Oh no the right wing HOG owners are shooting their bikes with machine guns again...this country is making me so TIRED.(They mad about electric bikes existing, that there is a DEI page on the Harley website and moving some of their factories to Thailand)I mean the last one is a little annoying but did you need to shoot the bike?

@lampsofgold To be fair some of them are mad about that too. Though I think all kinds of bike people are mad about that.

@futurebird I’m sure, I just think it’s ironic that a lot of them don’t care about that nearly as much as they do about the superficial crap, the same as the bud light stuff, how could you get mad about something that’s already so cynical and hollow (not that Dylan is cynical, but bud light sure is)

I really thought they got over these "smash my own property" protests? I don't know why I thought that.

@futurebird I'm pretty OK with idiots destroying their loud obnoxious bikes over imagined grievances.

@futurebird I have to assume the person expects to collect more revenue from rage clicks than they lost in the residual value of the motorcycle. But maybe the cynical "it's all about money/attention" theory is wrong and the person is just an idiot. But these days it feels like it's usually greed.

@dave_andersen I think it's about the image. The guy is so tough with his landscaping business or whatever he does to buy so many expensive guns and bikes. The peak of masculinity. Wow.

@scott I guess, in a way, it's a fair trade. But... oh yeah they don't like that electric stuff. Too quiet.

@futurebird Can't fix stupid. Good for motorcycle business, I guess, as they'll have to buy new bikes somewhere/

@futurebird@sauropods.win Kinda can't think of a better example of the fact that money is unequally distributed in this country than the fact that the people upset that a company did something they perceive as pro-BIPOC/LGBTQ/whatever can afford to destroy their own shit in response.Like I hate Apple, you don't see me out here destroying my computer though.

@futurebirdYeah, my take as well.It's about image, virtue signalling, and costly tributes and sacrifices to gain in-group approval.Bonkers AF, but follows a clannish logic.@dave_andersen

@futurebird That's hilarious to me. 🤣A reasonably intelligent person would sell the bike. These man babies are staggeringly stupid. I mean, WOW. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@futurebird Yeah, totally not weird to destroy a perfectly good bike you’ve loved for years because electric bikes exist and the HD has a DEI page. Not weird at all. 🙄

@futurebird These people need to be paying much higher taxes if they can afford to do things like this.

@futurebird I feel like this question might be like asking if you've heard of this obscure website called Google, but: Did you see the Hbomberguy video about this phenomenon from a handful of years ago? One point he made was that in addition to their outrage being free advertising, since most of these folks aren't principled enough to permanently deprive themselves, if they really do destroy their stuff, they're likely to buy a replacement once the rage fades.

@daisy Only wealthy people on the right like that. Regular folks can comprehend that it's not so great, though they can't articulate why and end up just being vaguely racist rather than realizing we should collaborate with international workers to lock the bosses out of everything. Regular people, do, make, invent, and discover everything.

@futurebird are these knobs going to switch to mopeds without mufflers to continue being obnoxious assholes on the streets in the summer?
