The irony is that if they were merely antifascists that were dunking on racists and transphobes, a lot of people would genuinely appreciate them. The tankie brain-rot ruins that though.

    "You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the fascists, not join them!"

    Although, tbf, I think I'd still be somewhat annoyed at Hexbear style discourse even if it was oriented towards a good cause. Much less annoyed, of course, but "I know you are but what am I?", Sea Lioning, Gish Galloping, and images of pigs pooping on their own balls are not great for the tone of any community.

    Let's face it, these people are run-of-the mill internet trolls who are working with a politics angle. Their only cause is distruption of online communities for shits and giggles. Treat them like any other troll - block on user level, defederate on instance level.

    It's weird how they can't seem to realize they're literally, exactly the same as trumpers. They're just tanky Qanon. It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad.

    I'm fairly certain most of them are trumpers. They're far right 4chan trolls roleplaying as what they think leftists sound like (and they're really not very good at it), possibly for laughs, possibly to make leftists sound bad, probably both. And some of them are Chinese and / or Russian shill bots.

    They are all mentally unwell. So sick of seeing their shit. Literally no different than the ultra MAGA crowd just the opposite end of the spectrum. Insane people congregating sharing insane beliefs.

    Honestly I'm pretty sure the coup part happened on reddit. I feel like I witnessed multiple subs get taken over by tankies.

    ToiletPaperUSA almost got couped. Like, in a nearly literal sense. One of the mods expelled like half of the other mods for the crime of not being tankies and started censoring anti-China posts.

    You have to appreciate the irony of forcing people to be communist, or else. Literally doing the thing they are denying.

    Just be glad they're staying on hexbear and not creating alts on other instances.

    These are not intellectually serious people. They should not be treated as such.
