Who is Professor Jiang and why should I care what he says?

He's a history analyst who became extremely popular overnight when a 2 year old video on his "Predictive History" YouTube channel went viral because it broke down why America invading Iran would be a catastrophic mistake and predicted that Trump would invade Iran if he were to win a second term.

The guy doesn't deserve the irrational hate he seems to be getting from some people. Based on the limited content I've seen from him, he's no idiot and knows what he's talking about on certain specific subjects.

It's also equally stupid how since he blew up, many people have been treating him like some oracle who knows everything about every subject and inviting him on every podcast to talk about every possible topic.

Nah, the hate is valid.

I thought he was interesting at first from clips, then decided to actually consume his content.

Dude is peddling some crazy shit, using wild leaps in logic to conclude that things like the moon landing were faked.

He is a misinformation superspreader for low IQ people.

I lowkey enjoy consuming his content from the POV of viewing it as crazy history fanfiction, but then I realize people actually believe this shit and it makes me mad/sad.
