I think Rossman isn't really a lefty guy even though he is critical of corporations, so there are tons of chuds in his audience. I think the clippy thing is an indirect correlation, just a bunch of treat-brained individuals who have opinions on corportlate right-to-repair purely as a consumer, no class or economic analysis involved.
this is true, he owns a small repair business so literally petit-bourgeois, the clippy pfp of some people in his audience is the phenomenon of anti-big corp small business type liberals that don't have a bigger analysis of why or how to solve the right-to-repair issue than promote it culturally, go through the US / EU Courts to get it done, and fund libre software (though I think he's part of FUTO? and it's a controversial org, I think?)
