I don't think you deserve to be shot. I think the obvious consequence of fucking with a population that hates you, that either directly or vicariously lives through the thing you're taking away, is them reacting like you'd expect them to. They don't need my encouragement to shoot anyone, only the barest justification to do so. You're attacking their private property, and if anything in a way that's a step up from dun takin' mah guns because it's the livelihood of them or someone they're directly connected to. I'm a Leninist and you're saying I shouldn't be able to efficiently grow mushrooms, unless you want me to upgrade to a worse truck by any material metric you haven't supplied, when those mushrooms are both my survival and the basis for my political project. You're saying I shouldn't be able to rehab animals unless you want to give me the keys to your car the next time I work with an aggressive ostrich or a shit-caked sheep or a horse. Those are things that at the very least make me apathetic to what the chuds will obviously do when your Nancy Pelosi-ass idea to solve climate change or toxic masculinity becomes policy.
This is unironically the 30-50 feral hogs argument but for a car, my dude. Nobody's saying you can't drive your mushrooms around. But pretending that you need a luxury lifestyle vehicle to do so isn't revolutionary.
The sale of new ICE vehicles will be banned in most of the western world by 2035. That's policy that people are going to have to accept, and even that is going to be too late to meaningfully impact climate collapse. People will go down kicking and screaming about their precious coal roller, I'm sure. In the meantime, defending this literal death drive of inefficient, impractical vehicles as lifestyle choice is absurd.
There are a handful of truck models I'd call luxury lifestyle vehicles. If your qualifier is just big truck, is your proletarian lifestyle alternative going to be multiple trips with a smaller truck or the same number of trips for the required volume with a larger and less efficient truck? Those cargo trucks will still need to exist to carry the food to your urban grocery that entirely depends on the efficient operation of people carrying heavy loads in their big trucks. 30-50 feral hogs makes sense in the context of Texan fields overrun by feral hogs. Where you're wrong is that you're privileged enough to not have to deal with work environments that all have 30-50 feral hogs running around. When those hogs are the most basic level of the entire logistics system and the bulk of this country's landscape, that argument means something real to a much larger number of people. It's not Texas farmers who need to shoot hogs, it's every farmer everywhere and everyone who identifies with farmers like Appalachians identify with coal miners. Give me something better than an AR-15 to kill hogs with or accept that you don't have to kill hogs because other people do for you, people you're alienating to your detriment.
Someone else is advocating mass murder of F-150 drivers here, it's the fucking internet and irony-poisoned Hexbear.net in particular, please spare us all this faux indignation.
Never mind the fact that that user was making a point about country people's capacity for terrorism broadly, not about whether you in particular deserve to die.
Love the implication that somebody getting told their dick truck is destroying the planet unnecessarily means I deserve to get shot, thanks
