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?

he has gone to and showcased a lot of major labor disputes/strikes and protests on his massive platform. twitch is a multibillion dollar company and he’s the largest politics streamer on the platform. im not gonna pretend to be his biggest fan but a casual viewer. so many normies find their way to him and generally speaking he’s a good ambassador to bring people into leftism. he’s pro china, openly says the Uighur genocide is made up which is a bold stance to openly take as im sure any of us have experienced people’s reactions to that
