Why does he need to be defended? Does he actually contribute to the issues he is concerned with in any way that doesn’t also benefit his brand? How would any streamer, regardless of their professed politics, be worth anything to a revolutionary process? Why is he not a mere spectacle?
I don’t follow all this breadtube content or whatever people call it, and I don’t know that much about him, but I believe he functions as a pipeline for leftist ideas? A source of information or entertainment(?) for more nascent leftists, e.g. liberals who have been driven to gain consciousness as of late.
pretty much, yeah
he’s entry level leftism for the new kids on the block
which is good ofc
