So stupid, even if you are looking at this from a climate activist standpoint it still doesn't make sense. No one's going to stop driving an SUV because their tire got slashed. They're just going to buy a new tire while the slashed one goes to a landfill.

Please come to Chattanooga and try to pull this shit. Please. I want to watch the rednecks catch you doing it.

The average New Yorker will kick their ass too. If they're lucky...

Same rednecks that over 60% of them took at least one jab to protect themselves from a virus that unless you're over 70 aren't at risk for.

Same rednecks that masked their kids dropping them off at school on the way to the gym or gun range.

Same rednecks that complained about govt overreach and to much power but there is nothing they can do.

While there are greater odds that they'll get push back from someone in TN more than say new York, but let's be honest here, they're pulling this shit because they can.

Beyond that, this is hierarchy, and the people doing this to average people are doing this at the behest of people flying around in jets.

You don't know shit about Tennessee rednecks. Everybody underestimates us but when they realize we have 100 Gigabit Fiber Optics Internet, shitloads of fresh water that Atlanta envies, cheap TVA power, and plenty of outdoor shit to do they suddenly want to move here. Right now our legislators are getting ready to add a ban on out of state travel for abortions and queer shit in schools just to add poison pills to our state to keep lefties from moving here.

If they'd deflate the tires of the private jets of all those "green" climate activists like Kerry or DeCaprio, I "might" start taking them seriously.

What is it called when a propagandist makes a claim that is literally 180* from reality because they know people are more likely to accept it?

By posting this chipit is literally instigating though, yet you claim he is trying to terminate it.

Pointing out that climate activists are targeting the wrong people IS an argument (regardless of your opinion of that argument), yet you claim that this statement has no argument in it.

Very curious.

He says, those guys are engaged in immoral action.

Then he says, too bad they're not engaged in immoral action that I'd support.

The end conclusion/complaint isn't the amorality of the action, because there's an argument for amorality pigtailed to the last thought.

Subtle, psychological mind games. Devious.

You are making a strawman argument. He did not say that.

The argument is that they are attacking the wrong people. This is clearly intended to start conversations about why they might be doing that, what the results are, why others don't call them out for this.

"Radical climate activists" are letting the air out of tires. Global warming is a hoax. Amoral action.

Then he says:

If they'd deflate the tires of the private jets of all those "green" climate activists like Kerry or DeCaprio, I "might" start taking them seriously.

Do you believe Chipit will start believing in global warming, because idiots deflate the tires of "climate activist"?

[–]Canbot 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

"Taking them seriously" does not mean "believing in global warming". You are making a huge leap in logic there.

What it means is not writing them off immediately as liars, morons, or paid agitators.

If honest and intelligent people want to make a global warming claim we should all hear them out, regardless of our own belief about it.

If violent extremists throw a tantrum there is no reason to entertain anything they say.

You seem to know quite a bit about what Chipit is thinking.

The thought terminating cliche concept may not be recognized by people who don't want to see it.

Most people don't notice propaganda that they agree with.

They should go for the biggest purchaser of oil and carbon emitter then: The U.S. Military Emits More CO2 Than Many Industrialized Nations (archive.today mirror)

Cars actually produce more CO2 with flat tyres. If these people really wanted to make a positive difference, they could make sure the car tyres are properly inflated.

I can hear all the hand rubbing of the ultra wealthy as they watch thier paid agitators promote division, animosity, conflict and violence among the lower classes. Just another background story to reinforce thier narrative that individual choices of the poor are the cause of climate change despite the absurdity of that proposition. And yet another distraction that divides and allows conquering.

Driving on a flat quickly ruins your tires. These criminals are destroying property with premeditated intent, costing people several hundreds of dollars, by this simple action. Tires on SUV can be extra expensive, easily costing a couple of thousand dollars for all 4.

If your tires aren't apparently ruined, then you'll have to worry if it was damaged and will fail on the interstate killing you and your family one day, thanks to these insane criminals.

This is no different than people throwing nails in the road and saying, "but I didn't pop the tires, I wasn't even there."
