This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Who is this guy? Someone else mentioned Man Carrying Thing, but that’s a skit channel, and not in China like another person said.

Jiang Xueqin, aka Professor Jiang or 'China's Nostradamus', because he makes informed predictions. He has a youtube channel called Predictive History that is portrayed like a 101-level lecture about various geopolitical things, but it's for the cameras with off-camera "students" asking things now and then. He has some good takes and some bad, and people like to praise him for being really intelligent or shit on him for being a Chinese media op, neither of which are definitively true.

Not actually a professor but an English literature major, I believe.

"Informed predictions" my ass lmao. He states the most obvious shit about geopolitics and then goes off on a creationist/pseudoscientist tangent.

"In order to not receive damage, try not to get hit."

"WOOOOOOAAH!! SUCH AMAZING, SUCH GENIUS!!!"

Don't forget the part where he has stated openly (last chapter) that the 'source' for the things he says is not anything he has read or learned, but 'the universe communicating with him,' or 'a voice from on high.'

yeah i suppose i was phrasing things a little generously, but you seem like you know a lot more about him than myself. appreciate the clarification.

[–] jaycifer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Interesting, this is the first I’ve heard of him or the channel. Thanks!

Its hit normie circles and he has takes that some might consider anti-Semitic which is most of the reason he is so popular/controversial right now.

[–] jaycifer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It sounds like if I watch any of his videos it will need to be with a critical mind and an eye toward further paths of research from other sources.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah, the information is broad and entertaining and a place to find concepts to research further, but beyond that you kind of need to take everything with a truckload of salt. Although that's everything nowadays, everything has an agenda, probably always has.
