It makes leftism seem more fun, which brings more people into the fold, which sounds beneficial, but then you realize that the new people are just like the old people and are really just making memes and jokes.
It's like having a party and inviting 20 people, but only 4 of your ride or die friends show up. You still have a great time, but where the fuck is everybody else that was sharing memes in the group chat? When it comes time to act, if all you're accustomed to is agitprop, you're more likely to drop off the cause.
