I mean, you have two flavors of leftist youtubers: ineffectual wokescolds and edgelord dudebros. Edgelords are one leaked DM from them to an underage fan away from pivoting into straight authoritarian nationalism, and wokescolds are basically trying to fill out a pokedex of other online leftists they made enemies with because they didn’t pass a particular ideological purity test.
I’m disagree with this take, but it’s also not baseless.
I don’t think the likes of Vaush or Keffals are about to flip authoritarian nationalist, nor do I think creaters like Hbomb or Philosophy tube fit either bucket to give a couple of examples.
