I don’t have to strain too hard, my wife is a brown immigrant and I recently armed myself for that exact scenario. That’s not the same as just taking to the streets in a half assed, unplanned spontaneous “revolution”.
You’re free to believe what you want, but I’ve had this conversation at least a dozen times. Yes I’ve engaged sincerely, yes I confirmed that that was precisely what they were saying. Your lack of belief does not a strawman make.
i did as well. i struggle to find any serious leftist here who wants “spontaneous unplanned revolution” because it’s an antithesis of what we want. any leftist will tell you we are far from having material conditions for it.
Who knows? Maybe they’re bots or trolls trying to get leftists to do something stupid, maybe they’re naïve kids who took fringe or hyperbolic takes to be more mainstream. They’re here though.
These “leftists” aren’t any more legitimate than the mainstream commercial nihilists in the original.

i don’t think anyone is advocating for that. that’s kind of a strawman.

i don’t think there are many bots on lemmy just yet though.
I was leaning more toward the latter anyway
