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

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"

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

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.

no more half measures walter

true ecoterrorism has never been tried

[–] Galli@hexbear.net 31 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 years ago (2 children)

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 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 years ago (2 children)

That's my kind of slippery slope

If eco terrorism doesn't work explain Final Fantasy VII

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

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

AVALANCHE did nothing wrong

[–] citrussy_capybara@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Did FFXII (12) do ecoterroism also like FFVII (7)?

[–] dannoffs@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

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 2 years ago (3 children)

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 2 years ago (1 children)

As a backseat player, I wanna fight you.

[–] dannoffs@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (5 children)

You're fortunate I don't care that much about the franchise as a whole, especially not enough to argue past the Sepiroth fanart getting exhausting in its quantity in my Livejournal days.

12 has Balthier so it's the best FF game. No contest

Carbon tax

Good thing multinational companies are famously bad at dodging taxes.

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

[–] boiledfrog@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

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