They are just on the other side of the propaganda coin and are believing different lies than we do. Hexbears often present with an obnoxious attitude, so I understand why you are annoyed by them.

I had arguments with idiots from "innocuous" instances that think the genocide in Gaza is not a genocide because not enough people have died so far. So there's idiots everywhere.

All flavors of tribalism are the same. That core conservative zeal to say whatever promotes the ingroup and condemns the outgroup seems innate to the human brain. Reasoned argument is a learned behavior - and so is faking it.
