    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.

    That’s because they’re not communists. They’re anarchist trolls making fun of everything—including themselves.

      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.

            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.

    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.

      Look at the flurry of downvotes you’ve received for daring to interrupt the circlejerk.

        Surprisingly, complaining in a community about how tired you are of hearing about the subject of that community doesn’t tend to play well.

          A whole community existing just for this purpose only proves their point further.
