Pretty strong accusations to make of your fellow countrymen/women. I know where I read this political strategy/tactic to call political opponents these names as the ultimate end game strategy.

How did that work out for you?



I know that Trump has done his share of name calling, but republicans/conservatives as a whole does not do this. On the other hand, liberals throw around names and labels such as racist, sexist, homophobe, islamophobe, xenophobe as a core component of their current strategy.


It's not a "strategy". These words accurately describe the Trump voter.

They adopted a phrase "Obama" which means something that looks good, but is actually a zero. It might be used when buying a scratch lottery ticket - when you scratch it off, there's no prize - that's an Obama.


Ouch!


Nope. See, your individual anecdata is not actually a basis for anything--other than showing how racist your employer is. If it's even true--which given the fondness Trump and his supporters have for LYING, I doubt this stupid story is even true.

No, for the liberals in this country of Cuba


By the very definition liberals dislike dictatorships. Unlike the current president who admires strongmen autocrats.


What do you posit is the political leaning of those wearing Che Guevara shirts? Who has been pointing to Venezuela as the shining example of what Socialism could be?


No one is pointing to Venezuela as the shining example of anything, ever

If you can read Chinese:
https://www.zhihu.com/question/51331837


It might not be an easy task to define the term, for as a social media buzzword and very often an instrument for ad hominem attack, it could mean different things for different people. A thread on “why well-educated elites in the west are seen as naïve “white left” in China” on Zhihu, a question-and-answer website said to have a high percentage of active users who are professionals and intellectuals, might serve as a starting point.

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”.

It's basically a term the Chinese use to trash people online.




Oh OP, this makes me wanna cry in my snowflake cereal.

Not.


Best reply of the thread.

The Chinese also think Trump is a joke, does that count too?

Oh really? What's your estimate of the percentage of liberals do you think regularly ride around in limos drinking champagne, that you truly think this is such a "thing?"

(Trying to understand this parallel universe that you seem to live in....)


It's a figurative name. What's next, you are going to ask how many liberals have hearts that are literally bleeding?

Really?

You have no idea why the Chinese-held debt started to take off, and why it did so under G.W. Bush. You don't even know if the debt is a good or bad thing and how it affects the US. You just know the talking points from your political party tells you it's a bad thing because it happened under G.W.

What next, will someone post an article saying "Uruguayan sorghum farmers think NASA engineers are whiny little bitches and that they will never put anything into space" - except that NASA engineers know a shit load more about putting things into space than Uruguayan sorghum farmers and have in fact been putting things into space, putting humans into space and on the moon and visited every planet in our solar system and the opinion of Uruguayan sorghum farmers on the subject is pretty much something irrelevant, meaningless and that nobody gives a damn about.


Huh? I thought it was the liberal's worldview that we should march towards globalism, in which we care very much about what Uruguayan sorghum farmers think about our NASA engineers.


Why, are we going to start using biodiesel made from Uruguayan sorghum to fuel our rockets? I get that you were making an attempt at humor but humor works best when it actually has some kernel of sense, relevance or truth to it.


You missed the kernel of truth. It is precisely the misplaced priorities and virtue signaling exhibited by the left that result in ridiculous liberal goals akin to placing Uruguayan sorghum farms on equal footing with NASA engineers.

Crooked Kushner and Crooked Trump are selling visas to Chinese. And these two nincompoops are neither liberals nor intellectuals. White trash Republicans and racists properly defines them.

When was the last time there was a liberal march for jobs, the economy, and national security - not as a side issue, but the main issue of the march.


Occupy Wall Street?


Hahaha!


What is so funny? Try to start any protest in China that is not sanctioned by the party, including anti-abortion, you will get crushed by tanks.


Ooow. THE DRAMA MAJOR IS HERE.

I'm not defending the Chinese government nor their treatment of human rights. I'm actually surprised you Liberals haven woken up after 8 years of ignoring issues I most admired you for championing. But, you suck in America and your foreign policy sucks in words, deeds and actions. Get a clue. Since you are sooooo smart....how much of our debt does China own? Hmm?

What did Occupy Wall Street accomplish?

I heard they smoked a lot of weed. I mean it was a grass roots movement after all.


Ah. They were the forebearers to legalizing medical marijuana? Too much?


Yep, an unintended consequence. Law enforcement had to stand down due to the sheer magnitude of toking that was going on, and saw that no one really got hurt from it. The local purveyors of snacks and pizza probably saw a nice sized bump in their revenue, which translates into more taxes paid. On a more sinister side, the politicians saw how docile the protesters were as long as they were left alone with their bongs and bongos.


Great response.
