"every position i have is true, you're the brainwashed ones!" continues to exclusively read washington post and NYT

Tankies only call themselves as leftists. And some places, like Hexbear, aren't genuinely anything at all except people seeking "the dunk" - the appearance of winning an argument regardless of the reality of it (which requires a rigidly controlled echo chamber).

Hexbear got rid of their dunk tank comm. They are one of the most active instances with an excellent ongoing thread for international news and have some of the best analysis from people living in the Middle East, Nordic countries, China, South America, etc. Their mutual aid comm is one of the few places you can give directly to Palestinians, and a lot of comrades in need have found monetary help there (including me). Hexbear has its problems, but saying that whole instance is all about "seeking the dunk" is just another display of your ignorance, and how ironic it is that you keep accusing everyone else of only being interested in "winning and argument regardless of reality" all while revealing how unwilling you are to engage with actual reality. Every accusation a confession.
