only party that could win, and that was even thinking of ceasefires.
True, and not at all related to the point I was truing to make.
“America’s favorite color” has a ballot featuring chartreuse, mauve, and taupe. This ballot cannot recognize a majority opinion of red, blue, or green. Those options are simply not present.
Likewise, the ballot we were given in November had no ability to recognize “no genocide” as a majority opinion.
A ballot is like a train, it gets you as close to your destination as possible
That’s a reasonable analogy.
Of course, when every station is further from your destination than from where you originally started, there’s no point in even getting on the train.
Sure, but if no station would get you anywhere close to where you want to be I’m not sure what you’re looking for from any political party.
Regime? My god you people are insane, and the actual proof you’ve never lived inside an actual regime is this type of comments.
Try to even say something like this on an actual regime, and prepare your ass to be tortured non stop for months.
Can’t find you? Don’t worry, your family will work for that as well. No family? Friends and acquaintances will do in a pinch.
Citizens in a real regime are afraid to even talk in public forums because they know there are intelligence agents running spy operations on them .
You people cheapen the torture and barbarism that real people suffer daily just to feel self righteous in your fake posturing and virtue signaling.
Absolutely disgusting
Are you really gate-keeping fascism?
Just because we can see this coming, and it’s not terrible yet doesn’t mean it’s not terrible.
The kind of person you are calling ‘disgusting’ is empathetic to all forms of oppression and not just focused on the US local landscape – we just see it happening here right now and are calling it out. We have also been calling it out when it occurs elsewhere.
Doing anything to limit or inhibit the spread of information about what is occurring is more disgusting than being fascist to begin with. Fuck off.
That is their goal and we are trying to avoid getting there. Democracy is fragile and what you’ve described is a very likely possibility that we must stop.
Dude shut up you fucking dork.
BRING BACK LUIGI!!! 😚👌
Bring back Ryan Routh
That’s some cool graphic design there.
aren’t they just symptoms of a manipulated electorate done by financial and political elites aligned with specifically right leanings (Rupert murdoch et al)?
the people that rise to the top of a shit system are indeed pieces of shit but we neglect the 70million idiots that will defend them because fucking Jesus and guns.
Donelon Trumusk
Or Dolon Trusk 🤭
Can we do a HAL/IBM trick here and go for
Colon?
Holy shit I never knew. All these years… Thanks!
Happy to be of service.
No one voted for him. Why defend him?
Once Trump dies in his sleep from medical, where’s this guy going to be? Vance is Theil owned. Theil and musk do not get along, going way back.
I have a feeling they all mostly put up with each other but can’t stand the other one bit. I can’t remember how many times some petty news broke about their squabbles only for them to call each other the greatest of friends when it’s convenient. Like Ramaswampy saying all this shit behind Trump’s back, getting on his good side only to get his face eaten later. And Greene accusing Boebert of stealing her thunder. Good god, they all sound like toddlers.
There’s this idea of developmental arrest. Zuckerberg is cited as such. Instead of growing up and developing normally, as a human, past the age of 25, a landfall hit, sure, from his own machinations, but as such his further brain development outside the focus of his business was halted. And this is how you get a mall ninja entrepreneur who carries a samurai sword around the office threatening to chop everyone for not doing a good job. In his 20s. I can’t imagine the lack of effort involved in growing up incredibly privileged isnt a factor, depending. I say that not as a guaranteed happening but as the easy path without checking yourself, like water naturally running downhill.
Same with Elon. The obsession with X as a name seems like an exemplar item on that. It’s like the name you use for something when 420-69 is already taken. He tried it with PayPal. He tried it with Tesla. He finally gets to use it on Twitter as a grown ass man decades later. I liked stickers as a kid, but I’m not slapping them on all my belongings at 40+.
Developmental delay doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t be smart, capable, or even genius. Broaden the parameters. It can mean you are a genius coder but have the emotional intelligence of a cucumber.

People need to nut up and do something other than posting dumbass memes that don’t change anything in the echo chamber.
Okay. You first.
For all we know, she is holed up in a bunker, up to the tits with guns
Number 1: I’d like to see that. Number 2: How would hiding in a bunker with guns effect any more change than posting memes on Lemmy?
I would argue that graffiti has often gone hand in hand with rebellion against the status quo. It has a place just as diplomacy and violence do.
There is no one way to fight a war.
Enemy? Are you in a war now?
I’d be happy to see you all fighting on the streets, would be a nice change from talking about democracy, acting as if you ever cared for it, and actually putting your money where your mouth is
BTW, lovely putting up the multi colored emojis, that will surely distract the minorities that were and keep being lambasted on Lemmy as the cause of losing the election (I don’t know why, tho, it’s clear you people don’t care about democracy)
I’d be happy to see you all fighting on the streets
Says more about you than us.
the minorities that were and keep being lambasted on Lemmy as the cause of losing the election
Lemmy is not a single place. Just block those instances. We all know which ones you are referring to.

It’s an ideological war. Not all wars are fought with combat, like the Cold War.
And yes, my stupid POC family either voted for Trump or didn’t vote. What of it? I get to call them stupid all day every day because they did that when it could’ve been a historic voter turnout against fascists instead. One of them just got her citizenship, too, so good for her getting hers and she said fuck the rest.
Like the War on Drugs. War on Crime. War on Poverty. Of course these were all stupid in their concept and/or execution but you get the idea.
…yes it is called US healthcare and affording rent!
I don’t know any better word for it, there are battle lines drawn, tens of thousands dead for meaningless reasons and soldiers everywhere fighting in hand to hand combat to feed their kids and access life saving healthcare they already paid for.
It sure as hell looks like a war to me, otherwise you have to explain to me this no mans land I am in full of the cries of the suffering and dying as their lives are brutally dissected by the 1% in the pursuit of the drug of having more money.
Would “slaughter” be more fitting than “war”? Technically yes, but we all know how powerless we are, there is no need to ruminate on it, calling it a war gives gives each other the chance to feel solidarity in our resistance.
