>Nobody on the far-left is advocating for the extreme violence

I have seen many people talking about "burning the system to the ground".

I think that's a metaphor like they want to destroy systematic racism or prison industrial complex? But I haven't seen those posts. Anything public you wanna share?

>I think that's a metaphor

Maybe we could consider it purely metaphorical, if there hadn't been a rash of arsons across the US in recent weeks.

I mean... I'm was looking up stuff and it seems the arsons have been up since March at least in Vancouver.

Cool story, its completely irrelevant to what happened last week in the US
