I don’t really think he knows this site’s culture at all. No one is dissuading people from reading theory lol

Yey or ney for him?

As someone said in the post

As far as I can tell, he’s a guy who spends all his time posting about how all leftists do is post.

And this ain’t the first time, Roderick’s a bit terminally online, arguing against other based progressive like JT (Second Thought) and Michael Hudson…

    That could be true, and definitely is for a number of “left-wing” creators. I don’t know if that’s the case for this, though, because he seems to (no hate to him here) really not be that popular? Or content-creator-y? Like he writes essays and critique pieces, he doesn’t make videos or whatever and to my knowledge none of this is monetized, so would that even be a motive? I don’t know, but either way it’s an “ugh” moment lol.

      I think there is a lot to say about the brain’s reward center motivating a desire for post engagement for any social media user, regardless of their size. Him being a content creator who likely has some inner desire for his work and theories or whatever he he producing to be spread would likely only increase the feeling of reward that the average user gets from a like or a share, since for him it might feel like praxis or education or something that would be extra rewarding. You don’t need to be well known or get huge engagements to have a subconscious motivation for more.
