@gbrl_dick I also think the novel's premise is unbelievably stupid but to be a little fair, the Japanese colonial rule in Taiwan was basically the mildest in the empire. They basically didn't view them as subhuman as the Koreans etc, and they were treated as people who could assimilate.

final boss of dark woke literature is a taiwanese novel about a japanese author who visits taiwan during the notoriously brutal japanese occupation to eat beef noodle soup and seduce her female translator. i'm in awe. not even in the darkest corners of tarantino's mind.

@SecondRingSZN If you change the colonizing country to a European one, this same premise would be unbelievably scorned and met with universal criticism. It's so laughable how much Japan, as a non-Western country, can have its worst history glorified in a really dumb romance novel

@Cait_Sith_co The Japanese government simply has yet to acknowledge the atrocities it did, and it needs to apologize so everyone can just move on. However, the Mainland communists have changed the narrative to be an excuse to release their anger at Japanese people instead of at their govt.

中国政府の日本に対する敵意は、もともと歴史のせいでも、領土のせいでもありません。歴史や領土の恨みの物語は、ただ一般市民に聞かせるための理由に過ぎません。
本当の理由は、日本に民主制度が存在するというその事実そのものです。
中国語を話す地域が自分たちでリーダーを選べること——これは台湾と呼ばれます。
儒教文化の背景を持つ国家が成熟した民主法治を築けること——これは日本と呼ばれます。
この二つの地域で最も危険なものは、軍隊ではなく、制度そのものです。なぜなら、それらの存在が、長年広まってきた一つの嘘——“中国人は民主主義に向かない”——を暴くからです。
だから一般市民にそれらを憎ませなければなりません。歴史を使い、領土を使い、民族感情を使って。市民に永遠に傷と恨みに注目させ、傷の向こう側で人々がどのように平等な生活をしているのかを見ることができないようにするのです。
しかし、同じ専制国家である北朝鮮には敵意はありません。同じく腐敗したミャンマーも、中国人を騙す園区を隠していても、敵意はありません。なぜなら北朝鮮やミャンマーは鏡ではなく、同類だからです。鏡が危険なのです。鏡は自分と正常な人々との違いを映し出すことができます。
日本の国会は毎日見学が可能で、政府食堂は市民が自由に利用でき、公務員と市民が同じテーブルに座り、公務員は市民に対して謙虚で親しみやすい態度で接します。それこそが公僕の本来の姿です。
これは制度の風格であり、権力が人民に対して本来備えるべき態度です。
中国政府は貧しい国も、混乱した国も恐れません。ただ一つのことを恐れます——市民が目撃すること、つまり正常な国はこうであってもよいのだと知ることです。
日本や台湾に対する敵対の本質は、二国間の恨みにあるのではなく、専制制度が民主制度に抱く本能的な恐怖にあります。それは支配者が国民を搾取する権力を失うことへの恐怖です

中国政府对日本的敌意,本来就不是因为历史,不是因为领土,历史和领土的仇恨故事,只是编给老百姓听的理由。 真正的原因,是日本民主制度存在的本身。 一个说中文的地方可以自己选领导人——这叫台湾。 一个儒家文化背景的国家可以建立成熟的民主法治——这叫日本。 这两个地方最危险的地方不是它们的军队,而是它们的制度。因为它们的存在,戳穿了一个流传已久的谎言:中国人不适合民主。 所以必须让老百姓恨它们。用历史,用领土,用民族情绪。让老百姓永远盯着伤口和仇恨,永远看不见伤口另一边的人,过着什么样平等的日子。 但同样是专制的朝鲜,没有敌意。同样腐败的缅甸,哪怕窝藏着坑害中国人的诈骗园区,也没有敌意。因为朝鲜和缅甸不是镜子,它们是同类。镜子才危险,镜子可以照出来自己与正常人的差别。 日本的国会每天开放参观,政府食堂市民随便吃,公务员和老百姓坐在同一张桌子前,公务员对老百姓的服务态度谦虚亲和。那才是公仆的本色。 这是制度的气质,是权力对人民本来就需具备的态度。 中国政府不怕穷国,不怕乱国,只怕一件事——怕老百姓看见,原来一个正常的国家可以不是这样的。 敌对日本和台湾的本质,不是两国之间的恩怨,是一个专制制度对民主制度的本能恐惧。是统治者害怕失去压榨国民权力的恐惧……

@roclove2020 They desecrated it by turning the still-legitimate palace into a museum: Nanjing remains the legitimate de jure capital of all of China (中華民國)

@xu96175836 The people of Taiwan remain the only free Chinese people, and remain in control of the only legitimately governed area of China. It is their destiny to protect the ROC on Taiwan so that they can one day retake the mainland after 共產黨 collapses

