Yeah, that should have been the headline.

Definitely affectation. I suspect the strong German accent is as well. His vocabulary is too good for it.

Could you specify which parts in the comment you replied to which sounds like tankies? They described the paradox of tolerance perfectly as well as summarised the viewpoints of tankies, neither of which any tankies would say themselves.

So you can see why people are wondering about your bizarre remark, and some may even suspect you to have been disingenous.

The way that comment is wrong on so many levels is very indicative on their general stance towards everything. They must get very surprised when they occasionally pop out into the real world and experience how nothing corresponds to their ideas about it.

A bit misleading description of CTH on reddit, because they most certainly developed their obnoxious behaviour and jargon already back then, and they did very little to combat racism and fascism there precisely becuase their obnoxious behaviour was counter-productive to such goals (also there were other subreddits far more active and useful in combating fascism and bigotry on reddit such as r/againstallhatesubreddits, which did actual work on deplatforming fascists).

But other than that it is an apt description of their behaviour here and why they pose such a problem for lemmy in general.

You call it dunking. You know perfectly well what it means, and you being here behaving like you do amply demonstrates it even for people who have deliberate reading issues.

You say while being an asshole in a thread that you have no business commenting in on another instance.

Don’t you think their behaviour in this very thread is very clear evidence that your beliefs that they are a “positive for this society” is completely unfounded?

And of course it is flooded with shitposts from hexbear users busy proving themselves exactly what they attempt to deny that they aren’t.

Their posting history reveals them to be a racist troll.

As the horsehoe theory which came out of it that political compass is garbage though, constructed by right wing libertarians as a propaganda tool for their ideology, it doesn’t reflect actual political theories.

lemmy.ca as well.

And hopefully sh.itjust.works in the very near future.

…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”.

Don’t worry we’re in the process of defederating from you.

The only good thing I have ever heard coming from hexbear.

Aye.

You exemplify tankie behaviour perfectly with your deliberate blatant lies and attempt at gaslighting.

That is a pretty ironic comment because that is not what the paradox of tolerance is at all. The paradox of tolerance is that intolerance needs to be suppressed for tolerance to exist, since tolerance can’t exist alongside intolerance.

The paradox is that tolerance needs to be intolerant towards intolerance in order for a tolerant society to exist, literally the exact opposite of what you wrote.

We were here first

Ah, so there is only room for you on all of lemmy then? That is why you behave in this childish and obnoxious way when others have the gall to simply exist in lemmy.

Yet here you are.
