I just wish he used that energy and put it towards more. And I mean its totally unfair of me to sit here and say when I reflect on it, since I have the same hardships with getting physically involved past my own head sometimes. Its just that he's got a huge platform and he could be putting that towards ventures that have a real chance of making material difference. And that may come with time, in which case I would wholeheartedly endorse the grillpill again, I'm just saying
I get what you mean. He's said before that he's not in the DSA anymore, even though he founded a chapter, because he doesn't want his association with Chapo to make the DSA look bad. I think it's that kind of worry that keeps him from doing the stuff you would want him to do.
I think he does a lot of valuable propaganda, though. Just bringing more people to the left is valuable, but he's also inspired a lot of people (according to posts on his subreddit and the chat on his stream) to do IRL organizing. I think that his ship in a bottle metaphor made a lot of people realize that what they thought of as doing politics online is worthless and doesn't give you any skills for doing politics IRL.
Edit: He also said that he wants to be part of the Belden Program if that ever becomes anything. Since Brace has such a good track record, it could happen.
