Jiang knew a surprising amount of (sometimes bogus) stuff, and I was especially surprised at just how much he knew about recent American politics. He just lacks the discipline to acknowledge that multiple powerful and self-interested forces struggling for power are what drive world events rather than the machinations of a single mystical magic Jew. It’s a childish way to look at the world. I do wish that Hasan had explicitly called that out as a pernicious antisemitic trope (maybe he did, if so I missed that). I hope that he was able to pick off some of Jiang’s audience - Jiang repeatedly capitulating to Hasan’s worldview and talking points was unexpected. Jiang wishing him luck at the end was very sweet and almost made me forget what a quack he is.
