    Good.

    Targeting a car company because you dislike its eccentric owner is legit crazy. It’s just as stupid as not buying something because it was manufactured or comes from Israel.

    Grow up and stop acting like a child.

      Boycott is a perfectly fine, non-violent form of protest, what’s your problem?

        It’s not boycotting when Tesla owners are being harasses, assaulted, having their vehicles damaged, and receiving death threats over the car they drive.

      Boycotting Israeli products is mandated by international law. Anything that helps Israel maintain the illegal occupation of the Westbank, Gaza and East Jerusalem is complicity and illegal. Israel launders products that are made in occupied territory and resources stolen in occupied territory as “made in Israel”. But even if product would have been made purely in the 1967 Israeli borders, the companies still pay taxes that are used to finance the army that is doing the occupation.

      If you think that upholding international law is crazy or childish i recommend you to look at the period from 1933 to 1945 that is often given as the reason why there was an effort to create international law.

      Yes, agreed on first part. Damaging vehicles causes unnecessary harm to car owners and the environment. I am for protest but not when it negatively impacts what you partially stand for.

      Disagree about negatively judging people around their buying/boycotting rationales.
