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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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

Topical "debate" show, produced by fake lefty Jeremy Vine ("oh look at me on me bike!"), keeps repeating with these "scRAp cLiMatE TarGeTs" subjects. This is media manipulation. (hexbear.net)

And why is every Jeremy on Telly a complete c*nt? So far mentioned:

"electric cars tyres pollute far more than petrol cars as whole" (WTAF?)
"we only make 0.9% of all carbon pollution" (who do we out source to, dumbass?)
"we havent the space for wind turbines and solar panels dont work" (come and lick my terminals you conflatious idiot! Never mind the fact we could sell the electric on every house, if we had enough solar, to France and Germany)
"wE caNT sToRe EleCTriC" (I mean holy crap, batteries, gravity, heat storage in sand, its not that these dont exist - they push for perfection before they even consider adoption and physics will never allow perfection - lets just get the f*ck on with fixing this problem)

To be fair, that is the whole point of the show, it has to manufacture consent somehow. It’s what he is paid for (whether he knows it not) and he has his tv time to do it.

What would be the point of the show if he didn’t use it to push capital’s shitty addenda’s into the minds of the viewer? Why else would they be paying him. It sure isn’t entertainment or to inform.

Absolutely. The Daily Mail owns 20% of ITN, who are the parent company of Vine's show. Who has a stake in the Mail? The petrochemical and oil industry.
