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

Honestly I suspect most AnCaps are knowingly doing a bit. They know AnCapism is bullcrap, what they really want is to regress back to feudalism so they can be an Earl who gets to have Prima Nocta with the peasant girls but they know that looks bad so they just advocate for an ideology that would essentially lead to that. They're just doing feudalism with extra steps.
The patron saint of ancaps, Murray Rothbard, was 100% doing a bit. He was being a complete contrarian and trying to make other academics mad. Like one time another professor asked him to name a few historically anarcho-capitalist societies and Rothbard answered exclusively with societies that used slavery, like medieval Iceland. He wasn't being serious. He didn't believe it would become a real society either, he was just an asshole.
Modern ancaps seem to be mostly deep level internet obsessives, so I do believe they buy into the ideology. I don't think they consider the full implications, but there is a massive overlap with ancaps and pedophiles. Or like those weirdos who move to Panama or Chile to do their stupid little projects where someone gets shot.
definitely the "dark enlightenment" weirdos who basically just advocate for neofeudal technocracy somehow layered over libertarianism. ex Peter Thiel
