    Hexbear was the one ran afoul of but I’ve heard of the others, have had conversations on .ml without issue, idk lemmygrad. They really like the china and russia kind of countries I guess, and it seems like a top down sort of operation with a chain of command rather than a collective of like minded people. Perhaps a long palsied arm of russian intelligence.

    It is a bit ironic though, that they are all rather “woke,” and purportedly far left, while holding up as models countries that are fascist and authoritarian and could only be classified as hard right, dictatorships. Neither Russia nor China exemplifies the wokeness so to speak they wield, and in fact helped coin through their proxies that definition. In fact either would probably imprison anyone loudly espousing their ethos in those countries in a work camp.

      FYI all those instances are mostly the same people, just with different masks. .ml is the one where they’re at least trying to look reasonable. Grad is mask off. Hexbear is used for trolling.

        Whom are these people do we have any idea? The reasonable ones I talked to during the big troll on my original offense explained they weren’t super politically correct westerners for communists mostly outside the US if not the west altogether. That’s all I know, but I know some are in the UK and US and Spain at a minimum.
