Yes - studies have shown that the primary aims of some websites and targeted social media are often to get people to argue over facts, science, the news, &c, rather than push one specific political agenda. One of the studies focused on Russian propaganda, but there are also Chinese, Israel, and US groups arranging this, the result of which is often support for authoritarian polical candidates and parties. There is a sense that the only ones who can bring order are those who can rule with a smaller government and with much more control. Trump, Abbott and DeSantis were elected as populist solutions to corporate greed, and nonetheless expanded options for corporate greed. My political concerns aside, studies have indeed shown that discord among the 99% helps the 1% take more from them. The answer to this - for DAR &c - is to focus much more on organized approaches that will reduce discord for the sake of arranging democratic political solutions. (Some at DAR have plans for a revolution, but it won't work for the 99%. Any attempt for a violent revolution will only help the 1%. Calls to violence will be illegal on many websites, and had they been allowed, would not have helped the DAR causes.)

that is entirely not true.

Granted I dont come here a ton, but I've never seen these calls for revolution or violence you claim to see. By contrast I saw that shit all the time on reddit from various dirtbag lefties, at least before the election. Had Trump won I cant even imagine the level of riots and violence we would have seen. DAR has always been a watered down version of the alt right, that was part of its appeal on Reddit, as it became a place for people who were concerned about the escalating madness we were seeing in the West just as discussion of this was being systematically censored and banned from everywhere else by oligarchs, technocrats and Jewish lobbyists.

Most of the people on reddit at least were just normies that didnt know where else to speak out as their voices were slowly silenced. So of course eventually they took that away from them too. This saidit crowd seems a little dumber and lower quality, but I still havent seen anything like what you are claiming.
