I can never tell when tankies are arguing in bad faith, or legitimately not understanding the point. Not that it really matters in the end, I suppose, lol
Yup. I keep saying this about places like Hexbear. From my interactions, the majority seem to be True Believers™. People keep mistaking the “authoritarian first, and leftist maybe third or fourth (but sometimes nothing but lip-service)” attitudes as fascism. However, they are two completely different forms of authoritarianism. Sure, both tend to celebrate summary executions and use LGBTQ+ people as a means to an end but, the desired end is different.

Some large number of them are larping facists trying to troll.
No doubt. Unfortunately, some are certainly genuine.
