He presents the 1848 revolutions as uprisings across Europe in which bourgeoisie, middle class, and workers demanded democracy, liberalism, socialism, and limits on religious power.
Jiang explicitly calls communism a psyop used by the elite and nobility to make democracy, socialism, and liberalism illegitimate.
The Young Turks are framed as carriers of secularism, liberalism, and individualism, which Jiang names as the basic ideas of modernity.
British empiricism, skepticism, utilitarianism, and liberalism are framed as a philosophical sequence that denies God and truth and replaces them with experience, convention, and utility.

Jiang presents modern ideologies as replacement gods: capitalism makes money into God, Enlightenment liberalism makes reason into God, modernism makes the individual into God, and nationalism makes the nation into God.
