It's common among terminally online politispergs of all flavours unfortunately. They're too braindead to draw their own conclusions about what's happening around them so they need an "approved" personality to tell them what to think and validate their opinions before they share them themselves.I find it funny how every hardcore left leaning people constantly quote ContraPoints or Hasan.
You see the same shit on the right with Ben Shapiro/Jordan Peterson etc.. It's cringe.
