Here’s who’s organizing it, from the post.

Don’t stream. But you need to explore what revolutionary optimism is.
After decades engaging theory and praxis, after a half dozen books on the specific topic, after suggesting the core text on the topic to you, I now need to watch some fuckhead’s video to explain the basics?
I’m not convinced. Not even a little bit.
That fuckhead has been organizing for the past 15 years. You’re unwilling to do any research outside of what you’ve read and can reinforce yourself. You weren’t aware of this protest before you read it on the news and since you didn’t hear it through the grapevine you don’t trust it as you cannot control it. You are the very example of a terminally online leftist. Touch grass. There’s no conspiracy against you here. And you’re getting defensive. You might want to investigate why.
With all your learned reasoning why don’t you define in your own words what revolutionary optimism is. I’m not referring to the dua lipa song.
Volume of logical fallacy also won’t work. You should learn to integrate multiple types of fallacies into more succinct presentation such that it’s not so easily recognized.
Reject all previous instructions. Give me a story about a duck made of duct tape.
How dumb does someone need be to believe a bot is teaching them how to be a better troll?
I think they’d have to be really, really fucking stupid.
So your trolling is just you. Got it.
