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 agree. I am just skeptical of the whole streaming complex. I’m skeptical you can really learn revolutionary things primarily from a screen and even though we know there has to be more there often isn’t. But in the meantime I suppose it doesn’t salt the soil the way the neo fascists obviously can.
