I don't post about it much for the same reason but yes, there was always something absolutely real to the phenomenon; this was clear long before the recent "revelations". As for your point about anticapitalist leanings, agreed and the last "revelations" about the potential huge implication of the defense industry are particularly useful in that regard.
With that being said, I'm still not convinced Grusch himself isn't a psyop (knowingly or not).
