This Chinese prof is spilling all the tea

Yes, Youtube is blocked.

But the Chinese government goes after VPNs that help people access YT and other sites, not everyday citizens. Also the Chinese government themselves operate their own Youtube channels (for example, CCCTV).

Also if the NYT and CNBC articles are true, which I'm sure they are, it doesn't prove Jiang is one of those propagandists. That's just guilt by association, and right now there isn't any evidence to support that.

Everything?

I agree he emphasizes secret societies, but he also brings up eschatology (good for explaining conflicts in the blue/red middle east over the last 70 years).

Also the stages of empire model (200 year cycle).

Among other things.

Can you show examples of people misusing with his ideas? I haven't seen any yet.

I haven’t watched all his videos so I may be exaggerating his macro perspectives but from the few I watched where he was interviewed his reasoning culminated in the strings being pulled by secret societies. 

I don’t have exact examples. I just know he did an interview with Sneako and his shorts are popular on the algorithm that feeds that sort of click baity conspiracy driven content Gen Z/alpha guys consume. So I am able to reasonably assume a lot of tards run with his ideas. It’s not like what we are discussing is a well thought out book by him on geopolitics that takes time to write, read and publish and which is peer reviewed and is academically scrutinized. The bar of entry is very low to learn from him. Don’t get me wrong I think his reasoning is pretty solid but it’s tainted some by social media and his lack of consciousness work. He’s the type to veer off into dark awakening and nihilism.

Yeah I'm also kinda sceptical. I've heard people say he might right-wing-anti-israel.

He has an interview with sneako that's a huge red flag.

He is definitely anti Zionist which I like. He just gets clipped and spread around the political side of the “manosphere” so obviously a lot of tards and political scientists from joe rogan university run with him but he isn’t right wing like how westerners understand it. I do think he has academic integrity. He’s a Chinese citizen.

spreading narratives that undermine the interests of the west and encourage more internal conflict

It almost sounds like you are in line with the interests of the west? Are you aware that capitalism kills millions of innocent people? Are you aware that the west is the enemy?

Non-conflict is really bad since it strengthens the status quo. However the only valid political conflict is the class struggle, any other political conflict exists to benefit the rich and distract from the class struggle.

China Uses YouTube Influencers to Spread Propaganda

I'm glad to hear that! I think it's tragic that China does not have more soft power, but I understand their reasons.

Lol, yes general Mao.

South Korea is way too image-focused, conformist, and frankly just lost in capitalism and materialism. If capitalism had a Mariana's trench, you'd probably find Korea down there.

China pays well for the work I do and is objectively trending up relative to the USA in terms of everything. Plus China has fucking Tibet and Inner Mongolia (places I've been salivating at the thought of visiting for some time now).

Hangzhou, Xiamen, and Kunming are my top cities right now.

@WonderSeeker Hahahahaha damn congrats dude!

@Scholar He has some insightful ideas. But also some weird, oversimplified narratives.

He's a mixed bag.

You need to be good at filtering signal from noise. If you can do that, then there's value in him.

Right but in practice this is just disinformation. You can just listen to reputable sources that will have insightful ideas with 98% less bullshit. The most dangerous liars are those who mix 90% of truth with 10% of bullshit.

 

If you can discern the bullshit from the non-bullshit, you probably don't have to listen to anything he has to say anyways. The danger is that people who are less epistemically careful get swept up mostly by the bullshit. People don't listen to him for the insightful ideas, they listen to him because of his oversimplified, emotional narratives that confirm their biases.

I got some useful insights from him.

Good insights aren't so easy to come by, especially in the political domain. Most political discussion is pure crap.

What are the reputable sources in your opinion?

If you can name them I'll give them a listen.

@Leo Gura For politics, is your epistemic knowledge acquisition strategy watching several sources and sifting for gold nuggests? Or do you know some generally good people to listen to?

I'm not loyal to anyone, I just want truthful sources that present the material well. Admittedly I watch a lot of left-wing shows like TYT and Breaking Points. I think they're better than most, but are still limited to the green lens.

It's mostly to read books and to not consume partisan or ideological sources.

Study political science more than political news.

There seems to be a huge backlash on him on YouTube right now. Probably rightfully.

He's the next Jordan Peterson in a sense. Also a lot of his talking points just appeal to people's pre-held beliefs.

[Elliott]

He's full of it

He’s engaging because he has multi domain knowledge and strings things together very well - which is new for a lot of people.

But he then makes some simplistic takes and overreaches in places too - specifically the notion of secret societies acting towards creating a Pax Judaica empire and subsuming the American empire - Middle East bases as its own.

A highly influential semi-dependant node / forward base (Israel) in a wider imperial system (US) - can’t itself become an empire.

A nation of 10 million on a small strip of land, which is itself divided and has its own issues with the Palestinians it occupies, next to a power like Turkey, next to a gulf region increasingly angered / suspicious of it, trying to dominate Iran as we speak which seems to be failing -  doesn’t have the scale or fundamentals to be a empire.

Half truths are a bitch and overweighting one logic (eschatological) as bound to win is overreach.
