Wrong views due the khandhas being impermanent, unsatisfactory and not-self

Within Buddhism, I have never seen anyone argue that anatta should be understood as an oxymoronic, self-deluded denial of one’s own existence.

Like, it’s not a real position that anyone takes or argues for.

What gives?

It absolutely is a position taken by people within Buddhism, in fact it is taken by people on this very board and in this very thread:

@Sunyo

The annihilationist imagines a self, or “I”, or “me”, whether inside or outside of the aggregates. Such a thing doesn’t really exist, but they think that it does. As annihilationists they think it is destroyed at death. The Buddha saw reality as it is and realized there is no self or “I” or “me” at all. So it can’t be destroyed at death either.
