Richard Wolff debates Destiny. Yes it's real. This Wednesday at 1PM PST hosted and moderated by yours truly pic.twitter.com/d49GW2bBWO— The Serfs (@theserfstv) April 19, 2021
Putting them before gamers how? How do you think Wolff going on a small 1k subscriber BIPOC stream help BIPOC people in any meaningful way? It won't do anything tangible, not one thing, Wolff is not an expert in BIPOC issues nor does he claim to be one. You'll have 1k comrades nodding along with whatever Wolff has to say (probably general stuff about the economy) and everybody will go about their day none the wiser.
On the other hand his debate with Destiny might chip away some amount of Destiny's fanbase. It won't be this earth shattering change in politics but it has a chance of doing SOMETHING.
Dude, half of this website was at some point one of the "anti SJW" gamer types, me included. Why do you keep pretending like these people are unreachable when it clearly isn't true?
Sure, if there's a large online platform comparable to Destiny's with an audience of predominately apolitical BIPOC then yeah Wolff should absolutely go there, but I don't see one honestly. I honestly can't see how Wolff could realistically reach a large audience of BIPOC people today.
White edgelord teenagers is what's on the table today. Tomorrow maybe he goes on prime time national television to talk about marxism, but we're not there yet.

Yeah like being a StupidPol recruitment drive.

Our time will always be better spent reaching out to people who are struggling instead of white edgelord teenagers watching destiny.
