And almost as ugly as a Tesla Cybertruck! Great job, kia.
I own a BYD, and a huge part of that was to not be buying anything that would give a nazi cunt a single cent
Ah yes the CCP is well-known for their stance on freedom and equality...
Australian Tesla's are made in China.
Even better
Ah yes, everyone is the same and affects the entire world in exactly the same way. Nothing makes a difference, so why bother /s
I mean I wasn't the one virtue signaling about China so...
I mean, he actually bought a car based on his values, you’re just bothering him about it on the internet. Who’s virtue signaling?
...what do you think "virtue signaling" means?
And the point is their values are flawed. That's fine, nobody's perfect. Just trying to prevent others from making the same mistake.
It means yammering about your virtues without doing anything substantive. If you’re just critiquing him for having virtues and having reasons for doing what he does that’s pretty weak shit.
I'm not critiquing them for "having values", I'm critiquing them for not understanding basic geopolitical facts.
Oh ok, please name the non-problematic car brand he should have chosen, oh saint of virtue
That depends on what your values are but if they're "not owned by nazis", you're gonna have to purchase from outside the CCP.
You think I bought a car to support the Chinese government?
That's a long bow to draw there, champ
No I don't think that. And it's not what I said. I think you bought a car to avoid supporting Elon Musk (at least that's what you said) but you ended up supporting worse institutions instead.
Unfortunately, depending on where you live, you might be forced into subsidizing or giving him grants.
Every day I'm grateful to live in a civilised country, rather than 'Murica
