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

  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.
  
  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.
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.

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.
Carbon tax

Good thing multinational companies are famously bad at dodging taxes.
ACritical support to Unabomber against anyone who believes in carbon offsets

- 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
  
  the unabomber was the world's most interesting idiot.
  
  I never readed his manifesto, but I think he has also a ambientalist view

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
