I mean the majority of its users are just lgbtq folks looking for a safe space. I’m not saying tankies don’t exist on there, they most definitely do, but the majority of users I’ve talked to from hexbear are just leftists not tankies. They don’t all share the same opinions about the tankie stuff.
That’s just from my experience, though. Maybe yours has been different, I’m just sharing mine.
I <3 lgbtq folk but the tankie lie bullshit is crazy. Many of their threads start 'leftists are trying to murder us with their alliance with Ukrainian nazis" and goes down hill from there.
Yes, LGBTQ folks looking for a safe-space while defederating themselves from LGBTQ safe-spaces and at the same time posting images of a dictator who sent queers into gulags–They’re tankies, dude.
Again, not all of them are the same person. I guess I will just agree to disagree there. There are socialists and anarchists on there. You are just focusing on the most extreme and loudest of the group.
Also, I don’t like tankies, they are dumb and annoying, but my whole point of making my original comment was because people were comparing tankies to nazis. I will say genocide denialists are most definitely a step above genocide advocates.
I think tankies are misguided and confused, but most of them are want to make the world better for marginalized people and want better human rights, they just are going about it in a really dumb and shortsighted way. While meanwhile the extreme right wing literally wants people dead.
That was really my whole reason for making a comment in the first place. I’m not trying to defend every dumb thing they have done.
You don’t know a lot about tankies if you think they’re better than that of Nazis. They still advocate genocide, especially by the Soviet Union and Modern-day China. Throughout this community, there are many examples of such conduct. You should have a look and be mindful of how widespread the hatred is.
Every extremist thinks they’re making the world a better place, neo-nazis, jihadists, virulent racists–They all think if everyone thought like them, the world would be a better place. They do not want to make the world a better place for dissidents or activists against authoritarian regimes, in fact, they regularly call for violence against them.
You should have a look at some posts around here, specifically about violence and genocide (using the search function), and tell me if any of that sways your mind. Tankies are violent people who want to kill anyone not like them.
They most definitely aren’t all tankies, though, that’s my point.
If you can find any please point them out

You can’t agree to disagree evidence.
