>mix run-of-the-mill milquetoast Scandi social democracy talk (that DSA types love) with some Mearsheimer realpolitk crib notes and critique of post-Deng China is how you get 400K+ views on a political philosophy lecture video

Who knew?

I got more views than him on a jerma stream edit I made 5 years ago

>what? you're enjoying things? you should feel bad!
a grift as old as christianity

>>24523582
im not enjoying capitalism. its just socialism is worse because of subhumans. literally what is enjoyable about buying made-in-china clothes from anti-white companies or whatever you do unless you're very young or impressionable

>>24523582
Hedonist, materialist, soilennial. Not smart enough to actually engage, despite 30000 hours of polsci stamped onto his shriveled brain.

I find it hilarious how none of his predictions about the Israel-Iran war came true, yet he calls his channel Predictive History. Reminds me of Mearsheimer in that regard.

>>24523548 (OP)
I discovered this guy the other week and was skeptical.

>>24524373
Lmfao he predicted donald trump would be elected, he predicted JD vance vp, he predicted Trump would attack iran, and you retards think it's over now iran has every excuse to build nukes which they will start doing very soon and this will cause the US to intervene even more

It says more about the pitiful state of your life that you know and post abou this literally who random chink.

I like him a lot. His classes are interesting and I think the hate is mostly just jealousy. Obviously his lectures aren't the most detailed highbrow thing in the world but he's teaching highschoolers and his classes are way more engaging and interesting than even a lot of uni courses. Literally don't understand the hate for this man.

>>24523548 (OP)
Can anyone here refute what hes saying in that vid?

>>24524422
Can anyone refute that the sun rises everyday at dawn. Wow how prescient

>has phd from yale, becomes a highschool teacher in china because of passion
>has passion for the great works of western philosophy and literature
>doesn't seek monetary gain, even after channel blew up still intends to continue teaching
>highschool lectures more engaging, thought provoking and high level than most university courses
>has a theory of predictive history and wants to build an AI based on this to be able to predict the future (long term project which according to him will take 100 years and so will give him no monetary gain)
>wants to start 21st century version of Plato's academy that will train the next generation of geniuses in the Liberal arts
>/lit/ still finds a way to hate him

>>24524441
all this is the epitome of chinese cringe and lack of self awareness

You are a waste of your moms egf

You're not superior to him, it's cringe lol

>>24524441
This site has a visceral hatred for China men, makes any rational or reasonable discussion of china/Chinese geopolitics impossible

>>24524476
I dont measure my life against some old chink on youtube.

>stop buying shit!
No, I like buying shit. Everyone does. I'm not going to work for the betterment of mankind. Most jobs don't provide that kind of satisfaction. Communism is predicated on seeing the worker as equal. When everyone knows some jobs are inherently more enjoyable than others. That is why everyone wants to run the community garden after the revolution while they guy who replaces your septic tank is nowhere to be found. Under capitalism the worker is entitled to do whatever they want to with their money this freedom can be exploited into things you don't "need" but I don't want to explain to an official why I want or need certain things. If I want to collect overpriced anime figurines that is my choice not yours.

Nigga. You gon pay rent either way. You gon pay those bills anyway. A large portion of your money is allocated anyway just to live. So no you don't have freedom with goybucks. Just because you bought that big titty anime waifu fleshdoll with your last goybucks doesn't mean shit.

only poor people worship having money i was born rich and everythings empty, desolate, superficial.

>>24524441
>>>has phd from yale
worthless since around the 1970s
>>>becomes a highschool teacher in china because of passion
yeah sure "passion" lol
>>>doesn't seek monetary gain
youtube doesnt make that much money unless he sells a course
>>>has a theory of predictive history and wants to build an AI based on this to be able to predict the future
lol cringe and retarded

>>24525393
(you) cant buy anything of value. I guarantee I'm richer than you and everything I bought has just turned into "junk" few months later. This is not about buying shit

>>24525393
>>I want to collect overpriced anime figurines
you are a bugman and you have no value

>>24524394
Honestly though, what should westerners care what the Earth will be like a century or a millennium from now on? If people of european origin will go the way of the dodo in a couple generations, and everything seems to point in that direction, then the future state of the Earth will not be their problem but someone else's. Unless you're one of those foolish cucks who unironically claim to feel a kinship with all of mankind.

>>24525393
Marx and Engels were both in favor of (over)consumption. In the Peasant War Engels is disappointed at socialists for being ascetics.

This is a given. There is no society where you are free from work. Communism doesn't magically liberate me from my job it just gives me my home and necessities outright instead of the money to buy it.

>>24525521
You can buy experiences. Travel, good food, fun with friends, art all these things cost money and I'm happy to spend it. Not everything I "consume" is made of plastic.

>>24525523
Actually my value is equal to the amount of figurines I can sell on ebay.

>>24525546
I agree with them on that. Money is buying things and people "saving" money always seem tortured compared to the paycheck to paycheck klarna bum. Everyone in this thread is free to live as a stoic, zen buddhist, or communist as for me I'll be buying more figurines and I'll wait for the government to bail me out. The government loves me and will take care of me because I'm participating in capitalism while the poor saps in this thread will be punished.

>>24525517
>lol cringe and retarded
Literally why is it cringe and retarded? If history follows laws and if you can discern those laws and train an AI to predict the future based on it why is that bad? It's an interesting idea for sure and it certainly is not "run of the mill" or average like OP is claiming.
