I had a Gen 1 as well and had to stop using it a few years back because it literally couldn't handle the streams anymore. Not sure if the underlying compute became too intensive for it or what, but it would crap out, drop frames, freeze, stutter, and disconnect.
I switched to the "Chromecast with GoogleTV" (4K 2020 model). It has all the installable apps and crap, but you can delete and lock down a lot of the defaults, and I was also able to sideload SmartTube for De-Googled YouTube enjoyment.
It would be a clusterfuck. Especially since the type of violence some have advocated for recently is more akin to political assassination. We need to push back on the false equivalence of "person X says stuff I don't agree with about perceived identities, therefore that speech 'unpersons' me, therefore it's tantamount to a death threat, therefore actual violence against that person is justified." You can literally find examples in these comments here.
If you have thousands of lonewolves each deciding unilaterally to assassinate (insert political opponent or public figure here) based on their own subjective perceptions, that no longer resembles a civil war, it more resembles a free-for-all hellscape.
I'd suggest a more useful concept is to form strong local communities committed to their own well being, mutual aid, and defense. Whatever that looks like for you in your area. Your mileage may vary. This is not legal advice.
