This is a comparative analysis article examining the power-seizing strategies of Germany's Nazi Party and the governance form of Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). It rigorously analyzes potential similarities from five aspects—elections, institutional utilization, compression of dissenting voices, media control, and national issue manipulation—and warns of the DPP's potential authoritarian tendencies.
A fierce critique of the recent massive restoration of Japanese occupation-era ruins and the construction of 'culture parks' in Taiwan. The author views this phenomenon as a pathological 'pro-colonial psychology' and a sarcastic contrast to the DPP's 'Taiwanese Subjectivity.' The article criticizes these projects as a waste of public funds, lacking integrated design, and feeling restrictive like the Martial Law era, suggesting they exist primarily for financial kickbacks.
'Island of Fire No. 15' is adapted from Cao Qinrong's oral history book, 'Island of Fire No. 15 - Green Island Women's Detachment and Others,' telling the story of a group of female ideological prisoners at the Green Island New Life Correction Center during Taiwan's martial law period in the 1950s.
Whether a junior captain or junior lieutenant, in bunkers or on firing ranges, they think about and remember not retirement pensions or monetary benefits, but how to repel the old communist forces' harassment and protect new soldiers' lives.
This article strongly questions and satirizes the reaction of President Tsai Ing-wen and the DPP to the 'National Security Bureau leaked surveillance of social media speech' incident. It criticizes Tsai for shifting the focus from 'legality of surveillance' to 'martial law,' and argues the DPP uses 'martial law' and 'White Terror' for political struggle.
Many people start to get restless every February, shouting about how much injustice the February 28 incident involved. But in that historical era, was the 228 incident in Taiwan the only turmoil caused by anti-communism?
A critique of netizens and supporters of Ko Wen-je (Ko-fans) who prioritize attacking the Kuomintang (KMT) over discussing the substance of issues. The author argues that redirecting criticism from Ko to Eric Chu is a distraction tactic used to deify leadership. The article also points out the hypocrisy of those who preach democracy while calling for the state to 'purge' pro-Blue media, suggesting a subconscious desire for a return to the Martial Law era. The author urges for rational, matter-of-fact discussions rather than tribalist warfare.
