The thing is that it doesn't seem like there is any organization occuring at all. Obviously I get that you can't just say I'm going kill person x or I'm organizing a rw terror group or whatever on public social media - but all kinds of people say "there is no political solution" as a thought terminating cliche to indicate that they are fully checked out and doing nothing, with no impetus to go beyond that. Which is stupid. You might as well try politics if you're gonna not do anything else.

And if you really think there's no political solution you should probably act like you think there is one anyway to keep the heat off your schemes. So really saying "there is no political solution" is completely worthless from every angle except maybe as a completely theoretical statement.
Exactly this. It's cowardice and impotence disguised as being an epic badass radical.

If these people were serious about "No PoLiTiCaL sOlUtIoN", they would absolutely never talk about it on the internet. If they were competent on top of that, they'd do what every effective revolutionary force has done and build out or co-opt an ostensibly legal organization, using it as cover to prepare for all eventualities.

These people don't want to fight a civil war, though. That would be terrifying for them. They aren't in shape, they're terrified of dying, and they're sufficiently socially inept that nobody capable would want to associate with them. They want the same things the average boomer Democrat wants - to stick around under a declining system that lets them live comfortably enough and, at all costs, avoid being marked as a threat to its power.

Thus, they make it painstakingly clear that their role is not just to avoid doing anything at all, it's to try to demoralize and divide the system's enemies as much as they can, so that the system will view them as useful at best and entertaining at worst, but never as a threat or an enemy.
