    What is hexbear? I have heard many people taking about it, but sure why users from that instance are aggressive/rude

      A role-playing instance where disaffected middle-class American boys act as third-world revolutionaries from the mid-1980s.

      Oh and they like to communicate by image reactions because that’s how Twitch raised them.

        Tankies are actually overwhelmingly high-class. Usually college kids

          I’d still put most college kids into middle class, though I’m sure there’s a spread.

            Oh, these are rich college kids. Mummy and daddy own a mansion kind of rich college kid.

            I think it’s guilt that makes them so crazy.

      I have to disagree with users saying it’s just a bunch of communists and rich college kids.

      I think the core of that instance is a state-funded disinformation effort. Sure, there are real people on there, especially vegans, leftists extremists, queer people, Arabic people, because they’re the target of their propaganda.

          That is an awful way to look at communities. You should probably expand your horizons a bit and start interacting with more people

              Yeah I agree that there’s a lot of bs on lemmy. but reddit is more normie, I don’t think it’s a split between nazis and tankies

          I guess if you’re looking for them that hard then it’s all you’ll see in your feed. Where do you buy brushes that big, btw?

              Maybe it’s only a way for them to express their disagreement with the actions if the israelian government ? As this is deemed antisemitic, it might cause overreaction…

                  Those who fall for the division can’t see the larger picture. Or perhaps they can, and they revel in it.

                  Well, it’s a little more than " Israël bad". More like “Israel supposed to be good but kills tens of thousands of children, women and men, destroys any possible future for nations (incl. itself), ignores UN resolutions for years and is actively expanding colonies on extremist religious grounds and far right supremacist views”.
