One thing I found kind of interesting is that apparently this anti PC, anti left trend is a big thing in Xi Jinping's China of all places. They call it baizuo or "white left."

Although the emphasis varies, baizuo is used generally to describe those who “only care about topics such as immigration, minorities, LGBT and the environment” and “have no sense of real problems in the real world”; they are hypocritical humanitarians who advocate for peace and equality only to “satisfy their own feeling of moral superiority”; they are “obsessed with political correctness” to the extent that they “tolerate backwards Islamic values for the sake of multiculturalism”; they believe in the welfare state that “benefits only the idle and the free riders”; they are the “ignorant and arrogant westerners” who “pity the rest of the world and think they are saviours”.
- I'm not sure it's a 'trend' as such. It seems to be reaction to the obvious and poorly considered consequences of identity and equity focused policy.Morning_star
