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

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 [email protected]
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

"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
Ecoterrorism is a carbon offset https://offset.labr.io/offsets/
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
Ah, yes
STOP TALKING LIKE THIS REDDITORS 
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. 
true ecoterrorism has never been tried
If eco terrorism doesn't work explain Final Fantasy VII
AVALANCHE did nothing wrong
Did FFXII (12) do ecoterroism also like FFVII (7)?
No, I just typed the wrong letter lol. Fixed
Edit: although hot take, XII is a better game than VII.
Xii is definitely the most underrated FF game
Additional hot take: X & X-II are the most overrated FF games. Fuck blitzball
As a backseat player, I wanna fight you.
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.
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.
I've always been a Dragon Quest guy which makes shit posting about FF way more fun. I've literally only played FF 7, 10, and 12 lol.
Edit) and 15 but that almost feels like it doesn't count
15 is one of my favorite DMC games.

Even though i like X, its probably the only one that is overrated at all. I think most of them seem to be rated about right, except xii like i said.
I'll have to agree to disagree on blitzball though, its awesome. Definitely sucks at first until you fire most of the original team and recruit a bunch of ringers though lol

Came here to post the thing 
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
I'm talking like a lot of targeted assassinations. Make the average life expectancy of an oil exec measured in days
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.
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
Ah yes, eco terrorism has been very wide spread for centuries.
To a lib, anything beyond the current news cycle is a long history
