tankies are not bastions of logical and rational thought. hexbear is way, way out there - about as divorced from reality as is humanly possible

Between them and all the goons over at Hexbear…. They’re basically the r/the_donald of the left.
I’m convinced that it began as a big troll/joke amongst them, and that we’re just about at the point where all the dumbasses begin to take it seriously.
Because it has grad in the name. grad= Leningrad. Leningrad= Russia. Russia= Russians. Russians= scum. Lemmygrad users are fucking scum
I pretty much enjoy most of what I see from hexbear, but I have blocked a bunch of stuff from lemmygrad.
Well it's because they are Marxist.
In the Lemmy culture Marxism has a very bad name because almost religious overtones of its adherents.
Which is of ironically very much what Marx was warning against. But that's how it works right now.
