They're not relevant in the slightest IRL.

Anyone want to explain why I see so much shit about patsocs in every online leftist space, all of which is totally divorced from things people actually give a shit about IRL?

It seems there's this trend where some patsocist says something absurd online -> everyone rushes to dunk/criticize/make fun of it -> the patsoc's message gets amplified to the millionth degree. Do content creators not realize that shitting out 500 videos/threads/posts/etc dunking on something that only exists online is only going to amplify it further?

    He was allowed to pretend to be a leftist for like a year and was featured on fellow channels occasionally, calling himself a Leftcom. Particularly piggybacking on Destiny, etc. All before he started saying the dumb shit.

      Destiny is not a leftist, he doesn’t even pretend to be.

      I don’t really get what you mean by “allowed” as if we have any control over random twitch channels or whatever

        He didn't get big rage-baiting people, he got big riding YouTube and Redditt's content algorithms pandering to breadtube people while saying really vague leftist stuff, usually getting stuff wrong: like not knowing who the CNT-FAI were, calling peasants part of the proletariat, thinking Night Of The Long Knives was a beta-run for Kristallnacht, etc. This is actually what Haz was doing and was getting bigger until people who are actual Marxists outside the Breadtube sphere started seeing his videos and Haz/PatSocs started really dropping the ball and saying dumb shit that outs them as fascists.
