This. Jreg is what happens when you’re far too
enlightenedcowardly to commit to a political platform and program. Doing that might mean you make a mistake every now and then. But if it’s all JuST a JoKe BRo, then any mistake or incoherence is just “part of the performance.”Jreg is a comedian who satirizes various different ideologies. He’s not a political commentator or a serious educational channel, so saying he’s too cowardly to commit to a political platform seems like a non-sequitur.
Meaningless? How is satire of various different ideologies, satire regarding current events, and so forth meaningless?
the only subversive thing to be cool funny or edgy is to not have one
At 400k subscribers he posted a short video saying his political ideology, which if I’m remembering right was a form of Social Democracy.

So he’s a liberal who enjoys socialism in so far as its sufficiently abstracted from anything meaningful, has been de-fanged and de-clawed, and properly domesticated, taught to heel at the bourgeoisie’s feet.
basically “enlightened centrism”
What about the parts referring to China as a form of ruthless State Capitalism?
Ruthless State Capitalists don’t abolish poverty. Communist theory tells us that there are inescapable contradictions within capitalism. Look around you and see those contradictions in practice. If China was a ruthless state capitalist society they would have to deal with the same contradictions afflicting the west. Over the last year China has had its own 2008 moment. How did it deal with it? Did it protect the capitalists? The government told them to meet their commitments if it cost them their heads. Are you suggesting there can be ruthless state capitalism without ruthless capitalists? Or that ruthless state capitalism would be able to effectively manage the welfare of the people instead of enriching the capitalist class at the degradation of society, a condition of capitalism clearly examined by Marx in Capital.
If China was ruthlessly state capitalist nobody would have a negative word to say about it in the west. It wouldn’t be the unstoppable spektor it is.
China has already raised itself to the next stage of civilization. It exhibits the signs of its elevated stage.
Seriously stop and examine this: there is no way to escape the inherent contradictions within capitalism except through elevating beyond the boundaries of capitalism.
from watching the video it’s a confusing mess. From watching a few of his more recent videos for context, he’s a confusing mess.
He’s saying he supports Hong Kong color revolution. He’s arguing the same tired line of disingenuously acknowledging the lack of innocence among the Western powers to further insist China is the greater evil.
He does it in a manner that admittedly would be funny among the many whites cheering for Hong Kong to be returned to the colonial rule of the British.
What do you expect people to think about it here? Its more of the same liberalism. As a whole we don’t believe China is the great Satan. We didn’t support the color operation in Hong Kong.
He’s committed liberal garbage there to appeal to his CIA branded woke liberal audience.
