    The fervor with which redditors insist Taiwan is a country is really bizzarre. Such a weird thing to take such a hard position on if you aren’t an actual nationalist from the Chinese island known as Taiwan.

      I remember seeing one sub where someone was a 1st gen person from taiwan. They explained how weird the west taiwan meme was, only for everyone to turn around and joke about lower taiwan.

          I mean . . . that video of people doing the national anthem in a WalMart happened in north Texas. You've stumbled into a correct arrangement of words!

      My favorite thing is pointing out to them that Taiwan doesn't even recognize itself as a country. They're not even defending what they think they are, they just invented some ridiculous strawman argument to oWn ThE cOmMiEs that completely ignores their supposed allies.

      It's really confusing too, since it seems so detached from anything. I've never seen any of these people mention the concerns of indigenous Taiwanese people either.

      The only thing I've been able to say to give them pause is the United Nations and most countries in it have recognized the PRC as the sole administrator of Taiwan since 1971.
