Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

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?

Probably the strongest leftist voice online that isn’t a complete pipeline for the Dems. He’s told his audience numerous times to read Lenin. Something I have never heard any Breadtube or Socdem darling like Bernie Sanders do.

Importantly, he doesn’t left-bash. Don’t have to agree with every take he has. The fact that he doesn’t shit on AES, encourages people to think positively of China, and encourages them to visit and explore “further pipeline” sources is good.
