I don't understand, are the people on these servers kremlin bots or are they really that stupid?

I think they are just trolls. Hexbear has a community called "The Dunk Tank" where they proudly announce when they successfully "dunked" on someone, also known as arguing in bad faith with prejudicial hostility and no will to listen until the other side gives up and leaves. They mark that as a win in their book and applaud to it.
