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

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.

I must be missing something, as that is a standard account of annihilationism, i.e. the belief in a self that is destroyed when the body dies.

How is it oxymoronic to think that the khandas don’t contain a self? What’s going on here?
