I stopped giving a pass to most Tesla driver a couple of months ago when I realized they've all had plenty of time to sell their cars

    If Subaru starts committing genocide, selling my car now isn't going to hurt them, only me.

    No, but selling your car in about a year, after you've had time to prepare shouldn't be too big if a deal, right? It's not about boycotting, it's about having some kind of line that you draw in the sand and say "No more".

    Let's go through a list of products you use and see how many are created by evil people. Very easy game to play.

    Obviously you can't do that, there no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism. Regardless, there are choices you can make. I have never will never eat a a Chick filet, for example. You have to have SOME line

    Yes yes yes, simply read the comment you replied to and you will see that I say exactly that. Just because you can't consume ethically under capitalism, doesn't mean that you should just say "Fuck it" and do whatever.

    This feels like when people are like, "Oh, vegetarian sounds good, but I could never. I simply love bacon too much" and then I inevitably say, "Okay, so why don't you try vegetarian+bacon then?"

    Ethics aren't binary.

    Selling a Tesla to another owner solves nothing, now you have a new owner you are hounding to sell it

    It solves the "You are not a Nazi but own a Nazi car" problem. Who gives a shit who you sell it to?

    The next person could unwitting buy it not knowing the elon Nazi thing. I think you over estimate the general publics awareness of what goes on.

    It solves nothing. Future sales should be the target.
