    …by dunking on their user bases

    They don’t really bother to hide the fact that their primary reason for existing is trollng and brigading, do they?

    Edit: Here is proof that “dunking” is their term for organised brigading, where a hexbear member is posting a comment in another instance on hexbear “if you wanna dunk”.

    Is there a way to just block hexbear? Tankie nonsense almost kept me from trying Lemmy at all, and for the longest time, it’s been good. But recently it’s just tankies everywhere and I’m so over them.

      Using sex workers as a misogynist analogy for political affiliation is bad.

      FTR, Putin and Russian Fascism is bad too.

        Since when is “bitch” a term for a sex worker. Also you missed the speciesism.

          I am talking about the sexualisation of the political work, as bad as it is, not the word. Isn’t ‘bitch’ in that context a word heavily charged with sexualisation?

            Ok let me try to break it down, and it’s necessarily a two-pronged approach:

            First, bitch means a female dog, which is then used for women in the sense of bad-tempered, or semi-affectionate as “my bitch”. The one who gets fucked, less politely in the plural “bitches” among insecure men referring to women rolling their eyes at them.

            Secondly, there’s the meaning of to fuck itself, which can mean sexual intercourse but also things like to mess with, to fuck something up, etc. Very versatile.

            Which then expands the meaning of bitch to also mean people that are subservient to you, that you can, precisely, fuck with, fuck over, and they can’t even tell you to get fucked – if they were in that position they wouldn’t be your bitch.

            Now that’s the point where one could make connections to misogyny and even prison rape but a bitch is not necessarily, and not generally, unwilling to be fucked: The reason conservatives can’t stop themselves from sucking Putin’s dick isn’t that he’s so powerful they can’t refuse, it’s that they love him so much they even overcome their homophobia to do it. Minus the homophobia part just like your mom’s reaction to my dick (SCNR).

            In any case it’s insulting to dogs to compare them with conservatives. They may be loyal to a fault and always looking for someone to look up to but unlike conservatives they do have a heart capable of love.

    Lemmy is already like, 80% anti-capitalist.

    I would say they’re preaching to the choir here, but this is far more obnoxious than preaching.

      The Bolshevists wanted to kill the Mensheviks, though they were both against the capitalists. It ain’t all peace and kindness on the Left

      Ive seen dozens of hexbear and lemmygrad users post unironically that lefties that dont support Lenin and killing any and all capitalists also deserve to be murdered.

    Hexbears users are all either trolls, pro russian and china fascism or both. They don’t add any kind of value to the fediverse.

    If only those MLs understood that by forcing themselves on the public square most people will reject them, and with them the concept of socialism as a whole…

      I’m still not convinced that a sizeable chunk of tankies aren’t right wing false flag types trying to make anything other than the capitalism we’re all dealing with seem reasonable in comparison to the authoritarianism they peddle

        Correct. Because that’s exactly what they make people feel like and if we were actual idiots we would fall for it. Instead they’re just insufferable trolls. Fuck them.

    This is one brand of their typical users. The sooner everyone realizes they have nothing to offer, the better. Everyone needs to defed with hexbear.

    What’s really wild and astounding to me is any of them that might actually not be just trolls. Like, how do you not recognize you’re the bad guys when everyone hates you for what you’re doing to them?
