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

even if Just Stop Oil isn't a "psy op" loaded to the gills with agents provocateurs taking money from an oil heiress and is completely sincere activism, it's fundamentally a reformist organization engaged in theatrics. You aren't going to mitigate the damage of climate change, let alone end it, within the confines of ongoing capitalism.

My question is why wouldn't you vandalize or destroy something related to climate change instead choosing one of the few standing structures disconnected to it?

tbh if you tried to destroy a pipeline the government would probably kill you

I get that, but I just mean why wouldn't you pick a symbol of modern society rather than an archeological site? Like I get Stonehenge will get attention, but so will a lot of other places
