    Did you buy a Tesla? No? Congrats, you are part of the illegal boycott now. President said so.

      I didn’t buy a Tesla, no. Yet it is not illegal for me because he’s not my president and he has no legal power over me, even if I’m also indirectly affected by his policies. American defaultism is pretty cringe, imho.

      Did you buy one? Because if so you unironically contributed to the mess which allowed the richest man to buy his way into presidency.

      See? I can also reply nonsense and immature “gotcha” stuff that has nothing to do with what I originally said as well. 🥸

        You’re in a thread about America and Americans are at least the plurality here on Lemmy, if not the majority. Of course in this situation, when you make a statement about the US, people assume you’re from the US. What do you expect? It’s pretty cringe for people to make a big deal out of well founded assumptions being incorrect.

        I am agreeing with you here, for fuck’s sake.

        This administration likes to call all things it does not like illegal. Like not buying a Tesla.

        I agree i could have worded more clearly. But chill out, man.

          Apologies, and thank you for the clarity. I certainly can’t criticize anyone for verbal subtlety being misinterpreted, that’s for sure. Cheers.
