One Ridiculous Truth About the February 28 Incident: Taiwanese People Persecuting Each Other, Political Manipulation Obscures Complex Reality

This article comments on the complexity of the February 28 Incident, pointing out one 'ridiculous truth': many victims were reported and exposed by their own townspeople, subordinates, or colleagues, creating a 'Taiwanese persecuting Taiwanese' spectacle. The author questions whether the situation at that time was nearly in a state of war, with participants including military attackers, looters, Japanese loyalists, and Taiwan-based communists—not all simply innocent victims. The article strongly criticizes the Democratic Progressive Party administration for ignoring these complexities during their tenure, focusing only on a few victim stories and questioning the legitimacy of using taxpayer money to compensate individuals of unknown status (possibly including communists), viewing this as political manipulation.
