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

I mean, he's right. We just let them do it. If he'd like us to take matters into our own hands I'm sure we can oblige.

[–] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He's also right that

“While renewable energy is essential to help the world achieve net zero, it is not sufficient"

Unfortunately, his preferred option of carbon capture and sequestration is about as realistic at this point as waiting for angels to descend from heaven and transmute all the carbon dioxide in our atmosphere into diamonds. It is a science fiction technology that is not even close to ready for mass deployment, and may not even be physically possible at the scale we'd need. A combination of aggressive transition away from fossil fuels and aggressive degrowth and restrictive supply-side policies that forcibly shut down the fossil fuel industry is literally the only option at this point. Nothing else is going to get the job done in time.

No time like the present to address that oversight! gui-better

The earth is not dying, it is being killed, and those who are killing it have names and addresses

[–] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

And the fact that they do still have names and addresses is absolutely our fault. We have allowed them to not just get away with killing the planet, but to profit from it at a scale never before seen in human history.

A la guillotine, o gue, la meilleure solution!

Y'all ever read that book 'Ministry for the Future' where a guerilla group breaks into various oil CEOs homes and kills them in their beds?

Good book.

Comments like these should be printed out and stapled to their foreheads just before we toss them into the nazi disposal pit.

[–] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Well, the chances of him misspeaking and telling the journalists that it is his fault were always pretty slim.

[–] SnowySkyes@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

I hope these motherfuckers get strung up by their intestines and have a very slow, very painful death.

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

Urge to fedpost rising rapidly, I hope this "person" is drowned in crude

Here's a canonical link to the article, rather than a tracker-laden AMP link:
