Liberal ideology is when you love losing and hate to accomplish things. The more you lose, the more liberal you are. Sorry sweaty, I don't make the rules biden-troll

"the problems are bad,, but their causes? their causes are very good"

This is excellent, I've been ranting for years about what I've been calling latent Protestantism, the tendency among Amerikkkan atheists and nonchristian spiritual types to replicate the mores and belief structures of Christianity.

I’ve been calling myself culturally Christian for this reason. I’ve done a lot of work to root out the toxicity of my upbringing but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t fundamentally of that culture.

Love this one. This was what got me out of the Reddit "leftist" phase and got me to consider more serious leftist discussion and thought

No, because those actually did something and reduced carbon output, unlike carbon offsets which are just financial scams.

[-] unwedretake@hexbear.net 36 points 11 months ago

Indeed, but it is fun to imagine a world where oil and gas companies fund ecoterrorists to reach their net zero emission goals.

EKO is the next generation in radical enterprise efficiency. Our industry-disrupting sustainability processes are the result of decades of iterative design and study. We guarantee that a 3 month consultation will result in a minimum 80% reduction in operating costs.

Ah, yes

STOP TALKING LIKE THIS REDDITORS stop-posting-amogus

They wanted to do a sarcasm but then just forgot to

It's that instant and immediate a default delivery method, with a coating of smug smarminess. smuglord

[-] Owl@hexbear.net 34 points 11 months ago

true ecoterrorism has never been tried

[-] Galli@hexbear.net 31 points 11 months ago

It is true that targeted assassinations wouldn't work though. Every ghoul can be easily replaced with minimal disruption to the system.

Eco terrorism like blowing up pipelines may yet work

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 32 points 11 months ago

I'm talking like a lot of targeted assassinations. Make the average life expectancy of an oil exec measured in days

[-] Galli@hexbear.net 36 points 11 months ago

The point at which it's enough assassinations to work is the point that it stops being targeted assassinations and just starts being a revolution.

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 20 points 11 months ago

That's my kind of slippery slope

If eco terrorism doesn't work explain Final Fantasy VII

Came here to post the thing an-tifa avalanche anti-shinra-action

[-] citrussy_capybara@hexbear.net 15 points 11 months ago

Did FFXII (12) do ecoterroism also like FFVII (7)?
ecoterrorisman-tifafinal-fantasy-ix-xi

[-] dannoffs 16 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

No, I just typed the wrong letter lol. Fixed

Edit: although hot take, XII is a better game than VII.

[-] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago

Xii is definitely the most underrated FF game

Additional hot take: X & X-II are the most overrated FF games. Fuck blitzball

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 5 points 11 months ago

As a backseat player, I wanna fight you.

[-] dannoffs 5 points 11 months ago

As a proud beta male, normally I would run from a fight but I think I can take anyone who would be upset about me shit talking FFX.

Carbon tax

Good thing multinational companies are famously bad at dodging taxes.

[-] andresil@lemm.ee 25 points 11 months ago

Wasn't the Unabomber more of a neo-Luddite? So just didn't like technology because of it's effect on society? I defo support infrastructure-targeting eco-"""terrorism""" in his style though

[-] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 32 points 11 months ago

the unabomber was the world's most interesting idiot.

I never readed his manifesto, but I think he has also a ambientalist view

Read it and you'll have much more critical support lol. He was explicitly anti-leftist. Disappointing

That explain why you say uncritical support lol. Dude was right about the industrial revolution, but otherwise a giant piece of shit

Dropping people is satisfying in a way piecemeal change never could be. All I ever need

[-] boiledfrog@hexbear.net 13 points 11 months ago

Ah yes, eco terrorism has been very wide spread for centuries.

To a lib, anything beyond the current news cycle is a long history

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
