Here in Minnesota we have several "Speed Trap Towns" along country roads and highways with 50+ mph speed limits where suddenly the speed limit drops to 30 and there's a cop hiding behind the bush.

I've got the lazy susans! Three of them!! Ahahahaha!!!
Yes yes yes, simply read the comment you replied to and you will see that I say exactly that. Just because you can't consume ethically under capitalism, doesn't mean that you should just say "Fuck it" and do whatever.
This feels like when people are like, "Oh, vegetarian sounds good, but I could never. I simply love bacon too much" and then I inevitably say, "Okay, so why don't you try vegetarian+bacon then?"
Ethics aren't binary.
Well, then I hope your little bumper sticker prevents your swasticar from getting keyed and I'm glad you've found a way to sleep well at night.
You're keeping it to protect it from the real Nazis? Come on, dude. You have done mental summersault to avoid selling your swasticar.
It solves the "You are not a Nazi but own a Nazi car" problem. Who gives a shit who you sell it to?
No, but selling your car in about a year, after you've had time to prepare shouldn't be too big if a deal, right? It's not about boycotting, it's about having some kind of line that you draw in the sand and say "No more".
Obviously you can't do that, there no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism. Regardless, there are choices you can make. I have never will never eat a a Chick filet, for example. You have to have SOME line
I stopped giving a pass to most Tesla driver a couple of months ago when I realized they've all had plenty of time to sell their cars
He has always had some pretty shitty opinions about things and a shitty way of doing business. Tesla was basically stolen by Musk from the guys who founded it, then he tried to rewrite Tesla history and label himself as the soul founder, at which point the actual founders had to sue him to maintain their founder status, and that was all in 2009, so unless you tell me that you bought the Roadster in 2008, I have a really hard time believing you. Or you're one of those people that don't care about things until it's literally shoved in your face. But I digress. Sure you didn't know.
But what's stopping you from selling the one you have now, since you do know, now?

Kevin Sorbo played Hercules in the 90s TV series, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Kevin Sorbo is also a huge christofacist and a downright piece of shit. So he deserves to be thrown under the bus here
