    It’s not because we value the wrong thing. It’s because of basic laws that protect us all.

    How could they be reclaimed? They are owned by somebody who legally owns them. Unless the owner is found guilty of something that entitles the government to take possession then there’s no legal way to do that.

    If someone is going to reclaim it illegally they’re also not going to use that money to help people. You don’t get many Robin Hoods so the criminals that do it are most likely to keep the proceeds for themselves.

      Keep in mind this article is about Teslas in Germany, where expropriation is legal if a judge deems it to be for the greater good. But that’s only really possible in theory and thus far doesn’t happen in practice

      The fuck? It’s illegal to burn these cars too, smart person.

      Taken from other comment debunking you people:

      You can steal the vehicle too. You can discuss and support policies that take the assets of the ruling class by force.

      Sad this needs to be spelled out for you people, but I don’t expect more at this point.
