it did bring energy and purpose to the left last time around. there was an unreported clash between the fash and antifa in my city where a force 1/5 the size of the fash (maybe 1/10) managed to corral and ultimately route the fash with nothing but shields while occupying the police in a wild goose chase. that kind of thing just doesn't happen any more. rallies with thousands of people in all black and prepared to throw down were routine until Biden took office. part of it was a successful discreditation of the leaders of those rallies by more liberal factions, but the air seriously got sucked out of the room. so I don't really care about the libs ability to organize -- we kind of went on ice and we're only just starting to thaw because of Palestine.

the next round of clashes will be much more severe and we will absolutely need to iterate and improve on the tactics we learned last time. my dearest hope is that we can build a real org this time to preserve the momentum.

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
