The Chinese know that “woke” white liberals are destroying America, and they’re laughing — and licking their chops. They even have a name for such people: Baizuo. Beijing has their number, too.
Just consider Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s reporting on the topic Friday evening. Baizuo’s “rough translation from Mandarin is ‘White liberal,’ and it is definitely not a compliment,” the commentator stated.
“Chinese state media describes baizuo as people who, ‘only care about topics such as immigration, minorities, LGBT and the environment, who have no sense of real problems in the real world, who only advocate for peace and equality to satisfy their own feelings of moral superiority, and who are so obsessed with political correctness that they tolerate backward Islamic values for the sake of multiculturalism,’” Carlson continued.
Yikes. Looks like the Left should want to cancel the Chinese. Except that Joe Biden and the other Manchurian candidates get too many bucks from Beijing — and that the Chinese are in the process of cancelling us.
Not all baizuo are white, do note. The Chinese make not only this clear, but also that they know the Western Left better than it knows itself. Just consider, Carlson further stated, that as
Chinese state media notes, “former US [sic] President Obama was considered an advocate of baizuo ideology.”
So is “German Chancellor Angela Merkel and her decision to welcome more than one million third-world [sic] immigrants to Europe.”
Other observations about baizuo, as reported by Chinese state media, include the fact that they “advocate inclusiveness and anti-discrimination but cannot tolerate different opinions.” Baizuo’s political opinions are “so shallow that they tend to maintain social equality by embracing ideologies that run against the basic concept of equality” [e.g., “equity].
According to one scholar from Peking University, “baizuo are phony and hypocritical and will make the situation in the West go from bad to worse.” And so on .
So the Chinese certainly recognize that so-called leftism — which is actually best understood as movement toward moral disorder — is the West’s Achilles heel. Beijing knows that, far more devastating than COVID-19, is what in essence is a virus in America’s software.
This virus is crashing the system, too. The Chinese are absolutely correct when saying our leftists “have no sense of real problems in the real world.” Consider: Beijing is focused on obtaining the cheap energy necessary to power a dominant economy; meanwhile, our pseudo-elites are focused on civilization-rending green energy schemes and global warming, which the Chinese only pay lip service to so as to maneuver us into destroying ourselves.
Our sexual devolutionaries are focused on feminizing boys, telling them they can be girls and ensuring they can use the opposite sex’s restrooms; the Chinese are instituting a program to enhance their adolescent males’ masculinity. Our leftists are forging a “woke” military that can provide a place for MUSS (Made-up Sexual Status) individuals and “opportunities” for women; Beijing is seeking a military that can put ours to sleep, perhaps permanently. The list goes on and on.
So the “eye altering alters all,” wrote poet William Blake, and the West is suffering the consequences of what’s another good definition of leftism: dislocation from reality.
Not perceiving reality clearly means not knowing what your strengths and weaknesses are and can lead to attacks on those strengths and the “enhancing” of those weaknesses. It means mistaking positive points for problems and trying to fix what isn’t broken — and, consequently, breaking it — as your actual brokenness remains unaddressed.
It’s analogous to a person with anorexia nervosa. While he needs more calories, his skewed perception tells him he’s ever too fat, so he starves a starving body all the more. Our Left, having long ago left sanity, mistakes virtue for vice and starves a morally malnourished land all the more.
But as Ayn Rand put it, “We can ignore reality, but we cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.” If the Left isn’t neutered and we don’t MAGA by MAMA — Making America Moral Again — we’ll lose this battle of civilizations with China. And if we ever end up under Beijing’s thumb, its already expressed opinion of baizuo indicates that you leftists may be treated worst of all.
The Chinese (and others) are using you, baizuo, but they definitely will not respect you in the morning.
