That sounds like a great plan. It'll absolutely get him a decent following of both people who agree with him and virulently disagree. His social media strategy will inspire a lot of debate, especially as he poses direct questions.
Of course, that debate won't be confined solely to his account. It'll bleed out, especially as he's tapping into some deep emotions and conversations people are already having, just much more quietly. Some of the political unrest has already been focused on the corporations that have been running the show, and a lot of people will be viewing Loki as a spokesperson for these views. While quite obviously none of the "official" media channels that are in the UN and corporations' pockets will be paying him any mind, larger influencers will. Considering the pull and reach that influencers have over social media, however, that isn't a bad thing.
He'll be getting all sorts of invitations—commentary style e-celebs asking him to come onto their Cooltalks for collabs, more serious literary channels asking him for interviews, etc. This will run the gamut from videos that will likely turn into silly comedy pieces to more measured conversations, so it's up to Loki which invitations he'll accept and which influencer spheres he'll court. If he does accept any, this will turn into a snowball effect, with more fans finding him and more creators clamoring for his attention.
In the real world, support will be quieter. Fans will start creating and wearing their own merch, focusing on symbols from Loki's work. He can monetize this, of course, and start selling his own official merch, and it will soon become clear that some of his fans are using these pieces (pins, t-shirts, etc.) as a sort of secretive way of displaying their political beliefs, both against the corporations and siding with the Cardinals/Displaced against the UN's smear campaign. Think how the mockingjay pin/Hunger Games hand symbol was used in protests in our world. For the most part, most of the activism side of his fandom will take place within already established social justice groups, but Loki could absolutely take more of a hands on approach and create his own "official" one.
