I’m kind of pointing out the hypocrisy in that if you’re not buying a Tesla because of Elon, then I’d hope you’re also boycotting all Israeli products, because you know, a little thing called a genocide is happening. If not, then I find it weird and I’m calling it out.
It might not be hypocritical. People do not have the mental capacity to follow and react to every crisis everywhere with the same level of engagement. They typically react more to the topics which they can closely relate to because they are part of their daily lives.
People in the US drive cars. And they follow the US politics. So it is in my opinion only natural that their reaction to issues concerning cars and the US politics would be more on their radar when it comes to coming up with public and loud reactions.
Does that mean that they do not care about e.g. the war in Gaza? Absolutely not. If asked, they will probably give a very critical opinion about it. But they are not out protesting for it to stop every week because it does not concern them directly. It is not hypocrisy, in my opinion, it is just natural selection of what is more and what is less important in a daily life of an individual.
