Most Taiwanese aren't this deluded. I spent a couple years in Taipei and views on China are more nuanced than the ones lurking Reddit and Twitter would have you believe.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

MODERATORS
Sorry but since it's a democracy I have no choice but to blame all voters for the cringe of their leaders
99% of westerners still think Taiwan wants to take back the mainland while at the same time being independent lol
I don't think .ost of them think Taiwan wants the mainland back. In America, I think most of them don't even get that it is nominally a "government in exile". It's like they think it's still Formosa and the PRC is just terrorizing an indigenous population off of its coast.
ime this is correct, to most westerners Taiwan is just a generic people yearning to be free from China's yoke. they don't know or care to know about any of the history involved

Most Hong Kongese or Taiwanese are apolitical at best and pragmatic in regards to China.
The economy is so interlinked that a lot of Taiwanese nationals has business dealings in the mainland

In #Hexbear 
, we savor #FemdomFriedRice whenever the mood strikes, & #FemdomBeer is always refreshingly ready. No apologies needed. Curious about the flavor of Carcosa's chill snacks? They embody the essence of femdom, a taste everyone here enjoys every day!

Broke: Wanting the Mainland to reunify with Taiwan in order to finally bring an end to the legacy of the Century of Humiliation
Woke: Wanting the Mainland to reunify with Taiwan so Taiwan will quit humiliating itself on the world stage
Still better than that whole Milk Tea Alliance shit.
Some people really like to be called boba liberal unironically
That fried rice is lookin pretty pale
I hear that Taiwanese freedom fried rice is extremely flavourful, being flavoured with 228 spices.
-100 FICO score 🤣

jesus christ, I hope people learned from this 
shit in the ukraine that this behavior should terrify you into doing a bit of 
purely out of self-preservation.
The DPP elite are absolutely counting on fleeing Taiwan Island and sheltering in the US after they leave ordinary Taiwanese people for dead. If Taiwanese people have any self-respect at all, they'll be waiting at the airports to tear these traitors apart limb from limb.

I will give them that the freedom to drink an unlimited number of beers at work does qualify as a freedom, and one not enjoyed on the mainland. It is also a very weird way to run a Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The next time a lib tells me how china is about to invade Taiwan I am going to show them this and say "good".
embarrassing
Taiwan used to be the capital of Chinese streetfood because of the many cultural backgrounds of the reactionnaries who moved there.
The best food they came up with is Fried rice.
Also pretty sure they choose Fried rice because it sounds better in English because it's not even pleasant sounding in chinese
They picked fried rice for alliteration & also maybe as a reference to the Iraq culture war (freedom fries)

Minister Wu's chill snacks
Hecking epic! 
Day 1 of eating lessons
christ, as far as great powers go, the US is such an easy mark
There was always something understandable about the freedom fries thing 
, so in a way I get it
Didn't that shit only come up because France didn't want to get involved with Iraq?
Correct.
and the nerds have to put a "no drinking and driving" warning on the bottom. Liberal Island.
