That’s interesting how great and simple everything will be.
I guess it must have to do with the mindset of a 70-year old man with blond-colored hair and a Slovenian supermodel.
Will pray for you America.
Looks like you changed your name from Emery (in the last section) to John. There can’t be two of you. You need to pray a lot more for your country, if people there are anything like you.
The White Left
The term ‘white left’ first emerged about two years ago, and yet has quickly become one of the most popular derogatory descriptions for Chinese netizens to discredit their opponents in online debates.
So what does ‘white left’ mean in the Chinese context?
The question has received more than 400 answers from Zhihu users, which include some of the most representative perceptions of the ‘white left’. Although the emphasis varies, baizuo is used generally to describe those who “only care about topics such as immigration, minorities, LGBT and the environment” and “have no sense of real problems in the real world”; they are hypocritical humanitarians who advocate for peace and equality only to “satisfy their own feeling of moral superiority”; they are “obsessed with political correctness” to the extent that they “tolerate backwards Islamic values for the sake of multiculturalism”; they believe in the welfare state that “benefits only the idle and the free riders”; they are the “ignorant and arrogant westerners” who “pity the rest of the world and think they are saviours”.
I knew I liked the Chinese.
