    "Electric cars are just giving up your freedom!"

    Pretty lame dig at electric cars but Tesla actually does have an option that disables your car and has its location pinged for repossession reasons. Also elon has personally canceled people(s?) order cause they criticized Tesla lol. Idk the full story on that last one but it's definitely more of a elon/Tesla thing as opposed to electric car bad nonsense. Also all of these things can be done for some regular new gas cars. Kinda like that OnStar shit

      Just wait until self-driving cars become available. Shortly thereafter they will become mandatory and human drivers will be banned. Then, you'll have to tell the car where you want to go, and the car will have to check with the privately owned central computer (the private company is obviously working hand in glove with the government to get around that pesky Constitution) and see if your destination is approved.

      It'll start off with easy stuff. Convicted pedophile? Your destination will be declined if it's within 1000 feet of a school. Convicted drug dealer? Can't go to known drug houses. Have a record of mental health problems like alcoholism? Can't go to a liquor store or bar. Once this is normalized, they'll expand it. Do you have a record of being in close contact with political dissidents? Your destination will be declined if it would put you in contact with them. Crazy shit will happen like the return of horseback travel for people who can't get a car to start.

      Don't think it won't happen. The war will be on those who oppose the powerful rather than on the right wing exactly, although they do make a large, attractive target. If you took the organizing ability of the left and the muscle and firepower of the right and united them, that would be a pussiant force indeed to make the powerful quake in their boots. But that's crazy talk, nobody wants to be on the same side with the chuds.

          The Soviets allied with Britain for fuck's sake. When there really is a great evil to fight, do what it takes.

            You're not saying "ally with the British Empire", you're saying "ally with the NSDAP, i have a hunch they may be anti capitalist, they said they don't like bankers!" That's what you're advocating for.

        Convicted pedophile? Your destination will be declined if it’s within 1000 feet of a school. Convicted drug dealer? Can’t go to known drug houses. Have a record of mental health problems like alcoholism? Can’t go to a liquor store or bar.

        False. None of these will apply if the person in question is rich and connected. :very-intelligent:

      I think about it all the time. I have a fake name on FB and use FB only to spread glorious memes (and I do think we learn a lot from memes. Aren't revolutions started with flyers?) My main FB account was nuked by Zucc a year ago. No warning just POOF. I had reached 5000 friends who had sick meme game and with some serious knowledge, I miss them so. I could never find them all again. Anyhow-- I am on my 4th FB account. At this point it's almost a game to see what it takes to be banned entirely. It WAS nazi flags. Now not so much. If anyone ever got a hold of my social media- - anyone trying to Exhume McCarthy that is -- I'd be in the (can we say the g word here? Oh yeah it's not /r/ cth anymore lol ) I'd be in the gulag so fast. I mean we all would. At some point you just go "Oh well, the point at which I could have prevented potentially being the biggest pariah my online community has ever spawned, has long gone. Might as well carry on spreading information and knowledge, the MSM sure ain't gonna do it!"

    There's no reason why an electric vehicle would be more susceptible to a remote interlock than a combustion engine vehicle
