RadixJournal - The Question of Professor Jiang

In this episode of Conspiracy Theories, the guys discuss conspiracy theories and theories about the Khazars. They discuss whether or not they are real or not, and whether they are part of some grand conspiracy theory, like the theory that the Jews are the real Jews, and that the Sephardis are actually Khazar's.

00:00:00.000 Yeah, I just wanted to ask to bring the conversation back to the Khazar theory discussion we're having, and specifically to Professor Zhang.

00:00:12.000 Ever since he's been on this show, I've been interacting with a bit of his content, and I saw in one of his posts a couple months ago, I think it was called The End is Near, like End Pax Judaica, something to this effect,

00:00:26.460 that he was espousing Khazar theory as, you know, like the Mizrahim and the Sephardis are the real Jews, and these Ashkenazis are actually Khazars.

00:00:38.340 And I was wondering to what degree you think some people who are like maybe nominally leftists do this as a way of like avoiding censorship and avoiding claims of anti-Semitism, if that's...

00:00:51.300 Yeah, totally. I think I mentioned that when I was talking about it. It is a convenient theory.

00:00:56.460 Do you think that's what he's doing?

00:00:58.720 I... We should have Professor Zhang back on, because I... And I want to watch more of his content, you know, before we do.

00:01:08.080 I enjoyed talking with him. He's a very nice man.

00:01:12.380 That was a good conversation.

00:01:12.980 Yes. And he showed respect, and we showed respect back.

00:01:17.020 Now, is he an agent of the Chinese government and bent on spreading subversion, demoralization, and madness? Possibly. 0.95

00:01:26.480 He also might possibly be a unknowing agent where he's sort of being boosted by the algorithm.

00:01:33.600 I would just put it this way.

00:01:35.040 He's... He's in a high school in China, and he's giving these lectures, and these lectures are in English.

00:01:41.080 So, even if there is a plausible explanation for why he's doing that, it's very convenient that this is for foreign consumption, basically.

00:01:52.200 He's not talking to his students in Chinese... In Mandarin, that is.

00:01:56.100 Right. It's clearly for export.

00:01:57.500 I think you just have to take those things into account. He's been praising Dugan.

00:02:01.720 The other thing is, when he came on, I at least got the impression that he was one of, like, an Adam Green or Mark Brahman or Richard Spencer type

00:02:14.020 who believes that there's a kind of blueprint that you can find in holy books, and that there are conscious actors bringing this blueprint into the world.

00:02:26.560 Now, he's said other things that lead me to believe that he is more on the line of Donnie, that he thinks that the scripture is telling you what's going to happen.

00:02:37.140 Is he playing it sort of both ways?

00:02:39.120 When he starts talking about secret societies as well, I think my... I've just heard this.

00:02:44.660 So, is it maybe... Is Jang... Does he have this big smorgasbord of, like, intranet memes, and he's, like, arranged all the different cheeses and salamis and berries

00:02:57.100 into this, you know, wonderful plate of crudité or whatever? I don't know. Not a crudité. What's the other one?

00:03:04.900 Charcuterie.

00:03:06.040 Charcuterie. Yes, exactly. He's just put it all together.

00:03:09.100 I don't know. I don't know my answer on this. Because he's such a nice guy, I almost have this tendency to give him the benefit of the doubt

00:03:18.280 and not just jump on him. Like, when Dugan is engaging in all this nonsense and just, like, actively promoting silliness,

00:03:27.140 I'm just like, fuck off. But Jang, I don't know. I have a soft spot for Jang. But this is my assessment at the moment. 1.00

00:03:35.160 But I guess I would pose the question to Donnie as well. Do you think some of the people who do

00:03:40.320 promote Khazar theory do it as a way of just, like, avoiding a claim of anti-Semitism?

00:03:47.160 I think that's some light.

00:03:48.660 Because, as you were saying, it is, like, kind of anti-white. Like, you can just say that white people 0.64

00:03:53.160 are, like, imperialist bastards and, like, nobody's going to boo-hoo you for doing so. 1.00

00:04:00.540 In the same way, you could talk about how the whites took over the Americas. Well, you could say, 1.00

00:04:06.140 oh, well, you know, it's really the whites that are committing genocide in Gaza or whatever it is. 0.83

00:04:11.820 Yeah, I think that's definitely, I think that some people may definitely do that. I think that, 0.53

00:04:15.440 I think that, for the most part, a lot of people, like, actually probably really believe that.

00:04:20.120 Like, I think that people tend to, people tend to gravitate towards a lot of the conspiratorial stuff.

00:04:25.740 You know, I just think it just, it just appeals human nature, right? Like, we always want there

00:04:31.400 to be some, some grand conspiracy rather than, like, the, the brutal reality. Like, we saw with

00:04:37.560 Charlie Kirk, right? Like, you know, nobody wants to admit that a titan like Charlie Kirk, you know,

00:04:42.980 was killed by some random kid, you know, who grabbed his dad's or his grandpa's gun or whatever.

00:04:48.380 Like, you know, we want, we want it to be this big conspiracy because it makes us feel better.

00:04:52.960 Or, you know what I mean? But yeah, but yeah, there's probably some of that though.

00:04:58.040 Did you ever meet Erica Kirk? Thank you.

00:05:00.140 I never met Erica. I knew Charlie pre-Erica. Yeah, I knew Charlie pre-Erica.

00:05:06.880 So I never got to, yeah.

00:05:08.800 Interesting.
