      Welp there goes the ratio on the new renegade cut video I just posted. Nevermind it got upvoted, glad to see the fickleness of upvoting and downvoting applies to here as it did on reddit.

              It's nothing most people here don't already know but it's really well layed out and not aggressively advocating for revolution or anything just explaining global economics through a Marxist lens with plain enough language for most anyone to understand.

        The issue isn't that he doesn't know enough about Chinese philosophy. Hell, the video isn't even really about philosophy, it's more like history from a guy who's not interested in challenging his audience's perspective on things. It basically focuses on telling Confucius's story and to the degree video guy touches on what the guy actually thought, he immediately addresses all these questions with these boring boilerplate answers you'd expect from a modern "woke" guy brought up in the current society. He doesn't ask any questions that might make the viewer think critically about what's being presented. For example, why is ritual so important? Where does that notion come from fundamentally? He just says he doesn't get it cuz he's modern and leaves it at that, but can he really shrug that off so easily? Shouldn't that kind of thing be exactly the kind of question he should try to answer as a philosopher?
