Nah, Hexbear is cheering the genocide on. They're mask-off at this point.

I'm pretty sure they would say that ukraine shouldn't exsist anyway because the US propaganda is taking over them or whatever.
"Euromaidan was a coup" they seriously claim, and add a quote from Mersheimer.

I don't understand, are the people on these servers kremlin bots or are they really that stupid?
I think they are just trolls. Hexbear has a community called "The Dunk Tank" where they proudly announce when they successfully "dunked" on someone, also known as arguing in bad faith with prejudicial hostility and no will to listen until the other side gives up and leaves. They mark that as a win in their book and applaud to it.

I am glad to announce you guys that number of tankies here is below 4% according to up/downvotes
It's low enough to know them by their usernames and shame them every time they post something
As long as they're genuine and civil about their opinions, I encourage a space for that discussion. If it's disingenuous trolling or crude propaganda then it becomes a problem.
The general public framing of the war and Russian "denazification" messaging has basically broke criticism of the situation in the mainstream. It's even to the point where you can support Ukrainian people and clearly identify Russia as the aggressor, but if you rationalize how this war didn't come out of nowhere people's alarm bells go up, and immediately you are scrutinized whether you're a Russian troll or not. (There is no measure of sincerity online.)
The shocking thing for me is how quickly people revel in violence the second there's a moral justification for it. Like you see closeups of injured Russians getting grenades dropped on them and see their bodies exploding, and it's almost treated as a moral duty to view this as entertainment, consuming it on the same social media feeds you would memes and friend's family photos.

Russia has all the power - they can end the war as soon as they pull their shitbirds out of Ukraine & Crimea.
And hell, get the fuck out of Georgia while we're discussing. Go home, sign up for a 12 step program and figure out your fucking lives while awaiting the warcrimes charges.
I feel bad for the average Ivan who gets shoved into the meat grinder, except I think those are all sunflower food now and it’s the dregs. The dregs of a brutalist society..
Slava Ukraini! It’s good to see all the weapons we built for this exact purpose being used properly, Vlad is being impaled on our 30 year old dusty stuff
