I've been trying to find a good Marxist instance, but Lemmygrad and Hexbear are widely hated. Why is that? Are there any good leftist instances?

Observing TheAnonymouseJoker's behavior, one might note a certain irony in the psychological dynamics at play. Typically, he is the epicenter of tumultuous online interactions, engaging in continuous provocative posting, ostensibly for amusement. Yet, when the dynamic shifts and he finds himself the as the so called "target" (when in reality he's playing the victim card), there is a palpable transition in his behavioral response. This shift is akin to an individual transitioning from a position of instigating disorder to fervently adhering to self-made structured guidelines and regulations.

It's a fascinating psychological phenomenon, reminiscent of cognitive dissonance, where one's actions and reactions are incongruent. His behavior exemplifies a marked discrepancy between his usual role as an agent of chaos and your sudden embrace of strict rule adherence when faced with similar treatment. This dichotomy prompts reflection on the human propensity for selective resilience and vulnerability, particularly in the context of social interactions and perceived threats to self-concept. The disparity in his responses underlines a broader psychological principle: individuals often demonstrate a tolerance for initiating certain behaviors but display a contrasting intolerance when those same behaviors are directed towards them.
