  • I agree with you that its an issue, but surely you see that its a part of human nature to experience some kind of validation when a person / group learns a lesson they could have not learned the hard way by listening or reasoning. The whole leopards eating face thing.

    I dont think its a beautiful part of human psychology but I think its hard to overcome especially when emotions are already high.

    I personally find it sad, but I believe just like in 2016 there’s a bunch of aggressive social media manipulation going on and I see it as people being scammed into believing something in contradiction to their own self interest… And much like an elderly person scammed into handing over money I find it really sad.
















  • I disagree about the feasibility, if people wanted to sell their car, they could do it and deal with the discomfort. There’s plenty of cheap vehicles out there.

    People dont care enough about it to deal with the discomfort. I would say that there is presumably a threshold of bad shit muskrat could do, beyond which most people would be so disgusted that they would sell their vehicle for a loss and spend that on a “lesser” vehicle.

    Even if its a gas powered used minivan or it means a car note for another 6 years, they’ll find a way if they care enough.

    I think its not that it isn’t feasible, it’s that they are not past the threshold where they dont want to be seen giving money to an awful persons business. Theyre still at the point where driving an EV because they just paid to have a charger installed is more important to them.

    And that is fine, it makes sense. But I do not see it as a forced hand like youre describing and I personally dont think its a good enough excuse.
