The Deprogram

i think the algo reacts better if you report the video as hateful or abusive. i dont really get channels recommended to me after i've done that.

He's a Neo-nazi and Holocaust denier, he unironically believes in the Judeo-bolsheivik conspiracy theory. When he says "Wall Street" he means Jews.

All those talk shows fit the descriptions of CIA ops to scramble people who gravitate towards different ideologies or interests while uniting them on key premises. Haiphong's Telegram mods have long banned people who argue with their pet fascists.

He's one giant confirmation bias crossed with a scam artist. He picks the minority side on the most controversial topics and makes up a bunch of sophistries to support it. So if you are looking for someone you want to agree with, you stumble on this guy. He knows how to pace his insanity to make it sound convincing. He'll start off grounded and sounding like a normal academic, and as time goes by he'll start getting more and more into the bullshit. But he worked on your defenses early on, and so now you just find yourself keep agreeing with him.

I've sat through one of his interviews recently, out of curiosity mostly. It was an incredible ride to say the least:

• Started with how the US is getting beat by Iran

• Went on to talk about corruption in US politics

• Talked about AI being used as a tool to accelerate global warming and control the population/gather data.

• Predicted that in 5 years everyone will die as we run out of food since everybody works on AI jobs instead of farming.

• Started saying how Epstein was just a member of a larger cabal of cultists intend on bringing the end of the world because that will make them profits

• Talked about Zionist and Christian eschatology and how the rich and powerful are all in a cult, taking part in satanic rituals and corruption to create a sense of community among themselves

• We are not going to die after all, because people will rise up in revolt and countries will either turn into theocracies, or fascist ethnostates, or ultranationalist peace lovers. Somehow this will save the world because it's the only way to care about humanity and make enough food.

I mean tbf many of us communists rely WAY too much on the notion that all human beings are currently capable of rational critical thought -- nah you gotta actually put effort into that and anti-intellectualism is currently winning. Unless you work as an educator you likely aren't aware just how low functioning western countries actually are.

Frankly, a great approach we can take is learning the techniques of special educators to make education approachable for as many as possible by meeting people where they are at.

He is on every radlib/SocDem media outlet nowadays.

He's also a believer in the conspiracy that Bolsheviks were actually paid by Wall Street to overthrow the Tzar.

I checked out his Wikipedia page. It’s a rabbit hole.

In his Foundation series, Isaac Asimov proposed that the science of "psycho-history" will help humanity understand its past, predict its future, and control its present. This channel is dedicated to exploring if "psycho-history" is indeed possible.

My brother in Marx, what do you think inspired Asimov but the immortal science to craft his Foundation universe and psycho-history?

He literally cites 'Sapiens' as an anthropological reference. 🙏😭

And half of his slides are literally screenshots of ChatGPT answers.

The source of both those claims is an off hand comment by someone claiming to be his friend. The police never released a statement regarding his deportation when asked by the Canadian consul, never filed charges, and allowed him to return to China without restrictions 5 months after he was deported. He still lives and teaches in China too.

Guy’s still an anti-communist wack job though, a sandwich could give more coherent takes.
