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
“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.
Eliminate the four olds (old ideas, old culture, old customs, and old habits)
I’ll start by telling my kids we can’t do Christmas anymore lol
There are many aspects of Christmas which should be eliminated, both the veneration of an infant fated to die as the ultimate scapegoat vessel of sin and the rampant consumerism.
Having a festival near the winter solstice centered on feasting and family is not necessarily problematic though.
Yeah, that’s more or less what we’ve been doing. To be clear, when I say “culturally Christian,” I’m not saying that I just believe in god without going to church or that I continue Christian traditions and beliefs uncritically. It just feels correct to acknowledge that’s the context I was raised in. Even the most militant atheists raised in deeply Christian areas have a Christian context. The act of negation and all that.
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.
nah they just fund ecoterrorism to ensure zero emissions will never happen
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
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.
That’s my kind of slippery slope
Sure, but that takes a lot more resources we don’t yet have built up. Sabotage, however, results in damage that is potentially more lasting and can be achieved by isolated individuals and groups, like what has been happening in Atlanta as police crackdowms on the Stop Cop City protests have intensified.
Gotta remember we already tried propaganda of the deed. It had some practical problems.

Yes, absolutely.
If eco terrorism doesn’t work explain Final Fantasy VII
Came here to post the thing
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
President Xi’s in FF?
I want a mod that replaces Vaan with Xi now
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.
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
Oh yeah, I like X as a whole but it’s definitely the most overrated.
But “blitzball isn’t fun until you break it” doesn’t really seem like a ringing endorsement of the mini game lol
that’s a good point. I think I’ve actually been able to enjoy without completely breaking it, but i sure as hell had to break it to enjoy it the first time
The Rogue Tomato was the best boss in the entire series.
9 is the best. No I haven’t played any of them.
WOW. What a dumb and reactionary opinion. Please don’t look at my comment history and see what I said immediately before this.
ok I won’t
Thx
12 has Balthier so it’s the best FF game. No contest
He is the leading man
That is a pretty hot take. I agree that VII is pretty overrated though, but I wouldn’t say XII is the best.
I’m one of those freaks that thinks X is the best.
Carbon tax
Good thing multinational companies are famously bad at dodging taxes.
ACritical support to Unabomber against anyone who believes in carbon offsetsWasn’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
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
Yeah he had the one meme line that goes so hard and then the rest is shit. Sorta like an even shittier version of Dorner, kernel of a decent idea that through memes whitewashes their actual politics and actions. At least Dorner arguably got something out of killing people who were not cops.
Remember that people really do get their politics online, and passively through memes, so shitpost responsibly.
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
Ah yes, eco terrorism has been very wide spread for centuries.
To a lib, anything beyond the current news cycle is a long history
Children of Kali
Please
ah, yes, I remember this user, one of the most prolific anticommunists on lemmy.ml before the R*ddit influx
