I hope everyone starts associating communism with environmentalism. You can't dirty the first by using the second, it's literally a life and death issue, all you can do is making both more appealing

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

Capitalism is the system that determines an oil company's worth by counting every drop of oil still in the ground as being sold and burned some day. There is literally no way to save ourselves if that system follows its course. It must be abolished at any cost.
The Carbon Liberation Front must be opposed until it is completely destroyed and incapable of liberating more carbon from the earth.
You're just using the fact that it's necessary for survival to push communism!
push communism!
Musk is correct.
COMMUNISM = ELECTRIFICATION + SOVIET POWER

Shouldn't be in the dunk tank, he's doing the propaganda for us with this
I love the transformation from playing to the libs (buy my futuristic electric cars and save the planet) to playing to the chuds (climate change doesn’t real)
Masterful gambit!
Honesty he's the one person too incompetent to cash in on the "former leftist" grift
'watermelon' used to be a slang term used to describe 'greens' that were really 'red' inside
I remember this when I first started learning about politics, it was actually kinda dope lol. Actually made me wanna learn more about communism instead of being a spooky word
I am green and red on the outside, what do I call myself? A strawberry? A partially ripe tomato?
A mango? They often kinda cover the spectrum from red to green.
red-green on the outside, but completely yellow on the inside sounds kinda socdem-y
Perfect, I love mango, and they have a thick skin that can make your mouth itchy if you eat it which I relate to
A superball

It's true, all of it
Why are white South Africans so whiney when they have total economic control over the country they reside in? They insist that they’re being oppressed so hard I’m starting to think that they were disappointed when their fears of a post-apartheid mayo genocide didn’t come true.
Because white fascists really do think they’re benevolent saviors and get angry when no one sees them that way.
The British and the Boers didn't shoot every single one of each other to death. If they had just white on white violenced themselves to a mutual destruction a lot of angst could have been spared.
..and? Like you wouldn't be able to stop climate change without it lmao
¿Por qué no los dos?
Guilty as charged
Wait, if he thinks climate change is bullshit why'd he buy an EV company and a try to go to Mars?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
She just like me fr fr
Am I suppose to know who that woman is?
don't think so

Has anyone done a decent comparison between USA and USSR during height of Cold War for carbon footprint per capita? Would be interesting to see what the differences were. That said might still be flawed, since USSR had to behave in certain ways as a response to USA capitalism, so hard to say if it would reflect communism carbon footprint not distorted by strong external pressure.
The comparison of China to the US per capita emissions is a pretty clear example too.
Forgot to add, this comparison is even more skewed in chinas favor as a lot of that emitting is on behalf of industries supplying American/western product needs, so a sort of outsourced carbon footprint in a way.
#1 again 
Yeah I buy that—they have, or at least had, an immense about of population as rural peasants. Also their individual modes of co sumptuous are way less than an avg American. I think this comparison works fine, but the US/USSR one would be enjoyable because they were both so neck and neck and directly competing. China is too, but it’s more of an underdog coming for the aging alpha’s neck kinda deal, whereas USA and USSR have this 40-50 year race. Anyhow, I think it would mostly be safe to assume that generally carbon footprint would be lower under communism. After all, they didn’t have 50+ brands of sugar cereal staring them down when they went to the market.
it doesnt matter the ussr fell in the 90s thats more than 35 years ago climate science wasnt as robust or wide spread as today also carbon footprint can be heavily mitigated with just nuclear for example france i love the ussr but surely we have more modern examples in china and france ?
Who's the girl? fairly certain it's not the spice girl from the original.
Ya, I thought it would have been Greta T, but it's not her either. Not sure who she is.

So...is Musk a secret commie with his electric battery yadda yadda? He does get a lot of government funding...
I'm guessing he's going all in with climate denial, despite using that rationale to sell electric cars.
