Hasan Piker is one of the biggest streamers on Twitch, which is quite the accomplishment because the platform was originally for gamers, but he does political commentary. With over 2.2 million followers on Twitch, 1.1 million on Twitter, and 1 million on YouTube, he has quite the influence. He’s a hardcore “eat the rich” type pro-socialist leftist, but he’s not who he appears to be.
That’s just straight up not what “being an academic” means tho.
“Academic” is an occupation. It usually requires a certain level of education (usually a doctorate or being in the process of getting a doctorate) but primarily it’s a job description for people who get paid to teach at Universities (or other academic institutions) and publish papers in academic journals.
Oh, is that what is happening here? Go complain to a homeless person about how Hasan is an elite academic and not a real anti-capitalist, I'm really sure they will care.

I'm sure that's what it looks like from up in the clouds.
Yeah man, learning basic definitions and stuff is only for the academic elites. We proles only know how to place square peg in round hole.
You forgot eat hot chip and lie.
Yeah! You go! Speak truth to the powerless!

The distinction between a college professor and someone who got good grades in college is not a fine one.
