I have a full budget heap. I love it! I recently got decent at doing skids. The rear gear didn’t like that and decided to chew the threads on my hub. What are some solutions to this?
I can’t pedal the bike without the gear spinning around the hub like a busted cassette.

Bad news chief, you’ve stripped your hub threads.
If the other side is also fixed threaded then you can use that side. If not it’s new hub / wheel time.
Option 1 = new wheel. Buy a chain whip and lock ring tool as well, watch some YouTube videos and install it yourself. I’d suggest getting a new cog and lock ring to boot rather than using the current. Just my option there tho.
Option 2 = new hub and replace it to the wheel. Take it to a bike shop as (no disrespect intended) it sounds like you’re probably not yet at wheel building levels of wrenching. They could also install the cog and lock ring. But I’d STILL buy a chain whip and lock ring tool yourself as it’s always good to have incase you even want to change your cog
you are too powerful!!!
also that chain is TOO TIGHT, insert track slack and get a lockring that is professionally installed
