If you’re going to reply wishing for my death at the hands of a mob, don’t be such a pussy and delete it after a few downvotes.
Yeah, sorry. It was a bit too much. You’re comment still pisses me off, but I’ve crossed the line.
Big fan of Silicon Valley? Or just Waymo?
Not especially. Maybe it’s the war happening next door, but I’ve became increasingly sensitive to people condoning a physical violence for a greater good. (And yes, I realize the irony). Having the ability to just walk the street without getting hurt is an incredible privilege that people often disregard.
It’s a robot car, made by tech oligarchs who are currently eating the world alive.
Fuck them.
I don’t give a shit who owns the car. The car is inconsequential. Might as well be a trashcan, or a coffee shop. Lighting shit on fire on the street sets a dangerous precedent. The subsequent rioters won’t stop and check who’s property they’re about to vandalize. It might as well belong to you, or your family. That was my entire point.
They didn’t continue to destroy the area. There wasn’t a mass attack on people, or other property.
Tech companies own the California political and legal systems. Alphabet/Waymo used that ill-gotten influence to bypass the will of the citizens and be allowed to use SF as the testing grounds for this new technology.
With the political and legal systems are already bought and paid for, your suggestion is what? That they just submit?
