I agree with LemmeAtEm’s take on them, that person seemed like a troll trying to make anarchists look bad. Pretty much everything they said seemed almost deliberately crafted to make their own position as repulsive as possible. People like that quickly get sniffed out on Hexbear, but on an instance like dbzer0, where “hating tankies” is more important than actually engaging with any leftist ideas, people like that can easily ingratiate themselves and push the people there into believing the most stupid (and eventually hateful) things possible.
I enjoyed arguing with them because it really took very little time for them to take on full peasant brain “I do not care about evidence, this is a vibes only zone”
It’s the same as how so many reactionaries only care about “owning the libs” and don’t actually believe in anything, but it’s “owning the tankies” instead
That “masquenox” person is even worse imo, it’s like all the worst comments ever posted on radlib reddit gained sentience lmao

Yes, genuinely vile. Like distilled meanness. I regret going to read the thread.

I genuinely admire your patience
Yep, they never seemed to engage with any of what FunkyStuff was telling them, just resorting to redditor-tier insults. Deeply unserious.
That thing where they quote an incomplete sentence and argues against a point that no one actually made is fucking infuriating
And they know exactly what they’re doing
Yep, it seems like they don’t respect anyone who disagrees with them, so they think it’s fine to be entirely dishonest.

Toddler behavior
