I'm not sure I've seen any evidence of it existing though, is it just a Boogeyman, or so something that happened a while back? An in joke of some sort?

The hexbear users are especially annoying as it seems to be a requirement for them that they embed the most annoying jpegs/gifs into their propaganda comments.

I've always leaned left, and not in the "American Democrat" way. I've read Marx, Engels, Kropotkin, Luxemburg, etc. Not that I agree with them on everything, but they make good points.

But every day I see tankies defend Russia just because it's not the US, I feel like I'm moving more center just out of spite.

Yeah it's amazing how tone deaf some of them can be, and they don't even realise when they're doing the opposite of promoting their views
