The Curious Rise Of 'The White Left' As A Chinese Internet Insult

Kinda interesting. The author wants to explain why the PCs should be derided by so many Chinese netizens...but he doesn't even consider what I'd suggest as the most likely explanation: they're wrong, in fact crazy, in fact repulsively so. Of course it's a matter of degree... Even ordinary liberals are inclined to go too far from time to time...but they seem clearly to be thinking about the crazy extremists, i.e. the PC left. I mean, why think that the Klan is crazy if the Klan isn't in your country? Why think that The People's Temple was nuts when they existed elsewhere? Some groups and clusters of ideas are just objectively, grotesquely stupid.
