Speaking of spite as progressive pseudo-piety:

“We are so mentally unstable, and so nakedly vindictive, that if you even own a car of which we suddenly disapprove, we will violate your property and make you feel unsafe.”

Odd message to send, really.

For people who imagine themselves the good guys in their own mental drama.

Lifted from the comments, which you’re reading, of course.

Consider this an open thread.

Update, via the comments:

Rafi adds,

When you’re scratching swastikas on a Jewish guy’s car you’re probably not the good guy you think you are.

Yet apparently it needs saying.

And setting aside for a moment the weird random malice, there’s the more mundane oversight. A Tesla has eight external cameras which record any untoward activity while alerting the owner. The odds of being identified, in high definition, and consequently prosecuted, are fairly high. Yet the people doing the keying and daubing tell us, loudly and quite often, that they’re the smart ones. Our moral and intellectual betters.

It’s not just the conceit that vandalising some random person’s car is a thing one should do as a good person, as an act of righteousness. Bewildering as that is. It’s the idea of doing that to a make of car that’s famed for its ability to record anything that approaches. Which suggests a level of emotional dysregulation, of total impulse control failure, that’s quite hard to relate to.

Via Aitch, another one. With man-bun bonus.

More deep thinkers of a progressive persuasion.

I fear we’ll be at this at all day.

Oh wait.

We may have a winner:

As so often, one feels obliged to say, “You know this isn’t how well-adjusted adults generally behave, right?”
