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

Counterpoint: Harry grows up to be a cop
In my headcanon Harry is quickly disillusioned by his time in the Wizarding government, and comes to realize the role he played in reproducing the status quo rather that fighting for a new radically equal reality. He graduates right before the global economic crisis and gets radicalized, quitting his job and living in the wilderness making Marxist pamphlets and distributing them via a flock of owls that he has cast magical protection spells on and trained not to let themselves be followed back to the hideout. Essentially the whole thing with Voldemort is like the 1905 Revolution, and then somewhere down the line Harry Potter is the Lenin of the wizarding world's equivalent to the 1917 revolution.
My headcanon is that Dobby's writing spreads like fire amongst the house elves and other oppressed magical peoples, and Harry has his throat slit while asleep with the rest of the magocracy during the opening hours of the War of Magical Liberation.
