Suddenly seeing more hexbear posts. Did we re-federate with them? (sh.itjust.works)

This isn't "one person's propaganda", this is an organized effort by a powerful authoritarian government to destabilize democracies.

"Combating with facts" doesn't work, they'll just try to engage you and waste your time. If you make a great point, they'll never admit your right, they'll just post a meme or picture to try to turn it into a joke.

Source?

And if they respond with a meme, I just downvote and move on. If I notice the same person doing it multiple times, I'll block them.
