Revolutionary strategy becomes slower, as subordinated classes must erode dominant forms of civil society and establish new ones.

These new elements of civil society come into being through the organization and class consciousness of the oppressed class.

To widen the point slightly, the internet is not simply reflective of an ideological base, but is in many ways constitutive of it.

Or, in other words, meme magic is real.

("real" in the sense of possessing formative potential of ideological hegemony & thus able to exert material influence)

Or, to put this another way that @ContraPoints mentions, the question of optics shouldn't elide the question of strategy

Subordination of classes is achieved through consent & coercion. 'Optics' isn't about pleasing the powerful, but raising class consciousness

This is why, in a Gramscian sense, @ContraPoints (with others!) is taking part in that war of position on a vital front - youtube!
