Burning, vandalizing, and even defecating on Tesla EVs have become commonplace despite cameras that capture culprits in the act. Such brazen behaviors are endorsed and encouraged, embracing lawlessness as a moral good. Vietnam War protesters were not this extreme, and their goal was more visible and less self-destructive. Social media algorithms seem to be fueling terrible side effects.
Journalist Fareed Zakaria described the condition known as “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as “hatred of President Trump so intense that it impairs people’s judgment.” This rapidly extended to Elon Musk, and perhaps to MAGA voters and white men in general, in a growing social contagion of lawless extremism.
Coupled with the condition is a pair of illogical premises: violence seeds justice and falsehoods can be uncritically believed. Musk is called a Nazi for a hand gesture, blamed for cutting social programs for the poor and slashing taxes for billionaires, none of which is true. Tesla owners whose vehicles are destroyed can buy new ones with insurance proceeds while firebombings of dealerships anthropogenically warm the planet. Yet a majority of Tesla owners are liberals, and EVs supposedly save the planet. As the popular adage goes, “Make it make sense.”
Illegal immigrants who commit violent crimes are protected as victims. Transgender activists act out over intense personal grievances. Jews are attacked viciously. Cutting grift in government is opposed. America is declaimed as systemically racist and evil. People driving Teslas are slurred as Nazis and their cars painted with swastikas.
Social media platforms are certainly not the sole cause of this pathogenic pathology, but they prey on those already weak in character or easily manipulated. Many studies have demonstrated this harm, but free speech liberties protect Americans’ freedom to become addicted and mentally tilted by computer algorithms and falsehoods.

Now it's more like 15 seconds.
“ he Rat MSM and Soros are fueling the violence”
From what I’ve seen since I got home, Obama has emerged to begin fueling it too.
Democrat politicians are.
Yuri Bezmenov explained this technique to the American Public IN 1984. It was called Ideological Subversion.
"What it basically means is, to change the perception of reality, of every American, to such an extent that despite an abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their family, their community and their country. " -- Yuri Bezmenov
“Social media” is an oxymoron.
It is anti-social and NOT “via media” (the way of the middle).
Banned?
The real problem is anonymity.
Democrat politicians are.

Now more accurately referred to as Marxist-Democrat politicians.
Hate has to be taught. Days of Rage everyone is so angry
Is water wet? Yes.
Exactly.
"Nineteen Eighty-Four" (1984 film): the Two Minutes Hate is the daily period during which members of the Outer and Inner Party of Oceania must watch a film depicting Emmanuel Goldstein (in this case, POTUS #47 DJT), the principal enemy of the state, and his followers, the Brotherhood, and loudly voice their hatred for the enemy and then their love for Big Brother.
They think it is noble and perfectly justified. They do not think they are committing a crime. They need to be acquainted to a police baton or a .223.
