Just reposting my comment from the orher thread ,nothing else to be said

The fact that there are self proclaimed socialists , communists and anarchists that even consider giving a late night show host any benifit of the doupt of not being garbage state department propaganda regarding foreign policy ,especially after the Venezuela and China videos, is beyond me. The mere fact that there is a “Taiwan” video as if anything changed on China’s approach and actions in decades should tell you everything you need to know. The only thing that changed is manufacturing of consent for this new cold war and the US gravitating its military presence towards that erea and against China. And he , one way or the other, will propagate the narrative and be a good little stooge. Worse so he is much more effective than others for the entire “demsoc/socdem” or even “anarchist” sphere cause a sympathetic view of him has been allowed and developed and people have been consuming his content way less criticaly than other bourgeois media cause he is “one of the better ones”

Also anyone that comments anything in the vain of “but he is the most socdem of the late night hosts” should instantly get 1 week ban

Regarding speculation ,since its also about its history too, he probably will have to go the white terror and martial law cause its literally the majority of political life for Taiwanese history. Not in its full anticommunist dimension tho. Also it scores him points among socdems/leftlibs which he will use to effectively whisper all that sweet state department cold war propaganda in their , open and uncritical now, ears . Also bringing up the "dark history" will mean nothing to no one regarding their views of the conflict cause he will most certainly describe Taiwan today as a "shinning democracy" that moved over from the bad things and became like US and has all them human rights and stuff ,and oppose that to the image of the EVIL AND AUTHORITARIAN CHINA , all of which will superboost the manufacturing of concent around the conflict
