Leftists: Don't worry it's late stage capitalism so inevitably it will all fall apart without us needing to do anything. If we voted for Kamala, nothing would be different anyway, so it's a good thing we're doing nothing.
Leftism is all about making people feel good about doing nothing. And that's the point. Online socialism is monetized (like everything else online) so they need to convince you to feel good about buying from the merch stores of online "socialist influencers".
It's a similar grift to the incel dating advice scam. If they gave good advice and your life improved you would stop consuming their content. Monetized socialism is always trying to sabotage liberals because if liberals were successful in improving people's lives, the monetized socialists would lose their income stream. Liberals are a natural ally to socialists, but they are the competition to monetized socialists.
So monetized socialists (Hasan, Vaush, etc) will constantly tell you how bad liberals are, because liberals are competition to them and they only care for that sweet monetization money.
Feel good about doing nothing? Have you actually watched a Vash or Hasan stream. Yeah the bad outcome is almost totally guaranteed at this point in time. But we're still being basically yelled at to go phone, bank or organize.
As for monetization. Welcome to capitalism. You either monetize or you go out of business. Better to monetize and spread propaganda than be too holy to be effective.
Hasan is purely outrage farming and nothing more. He builds no electoral power, has no goals to move to, and couldn't care less to build coalitions. You know, the stuff you gotta do to get things done. He needs his viewer base to remain angry all the time because at this point he is completely audience captured and his subsistence depends on him just yapping to Twitter headlines all day.