【中华保台反共复国党澳洲支部 × 中国民主进步联盟】联合声明稿(正式版)
在澳洲举行的本次和平抗议中共邪恶暴政行动中,中华保台反共复国党澳洲支部与**中国民主进步联盟(CDPA)**正式展开联合合作,以坚定的意志、共同的信念,向全世界公开宣告:中共暴政必须终结,中华民族必须复兴,中国人民必须解放!
本次行动由澳洲秦主席与澳洲吴主席共同组织推动,现场秩序井然,目标明确,活动顺利开展,充分展现海外反共力量的团结与纪律,也向国际社会展现中国人民追求自由与正义的真实声音。
我们一致强烈谴责:中共政权长期以来以暴力维稳、谎言宣传、极权统治压迫中国人民,剥夺公民最基本的人权与尊严。尤其是习近平妄图终身执政、个人崇拜、称王称帝,把中国拖入新的专制黑暗时代,把十四亿人民当作奴隶与工具。
我们郑重声明:
我们坚决反对独裁!反对习近平称帝!反对中共一党专政!
我们要求:
民主制度必须建立
宪法必须真正实施
自由、平等、法治必须回归中国
所有中国人必须拥有投票权与政治参与权
新闻自由、言论自由、结社自由必须归还人民
中国必须走向真正宪政,而不是共产党假宪法、假法治
中华保台反共复国党澳洲支部与中国民主进步联盟两党理念一致、信仰一致、目标一致——那就是:
推翻中共暴政,解救中国人民,重建民主中国!
在追求中华民族自由解放的道路上,我们不分党派、不分背景、不分地域。只要反对中共暴政,只要愿意为中国人民争取尊严与权利,我们就应该团结一致,汇聚成摧毁专制的洪流,成为中共恐惧的力量,成为人民希望的火种!
我们不仅为自己而战,更为中国无数沉默的普通人而战:
为被压榨的工人而战,
为失去土地的农民而战,
为遭受迫害的维权人士而战,
为被审查封口的青年学生而战,
为所有被中共铁拳镇压的人民而战!
我们要告诉全世界:
中共不是中国,党国不是祖国,习近平不是人民选择的领袖。
真正的中国属于人民,属于自由,属于民主,属于法治,属于未来!
本次联合行动不仅是一次抗议,更是一次宣誓:
反共不止是口号,而是使命;革命不止是情绪,而是行动。
历史终将审判中共暴政。
历史也必将铭记每一位站出来的反共战士。
我们今天的呐喊与坚持,终会成为未来民主中国的基石!
推翻中共暴政!结束党国奴役!
打倒独裁习近平!拒绝皇帝复辟!
建立自由中国!建立民主宪政!
人民必须有投票权!中国必须回归文明世界!
中华民族必胜!
自由中国必胜!
民主宪政必胜!

@GORMTHEOLD25 We were all waiting for the stuff between 1877-1941... :(

@dallasevo @LoneStarTexian @BarackObama @MichelleObama @ObamaFoundation So if you're a combat veteran you'd agree that the US has the right to kill terrorists. However, if a US citizen becomes a terrorist, he's allowed to be a terrorist? Also, we should ask whether these kids of immigrants really deserve citizenship just because they were born here.
English

@nhslinks @LoneStarTexian @BarackObama @MichelleObama @ObamaFoundation "_____ joined ______ group, so that gives President _____ permission to kill him."
Fill in the blanks with groups and people that you support but society might not unanimously agree with. No president can just murder US citizens, period. And I'm a combat veteran.
English

Michelle and I can’t wait for you to visit the Obama Presidential Center!
Starting on June 19, the Center will be open to the public, and you’ll be able to check out the Museum along with public spaces like a new branch of the Chicago Public Library with a reading room, a two-acre playground, a fruit and vegetable garden, and more.
Tickets available at tickets.obama.org.

@dallasevo @LoneStarTexian @BarackObama @MichelleObama @ObamaFoundation Dude the guy killed in that Obama strike literally joined Al Qaeda, I'm not talking about some guy getting shadowbanned by the government because of vaccine criticism lol
English

@nhslinks @LoneStarTexian @BarackObama @MichelleObama @ObamaFoundation So what happens when that same US government labels you as a terrorist because of your beliefs? Due process out the window and immediate death?
English

@LoneStarTexian @BarackObama @MichelleObama @ObamaFoundation When a citizen of a country join a group that has declared jihad against his own country, he's chosen to become a potential target. The US Constitution is clear that waging war against the US is treasonous, and a traitor will be killed on the battlefield or executed after trial

@BarackObama @MichelleObama @ObamaFoundation Will there be an interactive drone simulator where you can shoot hellfire missiles at wedding parties, American citizens & civilians who aren’t designated targets?

@Crypto_He @bcgame As an ABC guy I can confirm they're cute and shy but after I have a first date with them they'll return to their normal lifestyle of staying in their dorm watching anime and playing rts games for 17 hours straight. But mainland intl. students WILL talk to you if you move first!

@SurreMediaFacts They probably included the discs because not everyone had high-speed Internet back then. Using an installation disc might have been much faster for some people
