Seems people frequently talk about negative experiences of them then end up banned shortly after

Also seems like people are weirdly quick to jump to their defense for the internet

They’re just trolls. They say their communist, but I haven’t seen any evidence other than they say they hate capitalism. But who doesn’t nowadays? Really they’re anarchists with nothing more to do.

Imagine the worst right wing trump supporter spouting off crazy shit and trying to get you pissed off. That’s them, but the left side.

They also like to team up and have multiple accounts.

Buuut… they usually hate all the same things I do, so it’s hard to hate them too. 🤷‍♂️

Don’t feed the bear.

Wait so are we anarchists or tankies? I'm confused...

You are ideologically incoherent which is descriptions of you are incoherent too.

Usually when I see hexbear users around, they are just holding a normal conversation. But there's this one thread I found where a guy with three obvious alt accounts is trolling, and a dozen hexbear users are licking a certain dictator's boots. So I would say it ranges from Normal to Tankies.

Leftist unity through political illiteracy

More like anti-left unity. This person clearly hates both "tankies" and anarchists. Of course they probably have zero grasp of Marxist Leninism, Maoism, anarchism, or historical materialism in general.
