Most Taiwanese aren't this deluded. I spent a couple years in Taipei and views on China are more nuanced than the ones lurking Reddit and Twitter would have you believe.
Sorry but since it's a democracy I have no choice but to blame all voters for the cringe of their leaders
99% of westerners still think Taiwan wants to take back the mainland while at the same time being independent lol
I don't think .ost of them think Taiwan wants the mainland back. In America, I think most of them don't even get that it is nominally a "government in exile". It's like they think it's still Formosa and the PRC is just terrorizing an indigenous population off of its coast.
ime this is correct, to most westerners Taiwan is just a generic people yearning to be free from China's yoke. they don't know or care to know about any of the history involved
PRC is just terrorizing an indigenous population off of its coast.
also love the deafening silence about the treatment of Taiwanese Aboriginals lol
average westoid has no idea those people even exist
Most Hong Kongese or Taiwanese are apolitical at best and pragmatic in regards to China.
The economy is so interlinked that a lot of Taiwanese nationals has business dealings in the mainland
Lurking Lemmy too. Well not really lurking. Is randint still malding? I have him blocked.

, we savor #FemdomFriedRice whenever the mood strikes, & #FemdomBeer is always refreshingly ready. No apologies needed. Curious about the flavor of Carcosa's chill snacks? They embody the essence of femdom, a taste everyone here enjoys every day!Broke: Wanting the Mainland to reunify with Taiwan in order to finally bring an end to the legacy of the Century of Humiliation

Still better than that whole Milk Tea Alliance shit.
Some people really like to be called boba liberal unironically
Putting milk in tea is popular in Taiwan, Tibet , Thailand and Hong Kong, (and Europe) whereas it's less so in most of China. So they made a hashtag about not being "mainland Chinese".
Imagine being proud of being A: lactose intolerant and B: putting milk in a beverage that didn't require milk.
Utter cringe
Milk Tea is an ethnic Mongol invention (an ethnicity no present in any of the "milk tea alliance" places and the majority of whom live on the mainland) and being lactose intolerant doesn't stop you from drinking milk tea.
Honestly, even if I weren't lactose intolerant, I am not tainting my 普洱, 乌龙 or 相片 with milk.
lactose intolerance is item #328472938472938472948273892375928712389079348723983498273489470278123978567293237856298374982374982347 in fake mayo shit, 80% of Japanese people can drink milk even though only 5% of them are lactose "tolerant"
that remaining 20% has a microbiome that reacts badly to milk (and this is changeable), but the vast, VAST majority of lactose "intolerant" people don't
Yeah that's the proof that any culture can have disgusting food, not only Brits.
and Europe
Only the Brits drink tea with milk in Europe though.
See, I know the Brits and the Irish do, and from the very small sample size of the one Frenchman I lived with would have black tea with milk for breakfast (cursory Google says it's "thé au lait"). Kinda just assumed it was the case for the rest of Europe.
In Poland both tea and milk are super popular, but even though 30 years of intense promotion of foreign food especially anglo cooking, Poles seen the mix of those two substances and collectively shuddered.
I mean some people drink this, but it's not popular and the source is rather the French cooking than British.
Nah, it's spread across a lot of western Europe, but a lot of them are absolutely shite at making tea. Don't even let it brew.
jesus christ, I hope people learned from this
shit in the ukraine that this behavior should terrify you into doing a bit of 
purely out of self-preservation.The DPP elite are absolutely counting on fleeing Taiwan Island and sheltering in the US after they leave ordinary Taiwanese people for dead. If Taiwanese people have any self-respect at all, they'll be waiting at the airports to tear these traitors apart limb from limb.
If Taiwanese people have any self-respect at all

I hear that Taiwanese freedom fried rice is extremely flavourful, being flavoured with 228 spices.
Uncle Roger too busy making racist jokes about the CPC to approve.
When im in a racist accent competition but a asian diaspora "comedian" enters
He literally posted a vlog about how he got hate crimed during COVID and continued his minstrel schtick regardless.
I like both my soil and my rice with zero melanin, thank you v much
starves to death
The DPP is so cringe I've legit met gusano zoomers whose grandparents were landlords in China say "You know what, the maybe the communists were right".
Levels of cringe so high it forces people to admit "Huh, maybe gramps did have it coming."
How dogshit do you have to be for internet communists to be cheering for the KMT to defeat you?
Read Red Star over China, great book if you haven't already. Until the communist purge of the late 20s, Mao was a member of the KMT along with many other Communists (who were dual members of the party and the KMT)
To be fair, if the Long March didn't succeed, the nascent revolution may have been crushed prematurely.
The KMT failing to stop the CPC was a skill issue.
reactionaries are always inferior unless they have continents upon continents of stolen wealth
the Soviet backed the KMT because they said that the Communist Party is not communist because it is an agrarian party in an agrarian country. They just told the Communists to form a coalition in order to work from the inside. I'm sure that didn't backfired.
I will give them that the freedom to drink an unlimited number of beers at work does qualify as a freedom, and one not enjoyed on the mainland. It is also a very weird way to run a Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Truly a marketing campaign devised by a PR team that's pounding a 6 pack an hour
that fried rice is pale enough to be ethnically british
The next time a lib tells me how china is about to invade Taiwan I am going to show them this and say "good".
Taiwan used to be the capital of Chinese streetfood because of the many cultural backgrounds of the reactionnaries who moved there.
The best food they came up with is Fried rice.
Also pretty sure they choose Fried rice because it sounds better in English because it's not even pleasant sounding in chinese
They picked fried rice for alliteration & also maybe as a reference to the Iraq culture war (freedom fries)
Iirc the Americans called it freedom fries because France refused to join their invasion of Iraq, and France vetoed the US resolution that would grant them UN support to invade Iraq.
Really weird cope.
I would have respected them a little if they had chosen Freedom Stinky Tofu.
