  • It’s measured on an individual-to-individual basis, and I couldn’t possibly give you a fair, all encompassing aggregate. Mmm… we have gained previously unimaginable power over our world, and we understand the universe better than ever. On the other hand, large chunks of the world remain uncivilised, and in their barbaric incursions they kill and pillage indiscriminately… but now with stealth bombers and drone swarms. I don’t think we pass the test collectively, but maybe I’m too negative. But each person is responsible for and will be judged on their own behaviour anyway, not that of others, so 🤷.













  • Very conveniently avoided which foreign entities supported the KMT and financed the militarisation and anti-communist, pro-American retheoric in Taiwan, and there was simply no mention of the decades of White Terror and imposition of martial law and political repression, lol. God knows why, by now, “the current generation of Taiwanese are historically and culturally separated from the Chinese”. Yes, it was a moderately successful brainwashing project, I agree. I don’t agree with it because of morals, but that’s just me, I guess. Okay, “the long-standing current establishment” was ’ engineered’ (you didn’t like the word created) with the same "thorn in their side/military base idea in mind. FFS, there used to be a “United States Taiwan Defense Command”, and to this day there are US military personnel stationed in Taiwan. To deny the American Taiwanese project is crazy talk, but some people get paid for it. I hope it’s not you!
