Hexbear is leftist in the way that coontown was right-wing. They're pro-Russia and for the invasion of Ukraine, something that most people on the rational left disagree with.
I'm fine with lumping the members of that domain together because they choose to flock together.
I don't fully understand the analogy because I've never heard of that other place before, for which I am thankful because something tells me it's best not to know it.
It's a (now removed afik) racist subreddit for exactly what you would assume. I make the connection in that it's only right wing insofar as you would assume racism = right wing. The point being that Hexbear is only leftist insofar as you would assume communist ideology is inherently radically leftwing (regardless of its potentially authoritarian implementation). Hexbear is extreme and should not necessarily be lumped into the grand ideology of rational leftists.
(This is my dumbshit opinion)
