    “It’s not just about what happened to me. It’s about everyone in this country. If you disagree, don’t retaliate. Don’t be violent. Don’t try to hurt your neighbor. We’re all human,”

    I mean, if you believe that, my guy, you shouldn’t have bought the nazi truck. You also definitely should not have gotten a fucking gold one. You also ABSOLUTELY shouldn’t have driven it around in MASSACHUSETTS. I flip these fucks off when I see them here. I don’t agree with physically threatening them, but c’est la vie I guess.

      I just love that someone is complaining about people being rude to him in a state with such rude, aggressive drivers that the term ‘Masshole’ was invented to describe them.

      Be careful out there, flipping off other drivers is considered “road rage” in some places and can get you ticketed.

      Plus, a thumbs down with a look of disgust is funnier!

        Bro, as a Massachusettsan born and raised if you dare touch my primary form of expression ya gonna get a hot cuppa dunkins in the face. That’d be like banning wicked sick donuts in a rotary.

        Only if you do it outside the vehicle. This actually came up years ago when I took a motorcycle course. Since you’re always outside the vehicle I guess you can’t flick people off.

        This feels like such a thin reason to get a ticket if you ask me. A rude gesture is just a rude gesture. But… be careful out there! I feel safe enough to flip them off, but I encourage safer forms of heckling them, like pointing and laughing.

      Yeah, massholes aren’t nice to anyone unless they need it. You want someone to be kind to you in Boston? Get irresponsibly drunk and start crying on the bathroom floor otherwise they’re gonna tell you to shut the fuck up, fuck right on off, and get the fuck over it because they assume you can handle hearing it and may need to.

          It’s overexaggeration for comedic effect. But also yeah my main bostonian is from a biker family, she’s terrible and fun.

    GOLD Cybertruck…

    “Look at me! Pay attention to me!”

    “…oh no, not like that.”

    It sounds like we all agree. Despite all the rightful cybertruck hate and despite the garish gold color, this driver was not even particularly persecuted. He was just living the life of a normal Bostonian (which always includes other drivers cursing at you, cause that’s what we do here).

    So… This is actually just a non-story. The headline could have been “Ridiculous gold cybertruck exists in Massachusetts, driver treated normally”

    Or perhaps,

    “Driver of ridiculous gold cyber truck somehow still isn’t getting enough attention!”

    “I wish to buy something that tells everyone that I’m richer and better than them.”

    Later…

    “Waaaah! Everyone’s being mean to me because I’m telling everyone I’m richer and better than them!”

    He thinks his family isn’t safe in it… Yet he continues to drive it

    You drive a rolling swastika and BLARING sign of historical wealth inequality that you’ve literally wrapped in gold - you deserve so much more fucking hate culminating in a brief rest of your heavy head that wears the crown on the guillotine. Tone deaf, fucking ghoul.

    He’s a doctor what kind of doctor lacks the foresight to buy a Cybertruck.

    Hard to find any sympathy for the guy. A cybertruck costs almost 3 times the amount of comparable electric trucks.

    You pay that much extra because you want the hate.

    the Syrian immigrant

    Weird that he’s driving around a swasticar from a company run by a guy that would probably like to deport him…

      Even if it is 10 degrees, I’ll roll down the window and make a jackoff gesture. Fucking clowns. I have appointments near a Boeing office, you’ll be shocked to know that more than a few Boeing employees drive Wankpanzers. Boeing planes are built to the same standards lately so it tracks.

    Man, if only we were hip to what an asshole musk was a month ago. His fans could have known that buying a cybertruck was going to get negative attention. But I guess there were no signs to warn us. And really, who drives cybertrucks more than single moms living paycheck to paycheck, day laborers, and other marginalized folks? We should just assume that anyone in a gold cyber truck had zero idea what they were doing, had no intention of being an edgy dbag, and only uses it to deliver fresh produce to the local food banks.

    That’s weird. I’m never threatened and harassed when driving my nazi Sturm panzer. I don’t see why the ugly American equivalent would enrage people. Maybe just because it’s really ugly. I could understand that.
