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

What would you suggest an individual interested in preventing fascism should do in the western world?
It isn't the end all be all of antifascism, but joining an organization is a great start!
ideally an anti-fascist organization!
Yes I'm sorry I should have specified.

There's nothing an individual can do that doesn't stray into adventurism, but pretending like voting for Democrats is gonna do anything and spending any amount of organizational energy on that empty well is counter productive.
Volunteering at a local soup kitchen does infinitely more for socialism and countering fascism than voting for Dems.
Same thing individuals have done every other time this has happened; get several million of your best friends and start killing fascists. Idk what's so hard about this. what to do is easy and obvious. How to do it? That's tricky. But what to do is well established and indisputable.

Spend 1% of the time and energy you use screaming at people to vote for Joe to join and help an organization doing actual on the ground work, organizing protests, educating people, striking or helping those who are by joining them on the picket lines. Showing up to counter fascists when they march in the streets. Spending 1% of the time you currently do screaming vote blue on those things instead would be 100 times more impactful than what you are currently doing.
