On this particular day, keep this in mind: the is an invasive parasite in . And stands for "Kill many Taiwanese."
Great to see the new mayor of Taipei being interrupted in his speech. His main asset with KMT voters is his family name. He's an offspring of the mass-murdering tyrant known as aka Cash my Cheque.

Today in Labor History February 19, 1927: A General Strike occurred in Shanghai. In March, Communist union workers launched an uprising in Shanghai. However, the Kuomintang quashed the rebellion, slaughtering 5,000-10,000 in the Shanghai Massacre. In the 1940s, the Kuomintang were driven out of mainland China by the Communists, retreating to Taiwan, where they maintained a brutal dictatorship until the 1980s. By many accounts, the Kuomintang rule in Taiwan was even more corrupt and brutal than the Japanese dictatorship that preceded it. In 1947, they slaughtered tens of thousands in the February 28 Incident.

Today in Labor History December 11, 1927: Communist Red Guards launched an uprising in Guangzhou, China known as the Guangzhou Uprising. They took over most of the city and formed a Soviet-style Commune. It was wiped out after three days by the Kuomintang. Purges and mass executions followed. Over 5,700 communists died and at least that number went missing. It was the third failed uprising in 1927, yet uprisings continued across China.

Today in Labor History December 10, 1979: The Kaohsiung (Formosa) Incident, a crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators in Taiwan. The country was under martial law. From 1949 until the late 1970s, the country was under the one-party rule of the Kuomintang (KMT). In 1978, President Carter had severed ties with the island nation. The KMT canceled elections. In January, 1979, the KMT arrested several opposition leaders. On December 9, police beat up two opposition volunteers. On December 10, they tried to hold the first Human Rights Day celebration. The military police surrounded the demonstrators, leading to violent clashes. The KMT arrested nearly all opposition leaders and held incommunicado for two months.

@szkodnix Akurat u nich to teraz wybierają na wodzów miast/wiosek/innych jednostek, niżli to parlamentarne albo w ogóle prezydenckie (parlament i prezydent 2024 - łatwo zapamiętać bo rok ten sam co u nas wybór długopisu)

Bez bicia powiem, że nie mam czasu (za dużo tego jest) śledzić ruch każdego jednego kandydata wszędzie. Powiem tyle że moje słowotoki skupią się na stolicy. A więc o stolicy!

jeden z kandydatów z (tzw. chińscy nacjonaliści), Chiang Wan-an dostaje opierdol od części suwerenu, że używa swojej dość nieciekawej historii rodzinnej jako część kampanii (polecam poczytać o wybrykach Chiang Kai-sheka, bękarckiego przodka Wan-ana jako kontekst dramy) — jak na moje mi to wszystko jedno, bo sam Kai-shek nie jest zero-jedynkowy jak u nas akwarelista i pewne zasługi dla republiki ma.
Opierdol zbiera raczej od zielonych (tajwańscy secesjoniści — w teorii obecnie panujący DPP i prezydentowa Tsai się do nich zalicza, aleeee, to kiedy indziej 😉), że to musi oznaczać bezkrytyczne poparcie dla występków Generalissimo — coś jak stęki sąsiadów o nasz ogródek, że popieramy pewnego pacana w kitce, bo nie dostał bana.

Sam Wan-an zły nie jest: bo do wyboru jest jeszcze Chen Shih-chung z DPP (a czytałem coś, że był przekręcik i ukrywanie danych przed suwerenem o szczepionkach za czasu, jak był ministrem zdrowia, i w ogóle chujowo, że rzucił tekę ministra dla wyborów, kiedy Covid szalał na wyspie.), niezależną Huang Shan-shan, która [podałem fejka, mea culpa, sprostowanie w następnym toocie jest] 😁

Ogólnie w tajwańskiej polityce trzeba młodych ludzi, dlatego też Wan-an jest popularnym wyborem. No i często panowanie w stolicy to krok w stronę panowania krajem (patrz ostatni prezydenci kraju poza Tsai), dlatego taki fokus na Tajpej.

Osobiście nie jestem lojalny Kuomintangowi, bo w Hualien liczę na zwycięstwo Kolas Yotaki (DPP) — fajna persona, a i reprezentacja dużej części rdzennej ludności jak znalazł 😋
