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

Absolutely, the way forward won’t be like a “step up” or “step down” it’ll be better in some ways but I think possible “worse” in others depending on your perspective.
What I mean is I imagine there are some small luxuries we will necessarily need to give up. Like getting strawberries year round bc we stop imperializing nations and forcing them to grow them year round for us. And myriad other little thing that will be good for the planet and the exploited but maybe an inconvenience for us in the imperial core.
We probably won’t be traveling for leisure as much, reducing travel planes etc, at least until we get shit under control
But in return we get control of our lives, actual democracy and health care and shit so fuck it. Plus the ppl mostly inconvenienced by this are a drop in the bucket compared to the rest so... who cares what they think lol
As someone who tries to live with minimal consumption and kinda judges people who don't, I down with this. However I also worry that people just seem to really want their shit, too, so we have to work around that.
