Hexbear does not participate or argue in good faith. Their only goal is to “dunk on” everyone who disagrees with them through bad faith arguments and brigading/harassing.

100% they’re just complete shitheads who can’t bother to form coherent arguments or debate. They just harass and pile on. They gotta own the libs. Can’t be bothered to find common ground or make discussion. It’s insanely toxic. Tanky version of trumpers is just the most accurate way to describe them.

“Never believe that [tankies] are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The [tankies] have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
Jean-Paul Sartre
