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

No because there is no left. There is very little for fash to react to that is tangible, they only have punching down against marginalized identities. In reality, it's just fascistic liberals and liberal fascists lost in a milieu of false consciousness about why they're getting paid worse and everything is more expensive and it must be the fault of [broad brush identity]. Both of these factions already have power. They're cops, lawyers, judges, politicians, business owners, military contractor workers, etc.
These will be the interesting times people talk about. Awareness of actual material decay is ascendant. There will be more and more opportunities for us to grow the left. At the same time, those groups in power will like nothing more than a left scapegoat.
I recommend that everyone join an org and begin learning organizing skills and opsec.
