Hexbear is a community of tankies (though they claim to be from different parts of the “left” spectrum, they’re almost entirely tankies).

Tankies are authoritarian fascists disguising themselves as leftists socialists. They full throat support, for example, Chinese genocide and Russian kidnapping of Ukrainian children and if you challenge these views you’re only ever met with “but what about America” whataboutisn bullshit.

I am sorry, but your comment does not make any sense. You call tankies fascist, which is derived from the italian Fasci: the members of the Italian national socialist party (Partito Nazionale Fascist). The german word for national socialism is Nationalsozialismus and members for short: NAZI

The modern day Chinese government is many things, but they are for sure not fascist. Even if socialism and national socialism have many things in common, they are the exact opposite of the extremism spectrum.
