"I have lots of progressive ideas in my head, I'm actually immune to propaganda despite my actual behavior that is entirely consistent with capitalist ideology"

AOC buying a Tesla isn't "weird" or "anti-socialist", rationally navigating marketplaces to find loopholes is within the ideological framework of being a technocratic PMC under neoliberalism. The entire idea of 'tax rebates for electric vehicles' is probably one of Biden's main accomplishments lol

I mean, I wouldn't buy a Tesla, but doesn't this fall under "no ethical consumption under capitalism"? I'm not personally entirely thrilled by that phrase, but I've heard it a lot.

It’s also applicable to EVs, just not the overhyped, overpriced self crashing Elon Musk car
