Saying somebody is from "hexbear" or a "tankie" is the new "communist" of American Liberals, deployed just like "communist" was in the old days when the chief of whatever political tribe they support does something which is pretty much Fascism and they can't actually argue or justify it away.
I supposed that because of their position in politics is so much to the right and so far from the center, than American "moderates"/liberals invariably just see one big blob to their left mixing everything up to and including all the variants of Communism.
That said, this case is really special as even Center-Right people are against supporting the Nueu Holocaust being committed by Israel: one needs to be so far to the right to the point of being Nazi-adjacent to support this or those that support it.
"Guys, these hexbear users and tankies people are talking about seem to be obnoxious, reactionary, tribalistic assholes that unironically support oppressive regimes. Clearly people hating them is The Red Scare 2.0"
It’s the third Red Scare.
Stay scared, then 😭
Are you saying the Red Scares didn’t happen? Or, that you approve of political repression?
If Putin was as supporting Israel, you hexbear bootlickers would be full critical support
Cheers for confirming my point so well!
