Elon is playing dirty, so should the UK and EU. Hit him where it hurts. Ban the sale of Teslas. The enemy is at the gates.

I'm confident that many countries have massive Tesla tariffs being readied to roll out in response to the Trump tariffs coming tomorrow.

Raccoons sometimes create temporary 'day beds' in thick brush or dense vegetation.

    Bankrolling a neo-nazi party (AfD) and almost the Reform Party is not shit posting.

      I wasn't aware of that but wouldn't it be against the principles of democracy to penalize someone due to their political beliefs?

        That line was crossed a long time ago with cancel culture, so this isn't news.

        God I'm so tired of these pathetic attempts at evading the point. No, it's not against the principles of democracy to fight back against someone trying to destabilize your democracy. The tolerance paradox applies here, Elon is begging, daring the UK to do something, and all is fair in love and war.

      AfD is not a neo-nazi party. They are one of the oldest parties and the second largest party in Germany, and there is a "pro-democracy" move to ban them and attack their members. They are conservative nationalists but so what? The whole point of any political party is supposed to be to look out for the country itself and its constituents first. I'm so sick and tired of liberals acting like it is some kind of ultimate racist evil to be against excessive immigration. I'm also really tired of having to be concerned with European politics. But for whatever reason, most Western countries have similar issues with bad policies.

        [Granted, many of the current political parties in Germany are from '45 so also not that old, but one of the oldest parties is a strange claim]

          Perhaps they meant that AfD is a spiritual successor to one of the oldest, even pre '45 parties? You know, the one with similar ideas.

      • quickslowdown 10 hours ago

        AfD is not the oldest, or even that old of a party. And they absolutely are neo Nazis. Not sure if you're thinking about another party, or just sympathetic to their garbage worldview, but ignorance isn't an excuse to carry water for Nazis.

        What? They were founded in 2013.

        As for being "nationalist conservative":

        > In January 2017, Höcke in a speech stated, in reference to the Berlin Holocaust Memorial, that "Germans are the only people in the world who plant a monument of shame in the heart of the capital" and criticized this "laughable policy of coming to terms with the past"

        ^ that is just one of the rather mild things that are just a constant in that milieu.

        Im also sick and tired of Liberals not realising that they are abetting corporate slavery via excessive immigration and rationalizing it that they are helping these immigrants. And arguing ”we need skilled immigrants”. What these Liberals are advocating is brain draining these countries which helps to perpetuate their poverty and backwardness if you take all their educated and skilled people.
