If Elon does end up being forced to step down from Tesla, remember this:

1. They didn't ask him to step down after telling advertisers to go fuck themselves if they didn't want their products next to Twitter Nazis.

2. They didn't ask him to step down after doing a Nazi salute on live national TV.

3. They didn't ask him to step down after he put Nazi youth in charge of cutting veterans benefits, social security, Medicare, Medicaid, or USaid.

They could have.

But no. They're doing this because the stock prices are spiralling. And the only reason that's happening is because of the Tesla protests.

Keep going. Become ungovernable. It's working.

@Lana i will always wonder whether it's more because of the protests or because of the outright vandalism and arson

Historically, it takes 11% of the population to commit to repeated nonviolent protest in order to enact change.

However, if the insurrection turns violent, it only takes about 3% of the population.

Conclusion: Violence is 3x as effective as nonviolence.

Does that mean the nonviolent protests are ineffective? No. It does mean that when those protests include property damage like vandalism and arson, they're FAR MORE LIKELY to succeed.

@Lana @matildalove currently reading this from turkish republic gives weird vibes
