This person's videos are too philosophical and navel-gazey for me. In one vid, the claim was basically that Marxists are wrong to want to change society because people are too dumb and lazy and don't want politics. Like??? Just unironic belief that the "spectacle" is actually what is true and trying to make the world a better place is the same as capitalism.
At first it was change is impossible but by the end it turned into even wanting change itself is wrong and the only thing we should do is remain at the level of the aesthetic and judge things based on how interesting they are.

It felt like these philosophers have spent too much time reading books and living in the first world. There needs to be a cultural revolution but only for philosophers - send them to the mines and factories and see if they still say change is impossible and unwanted.
That video was about Baudrillard, and I think people made those same complaints about Baudrillard. I don't know much about philosophy and think of the channel as more educational than activist. I think these contemplations of social stagnation and regression are interesting.

"The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point is to change it."
