6chan's admin just doing what tankies do

Because they are campists. I'm still convinced it's like 75% edgy teenagers, 10% state sponsored information warfare, and 15% right wingers trying to see how stupid they can make "leftists" look before getting called out.

For Hexbear at least, I can see two of the reasons: 1) they support the idea of a polarized world where other powers are able to compete on equal terms with America. 2) They must present a united front to those outside, the "enemy", because doing otherwise would provide them ammunition and weaken their own team. For having lurked long enough on their turf, I've seen more nuanced takes on Russia and China that recognize their wrongdoings. Even by the same users who'll be total shills in a World News comment section.

It's a sport game in short...

Other than the possibility they're shills, it seems to be "we oppose the EU, NATO and the US, therefore China and Russia are fantastic". Which makes no sense, obviously, because making sense would be to oppose China and Russia for the same reasons they don't like the US and the EU.

Because they've idolized Russia for so long that to now admitt that they're doing bad things is seen as a personal loss.

And some just genuinly believe the propaganda being fed to them. It's very difficult to admit you were fooled and led to believe things that wasn't true. It's far easier to double down and confine yourself to an echo chamber where they can all agree that it's somehow because NATO or US sponsored the Ukrainian uprising and rigged the Ukrainian election.

So when you think about it, they're the good guys trying to restore order to Ukraine.

So... if someone is on the fringe. Don't insult them. Dont belittle them. Welcome them, and congratulate their strength to say "I was wrong" without making them feel bad for doing it. Not directing that to you, just a statement in general.

Also, are they seriously suggesting Ukraine is the one using human wave tactics? Russia has thrown so many bodies at Ukraine that they’re struggling to find more bodies to throw into the grinder.

so many bodies the Ukrainians created the term 'ditch meat' to describe all the abandoned, rotting russians.

They lie so much they’re now starting to believe themselves

No, it's for sure the country with I believe just under 1/3 of the population which is throwing as many bodies as they can at the front. Definitely. It only makes logical sense.

It's an affectionate nickname for Hexbear. You might know that they behave like a bunch of 4channers, throwing and smearing their poop around; and Hexagon=>6 sides (must spell it out clearly, else the smart kids won't understand)... both combined make 6chan.
