Some dork with 200,000 followers saying the CCP is bad probably has 1/1,000,000,000th the influence on your average Americans opinion than one Fox News or CNN host has.
And on the flip side them stanning the CCP would have a similarly meaningless affect.
So idk why we spend so much time getting pissy at them for their hot takes when all when all of them disappearing tomorrow wouldn’t change anything.
The reason like MLs and shit hate shit like Breadtube is because they are quite influential gateways into our own ideology which is itself a tiny community in America. This makes what they say and do tremendously influential, and unfortunately by far the most popular producers (who coincidentally tend to have the best production values, senses of humor, and artistic stylizations) are not theory heads and almost universally veer toward being radlibs. The objectively better producers ideologically and theoretically speaking tend to have the most boring production values and stylizations imaginable (ie Paul Cockshott, FinBol, BlackRedGuard) or upload extremely sporadically if at all (TovarischEndymion, DemSoc01).
Of course this is all largely restricted to the online sphere so it mostly doesn't matter. But at the same time look at how toxic the influence of someone like V*ush, who I had never heard of just a year ago, has had on "the left discourse" in such a short span of time.
This is Stimulator erasure.
