Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.

Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

But putting a cone on its hood should be a crime.

What a wild take. "Ah yes, we should be protecting capital at all costs."

A traffic cone is not damaging the property, or hurting anyone. It just damages their bottom line a little bit.

It's not even like the car is personal property, someone's only mode of transportation. And if it were, it wouldn't matter, because a human can just remove a cone.

I find it hilarious and unhinged that people will genuinely suggest that something as minor as placing a traffic cone on the hood of a robotaxi should be criminalized.
