Electric motors work by inducing a magnetic field with coils of wire, so I’m sure a strong enough EMP would disrupt it temporarily, but I don’t know if it would meaningfully damage anything after the EMP ceased.

Disclaimer - not an electromagnetic scientist wizard

My understanding is that EMPs are more of a concern for the tiny electronics on computers versus relatively large motors or batteries. So, an electric vehicle is still at risk, but I don’t think it’d be any more at risk than any ICE car that’s all computerized anyways.

More seriously, the article says nothing of actual efficacy. I don’t think most people are particularly receptive to having their mind changed through direct rhetoric on the internet, it absolutely happens but it’s not nearly as concerning as other polarizing social media behaviors.

It makes me optimistic - he’s fucking with the money. Change can happen real goddamn quick when someone starts fucking with the money.

To add, a lot of sites that “Fade into obscurity” still have active communities, they’re just not mainstream anymore.

It’s almost always “their colonizers” taking advantage of it lmao they get paid a pittance for the privilege.
