Not if you want leftists to think they’re labels that leftists came up with.
Maybe I’m paranoid. If it wasn’t for OP’s post history I’d be accusing, but as it is I’m just wanting people to consider who benefits from this kind of terminology being created.
I’m not sure I fully understand what you’re talking about. If the goal is to generate another thought terminating cliche to dismiss anyone who isn’t frothing at the mouth with hatred for China, this is probably the worst place on the internet to do it. Any liberal “leftist” instance would be far, far better for this sort of thing.
Unless you’re not accusing OP of being a fed, but just stating that making this kind of terminology up isn’t the best idea, which yeah, it really isn’t, but thought terminating cliches will continue to exist regardless of where they initially came from.
“China campists” in one thread
“Beijingcap/Beijingfash” in this one
Trying to introduce language to conceptually ‘other’ China: cui bono?
Seems like a strange place to try and workshop those sorts of terms though. Surely any liberal forum would be much better?
