I mean he's a pretty cool guy, he does organizing and strategy work for campaigns of people who fight climate change and he's a climate activist. He's obviously been afflicted with a terrible illness, but he's also got some things going for him, despite his families insistence they don't have generational wealth he did go to Duke so there's still a good deal of privilege in this claim.
From all accounts it seems he's fighting the good fight. So it's a pretty cool thing that's happened but it's definitely gonna eventually open the door to awful things because capitalism is evil.
