      I saw one of them claiming China was more LGBT friendly than the use the other day and it took me a second to process that they were being completely serious.

    Not even the ones who’s figurative dick they figuratively sucking want them. I wonder why they’re not defederated form anywhere yet. (Same with Lemmygrad and to some extend Kbin)

      Kbin doesn’t have a tankie problem, though?

      The guy running Kbin has a reasonable head on his shoulders. I’ve never seen any problematic folks there. Heck, Kbin is one of the places Beehaw still federates with.

      I do kbin mostly and I can’t say I’ve ever seen a single hexbear post or mag (and only a handful of their users) unless it was someone else telling me what hexbear is or complaining about them.

        They haven’t whitelisted kbin, so you won’t see their posts (edit: unless they’re made to non-hexbear communities). Only their comments on other instances, and a fair number have blocked them at this point.

            If I understand correctly, their posts and comments to communities on other instances will still remain visible to you until your instance specifically blocks them. Hexbear won’t talk directly talk to kbin, but will talk to lemm.ee, and lemm.ee will tell kbin about posts and comments that hexbear users have made on lemm.ee’s communities.

      I’ve gotten serious pushback from them for advancing basic anarchist ideas. The prevailing ideology amongst hexbear users is not anarchist.

        Well, that is contrary to my experience. Most of them say tear it down and destroy it and then if it survives, fill it with communism. That’s anarchy.

                Their heroes are just textbook communists they throw around.

                I bet if you gave each one a billion dollars they wouldn’t share a dime. Everyone’s a communist when they’re poor.

            I’ll agree it’s weaker than my ability to identify a communist. So whatever you call them, it’s not communism. It’s just lip service.

              I can appreciate the desire of modern communists to avoid a repeat of how things went with the USSR, China, etc. However, I don’t think you can wholly repudiate the tankies as non-communist.

                  I mean, I guess, maybe? I think Marxism-Leninism is a fucked up ideology, but I don’t categorically doubt the sincerity of MLs. They’d probably put any sudden windfall towards some sort of vanguard party centralized power bullshit that they think will eventually lead to communism, as is consistent with their ideas.

                  As an anarchist, I don’t think that would be a good use of the money, but I don’t have any particular reason to believe that they’d be more hypocritical about it than any other communist or leftist.

          Marxism-Leninism/Stalinism fell out from communism and with its purges can be considered anti-communist.

      Hmmm. They’re not very happy about anarchism either. Accelerationism fits somewhat if one would try to pin it but there’s a diverse range of users.

        As far as I can tell, they’re contrarian authoritarians. That is, they support strongman dictatorships primarily because doing so shocks the sensibilities of and upsets the people around them. It’s childish nonsense without any rigor.

      They’re anarchist trolls

      Maybe a few, but there’s no reason to think that there’s any more than that, let alone a majority. There’s no shortage of actual tankies in the world, so why should hexbear be some elaborate ruse?

    I’m at the point where I’m more annoyed at the hexbear complainers than the actual hexbear users. The most interaction I’ve had with Hexbear was through posts complaining about them. Everyone seems to understand that they are trolls but are intent on feeding them.

    They are not as big of a problem as some might have you believe.

                Fair. A lot of people do have grievances with them.

                Still, this community and meanwhileongrad account for a significant portion of the discussion about tankies, and would probably be worth it for you to block.
