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

I'm starting to get radicalized to the point where I don't believe that any problem is more important than climate change.
Personally my takeaway from radicalization has been more of that- climate change, pandemics, even the threat of nuclear war, all of these cannot be ended without the death of empire.
The empire will die, or it will kill us all.
imperialism remains the primary contradiction
deep greens stay seething, common mao w
biggest polluter on earth is US military and they're never gonna stop until you make them
Agreed, I was saying the same thing to someone else earlier.
This is correct.
Preach. You could tell me aliens are real and they're launching an invasion and I would still be more preoccupied with what the hell we're gonna do about ecosystem collapse. (not to diminish the importance of the genocide in Palestine, which when understood through a materialist analysis is just intrinsically linked to climate change anyway)
I'm going to starve to death and my whole country is going to be constantly wrecked by hurricanes for what remains of history. Hundreds of millions of climate refugees will be gunned down, gassed, and left to die of a thousand new antibacterial resistant superbugs in dozens of Gaza-scale concentration camps. A billion more will starve. A nuclear war will start when the remaining imperialist countries understand that the climate catastrophe won't just stop in the Global South.
Anyway, American automotive stock is not as high as it hypothetically could be, because BYD is producing cheap, subsidized electric cars. That's what I'm really worried about right now.
...
I don't understand how someone who is nominally literate and politically aware could write the words "more important than climate change".
I just don't.
Also if I was owned by Noah, even if it was a boring own, I would shave my beard and go live in a cave for 99 days to reflect on where I'd gone wrong in life.
Wait... wait I don't think Noah was trying to own him. I think that's a good faith question and Noah is just a complete ghoul.

that's my read on it too
Matty is the same dumbfuck who proposed one billion Americans to own China. Like that’s ever going to happen with how heavily anti-immigrant the US is
Matty best start fucking, though the task may be beyond him
Here, imagine you are 
, but lowkey like
43 years old man who never had a real job and had contributed nothing to society had a bad take on Twitter to drive engagements
Ego is more important than billions dying and irreparable ecological destruction, got it.
Fucking idiot.
funny thing is i agreed with his first reply for totally different reasons.
Matty hates electric cars because he's a fucking idiot.
I hate electric cars because even in the best case other car infrastructure is too carbon intensive and we need mass transit instead.
We are not the same.
Yep, even with a fully renewable electricity grid and 100 percent EV usage, you're still left with fucking car culture destroying society
Come on lib, maybe try rguing that manifestly they have been a capitalist distraction and delayed climate solutions/limited our imagination.
On the plus side they're heavier, shreds them tires up better (yum micro plastics).
You got a link? Can't really tell what he's trying to say here without context. Is it that the US should just give up because China is owning them so hard on electric cars? Is it that the US is economically dependent on oil and we should continue to use ICE cars regardless of if it kills everyone?
My reading was that the US has an technical advantage in ICE [doubt] so shouldn't have supported EVs which allowed China to gain ground at an early stage of the technology
Which is fucking stupid, of course
Thanks! So yeah, it's literally just "China is doing good so we must ban electric cars", death to Matty Glesias.
if you dig a little deeper it's also in large part the fact that matty hates Elon for aligning with republicans: https://cdn.xcancel.com/pic/orig/media%2FGabbWXZXkAA2Uvr.png
