I guess that is my position

This is their house, you came here, if they don't have any good answers that's fine because they don't owe you any.

I really think it would be more productive to focus your frustrations at the person who made the meme.

It involves a wide variety of behaviors, including the stuff you said, but primarily the first thing that comes to mind for me is the behaviour of trying to force/coerce people to engage in debates/discussions that they don't want to have or are otherwise unprepared to have, usually on the bad-faith preposition that anyone who is unwilling to participate in said debate/discussion must only be unwilling for the reason of being wrong.

This is literally their instance IMO they don't really owe anyone anything here.

Bad takes are allowed within the privacy of one's own home.

I mean they just shared a meme from an instance you aren't federated with and quickly had like 20 people trying to demand complex conversations about history with them.

A lot of the complaints directed at them would be better served directed at whoever made the meme.

Yes to the first part. Although, I'll take this moment to say: hexbear's left unity could use a tune up

I'm just trying to talk about the latter behavior you described, which is kindof a symptom of what I mentioned

Wait I didn't mean to criticize citations I love citations mb.

What did I say I'll edit it

I'm not complaining, I'm entertained.

And mostly using that language was me trying to reference the meme, try to bring it all full circle.

I'm not saying I think this is the end of leftism as we know it or anything. I'm just appreciating the bar fight I guess.

It hasn't been a friendly thread.

I'm not trying to make enemies, or say hexbear is as bad as people make it out to be

This thread is just no good

I don't remember seeing that specifically, I might have, but I did specifically see the other several times.

This is a meme I am referencing after seeing it on hexbear. Specifically imitating their language to make a point. Maybe we should talk to them about it too. I obviously hadn't considered the full implications, and will not use that phrase anymore, for sure.

Please don't. I take that seriously and it is obtuse to pretend you don't know the phrase "debate bro". It was a cultural reference, and I have no intention at any point of misgendering anyone.
