Way to cut off Japan from that headline lol.

Japan’s ‘imperialist forces’ divided Taiwan from mainland, KMT’s Cheng Li-wun says

Taiwanese opposition leader Cheng Li-wun blamed Japanese “imperialist forces” for dividing mainland China and Taiwan, as she paid tribute to Chinese revolutionary Sun Yat-sen at his mausoleum in Nanjing on Wednesday.

In a speech delivered after the Kuomintang (KMT) chairwoman laid a floral wreath before a statue of the founder of modern China, Cheng said Taiwan became a Japanese colony at a time of national weakness, following the 1895 defeat of China in the first Sino-Japanese war.

She said that after the 1911 revolution that overthrew the Qing dynasty (1644-1911), Taiwanese people were “filled with excitement”, with intellectuals hoping “a revitalised China would one day recover Taiwan and end Japanese colonial rule”.

Uncle had a goonsesh in Arby’s with OOP’s dad

Hah I guess I could relate more but both just seem too much like kids’ shows

This is medium erasure

I get what they mean. That wouldn’t be my jam

I’m going to mount efivars as rw and delete them

I agree that I can’t follow your logic or argument, it just seems nonsensical. If there’s a sense, it is beyond me or maybe you just see some sense in it that I don’t. Not sure further explaining will help, so I get it.

I don’t think the oppressed care if you are wishful for this or that time if it makes no difference to them. They’d probably understand that you were being wishful for a time when things were better for you, same as they undoubtedly are if things have become worse.

The idea that you’re never allowed to be wishful ever, even when things have gone worse, because someone somewhere is always going to be oppressed is a bit nonsensical.

I bet Iranians now are wishful for Obama, for example.

You are upset about people being wishful for better times, it is just your explanation for the upset doesn’t make much sense to me. I think it’s easier to continue this convo in just the other thread, I’ll continue replying just in that

So if the oppression is the same then what does it matter to the oppressed if you were wishful for a time when other things were better?

It doesn’t give much power to anyone to think “this time sucks, I wish we still had the better times”

Did that oppression stop or why is missing those times so bad?

Iirc this was also edited to look more like the white woman and black men meme

Not being able to see degrees to things seems more like a handicap than anything good tbh.

But if you understand “better” then shouldn’t that help in understanding how people miss better times?

Mad

Did Trump ask China to come help them? That’s wild

Bad is bad

There’s always degrees to it. I dunno why so many online forget about this
