To me this honestly feels like the best path for him and his fanbase. Their ideology is pure spite and we clearly can't deprogram Vaush himself (I doubt anybody could), so ideally his followers will just gradually get more and more ideologically deranged until they finally refuse to call themselves "leftists" anymore and we no longer have to argue over whether or not they're "allies." Sure, the right/libs will just absorb them instead, but they've proven they're useless at anything other than intentionally provoking people so i doubt it'd help them. I'd rather they be mocking from the sidelines than actually organizing and sabotaging movements from the inside.

They'll just move on to becoming neoliberals who talk about how they were radicals in their youth before facing reality or something like that.
