it feels simultaneously very dire and also very funny how this person's worldview is very directly informed by a single Twitch streamer.
That scares me, it really does. There's a lot of people, young people especially, getting their marching orders from some nepo baby asshole with a headset that tells them what to think and shapes their worldviews.
I don't think it's that scary, more just kind of bleak. I don't think these very online younger people are doing a lot of organizing or IRL work, are they? What do they even do except post?

Shaping the future perspectives of a large part of a generation of young people has lifelong consequences that can be truly hard to predict, but are present all the same.
Like the hippies of the past, these fuckers are going to one day be condescendingly telling us "I had a communist phase too" when for them "communist" means watching streams and caping for the streamer on a forum.

That's exactly what I dread might happen.
