Unless the plan is to try and outbreed conservatives, leftists will need a different strategy to avoid being outnumbered.
Parenting is very resource intensive, both in time and material resources, and is thus an inefficient means of transmitting ideologies. You could likely use that time and resources for education and outreach, influencing a much wider audience.
We lost something as a species.
That "something" is social interaction.
I much preferred Family Video over Blockbuster.
"I am the walrus"
Trying to reason with irrational actors is an exercise in futility.
There must be a way to disable the vehicle's remote connectivity. Probably not as simple as opening a fuse though.
panicking and thinking up every possible bad thing that could happen and treating it as real
OCD in a nutshell
Finally, Teslas are luxury vehicles.
Having sat my ass in a few, they most definitely are not luxury vehicles. Maybe the S or X (I haven't been in one so cannot assess), but not the others.
To be clear, I do not own one nor have I ever owned one.
Also, most authoritarian governments still have elections.
Yup. Russia had elections during its last cycle. The outcome may or may not have been pre-determined.
Birthstrike - stop reproducing until the bullshit stops. They constantly whine and cry about falling birth rates because it is their Achilles' heel.
Unlike a labor strike, we can keep this up for as long as we need to. Indeed, it is actually beneficial in the short term which makes it an easy "sell" to people in economically precarious situations. It also provides some level of mitigation to your own personal situation if conditions further deteriorate.
In contrast to street protests, it avoids conflict and keeps people away from danger. It doesn't require missing work, risking injury, or facing detainment.
The downside is that it is a very slow sort of strike that won't become apparent for several months. It's more of a long term strategy and won't provide any immediate relief.
Cynicism about the airline industry aside, I'd like to see how much CO2 this could prevent. Probably simple to calculate if you know how much jet fuel costs and how much CO2 it produces.
No strategy is perfect, but even places like Russia and China have floundered in bringing up fertility rates.
The irony is that the historically effective way to manage below-replacement rates is via immigration. But that's sort of the crux of the post.
