Isn't Baizuo also used by people against affirmative action and LGBT rights ( I get the US has these problems too)? Like it basically means SJW from what I understand. On the other hand, what proportion of the population in China are oriented towards Marxism anyways? I know up until Xi came along there were committed neolibs in the CCP and Chinese Academia.

Generally only Chinese inside mainland use the word "Baizuo", Chinese American even those anti-AA republican-voting Chinese American don't tend to use the word. I don't know why it is. But I can tell you netizen lingo inside China evolve a hell lot faster than Chinese diaspora. I wouldn't be surprised if Chinese netizens move on to use a different slang next year. edit: you know the thing about the wumao/50 cent name calling, its perfectly good word to describe a segment. I am pretty anonnied that no Chinese netizen use it anymore. They use "little pink" (because pink in Chinese is "fen"+"red" so its like "red fan" but obvious with a derogatory slant. ) I hate this word, but people are using it, nobody use wumao anymore. The anti-CCP netizens call themselves "rebels", excuse me? You don't get to choose a cool word for yourselves! stephenthinkpad has issued a correction as of 17:33 on Apr 25, 2021 |

quote:The navy previously said it believes the submarine sank to a depth of 600-700 meters (2,000-2,300 feet), much deeper than its collapse depth of 200 meters (655 feet), at which point water pressure would be greater than the hull could withstand.

Ah yes, this obscure far-right party and the Myanmar movement are linked because of... reasons. This is an inch away from 9/11 conspiracy nonsense, where the CIA just leaves clues out in the open for these nutters to find.

Esha is cool because she interviews cool people alot. The woman herself is frequently rather dumb, although on a few subjects she has encyclopedic knowledge. Also a devout and un-"ironic" stalinist which is funny.
