https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baizuo

(Chinese: , literally "White left(ies)") is a derogatory Chinese epithet that came into being in the middle 10s of the 21st century. The word received attention in Germany where it was seen as criticizing the immigration policies of Angela Merkel. According to the Chinese news site Guancha Syndicate, the word is an example of "Chinese values" exported to Western countries.

The word baizuo is, according to political scientist Zhang Chenchen, a Chinese word that ridicules Western "liberal elites". He further defined the word "baizuo" with the definition "People who only care about topics such as immigration, minorities, LGBT and the environment"

"only care about" =/= actively or vocally concerned about particular issues that hit close to home

Kind of like how Christian business owners 'only' care about their right to refuse service to gay customers, or something that would seem equally trivial to a person not impacted by such a specific set a circumstances.

People tend to focus on the issues that hit closest to home or impact them on a personal level. There's nothing new about this, and it's certainly not limited to Americans. Just because the average American household doesn't typically debate subjects like the independence of Taiwan doesn't mean they couldn't care less, or that they even lack any awareness of these issues.

tl;dr - TC's link is just fodder for insane troll logic

Why did you completely avoid my answer about how it's rational for me to not own a house at this point, and that my parents and grandparents own property and have eaten avocado toast their entire lives?

i thought you knew i was just meme-ing you

haven't you seen the article about the australian dude blaming avocado toast on why they don't own homes
