I look at the volume of what is being said and the relatively low number of people here as a sign that not everyone is making the argument in bad faith. Some are, with the intent of suppressing voting. However, I feel like some people truly believe this. I know because I’ve talked to people outside of Lemmy who believe this that I know aren’t paid Russian shills.

And yeah, a lot of it is just surface level stuff because they want to burn everything down in a revolution. If that is the case, it means participating in the current political system is worthless. The problem is that people of their political beliefs are likely not the ones who would be successful at overthrowing the government.
