Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Rules:

  1. No bigotry of any kind.
  2. No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
  3. No genocide denial

We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.

Curious about non-tankie leftism? If you've got a little patience for 19th century academic style, let a little Marx and Kropotkin be your primer!

Marx's Communist Manifesto, short and accessible! Highly recommended if you haven't read it

Kropotkin's Conquest Of Bread

Selected works of Marx

...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".

I mean, did anyone doubt that? There was a post about the Ukranian war not long ago where almost every single comment belonged to hexbear users, but nah, they weren't brigading at all, it's just a coincidence that they were the only ones who had anything to say.
