This is a good effortpost post on wrecker behavior, specifically with this comment thread about how people posting over-the-top rhetoric is a known technique to doxx people:

For example, one reason someone might be asking for links to 3D printable gun resources is not because they want to be able to use them, but because they want to know who on this site is using which services in particular, so future efforts can be focused to relevant communities with overlap in users. It’s social mapping.

I also wanted to share this piece by Lenin on adventurism:

TLDR is that when someone is advocating for adventurist violence, not engage. Report and move on. At most, call them a fed. If anyone is confused by this, ask for an explanation in the megathread after the ban hammer falls and people will be happy to link you some reading or give you a basic explanation

    Historically, socialist states have treated religious organizations harshly, and there's a Marx quote that goes something like "Communism begins where Atheism begins".

    The western left these days dislikes religious organizations exercising political power over other groups (like Christian Dominionists banning abortion in the US, for instance), and this could be misinterpreted as being anti-religion in general. This is most-likely the source of the "attack and dethrone god" talking point.

    Additionally, I imagine a majority of western leftists would identify as some sort of atheist.
