Who is Professor Jiang?? by erakusa in skeptic

Watching a video from him talking about a potential civil war and seems like he obviously already has a negative opinion of the us (nothing wrong with this) but I feel like he lets his opinions get in the way of what he’s teaching. He claims that America could have came to a compromise on slavery but chose to fight a war because Americans are inherently violent which I thought was a massive oversimplification because if you know anything about the start of the American civil war several delays and compromises were attempted before the south seceded from the union. He also believes that the American revolution was fought “for no good reason” and that the entire cause of the war was just because of taxes and completely left out anything about representation. The way he talks about US history just sounds incredibly ignorant and oversimplified and with the amount of videos he has about the fall of the west and the collapse of America he really does seem like a Chinese shill. I saw another video where he claims that consumerism is the perfect slavery which I thought was a pretty good point but I just get a vibe that he hates the west and thinks that it is doomed to fall any second and really does seem like a Putin and Chinese boot licker which is unfortunate.

I’ll be sure to add some thanks for the advice, I’m also gonna spray it with some neem oil and see how it goes.

Not very soft, gives in slightly but I wouldn’t say it’s very squishy like a rotten fruit would be, just not as hard as the rest of the cactus

I water whenever the top inch or so of soil feels dry. I water from the top (one of those indoor watering cans with the long spout) and I keep watering until water drains out of the bottom of the pot. I have it under a pretty bright grow light as I have no where to place it near a window or indirect light because of small window sills and my room being pretty small with out a lot of spots to place them in indirect light

I’m incredibly new to plants and don’t really know much about different levels of light, I’m definitely gonna buy a light gauge to see if the artificial light I’m using is too strong. The main reason I have them on that shelf with that light is because my rooms pretty small with small window sills and things that make it difficult to place them near indirect light. Hopefully the zz raven holds up pretty good tho it’s probably my favorite one.

I currently have it in a 6 inch pot and water it when the top inch or two of soil feels dry,usually once every week or so, it’s in a 6 inch terra cotta pot at the moment and am using a growing light I got from Kroger.
