      Yeah, that’s not trolling nor sealioning.

      People didn’t find your joke to be funny or helpful, and your responses have been rather antagonistic.

      I’ve offered thoughtful explanations of why I don’t find your post humorous, but harmful instead. I appreciate the evidence you’ve provided in response, but the labeling isn’t helpful.

      Poke some fun at the oligarchs, and I’ll send more LOLs your way.

        And I explained why your explanation is ahistorical and does not match observed reality. There is a discussion to be had regarding messaging, but the reality of the situation is that the sate has a monopoly on legalized violence in form of police and military forces, and it is not shy about using violence against the public. This is true for every western country where mass protests are suppressed brutally and violently. The only realistic option for the working majority is to build power structures that are able to meet the violence of the state standing up.
