    The CPC now considers the Cultural Revolution to be its worst mistake by far, and one of the severest tragedies in Chinese history (§19ff.). Millions of innocents perished through brutal and indiscriminate vigilantism, thousands of China’s most brilliant intellectuals were wantonly accused and murdered, and it would take decades until people of similar caliber could heal the academic wounds struck by these senseless massacres. And now along comes this clown and complains about working as a cinema usher, to this day one of the cosiest and most stimulating jobs a person can have. I will never comprehend the liberal brain

      I plan on doing some in depth reading about the cultural revolution. I can’t imagine living through that. Humanity has had lots of senseless killings.
