    They have threads like this very often and usually it’s the same 3 or 4 users who debate the libs. Cowbee, BrainInABox, Diva, and one more I’m forgetting. But what makes me very frustrated is that a few users on the lib side of the argument insist that the leftist users are nothing but dogmatic trolls without any argument. In general there’s just a lot of baseless accusations thrown around in these kinds of threads: they claim that we support Putin, that we don’t have trans users and it’s just people pretending, that anarchists aren’t allowed on Hexbear, that we’re bots, etc. But when a few users who are literal evidence against those claims (being critical of Russia, trans, anarchists, obviously not bots) respond to the accusations they’re dismissed as trolls!

      Yeah these are the snarky dishonest libs who have their egos invested in “winning”, but don’t actually know anything. Consequently, they lie and change the subject asap. They’re the thing they are claiming to be against: dogmatic, eager to troll, supporting every war and leader they’re told to by their (in this case corporate) leaders.

      Their insecurity is hard to fully describe.
